Insta360 X4 Air CINSBAFL 35mm
A constant f/1.94 aperture and 35mm equivalent prime focal length restore the same sharp 360-degree image quality as the original X4 Air lens. Included tools enable simple at-home replacement and cleaning, eliminating repair downtime without needing professional service. Portrait and street shooters will benefit most from its center-focused clarity, though its landscape score of 11.7/100 makes it unsuitable for expansive scenic shots.
