Protect your camera with the Thermo Grip Protective Cover for Insta360 X4

The Thermo Grip Protective Cover is an accessory designed specifically for the Insta360 X4 to improve user comfort and camera temperature management, especially when recording high-resolution videos such as 8K. Here are some important details about this accessory:

Functionality and Use

• Temperature Reduction : When recording video, especially in high resolution, the camera can generate a lot of heat. The Thermo Grip cover is designed to reduce the camera’s surface temperature, making it more comfortable to use, especially if you hold the camera for extended periods.
• Installation : The cover easily attaches to the Insta360 X4 body. First, align the top of the cover with the top of the camera and slide it down until it is securely in place. Ensure the cover is properly adjusted to maximize heat reduction.

Precautions and Maintenance

• Installation and Removal : Handle the Thermo Grip cover carefully to avoid scratching the lenses or damaging the camera. Install and remove the cover when the camera is turned off to avoid interrupting ongoing recordings.
• Usage and Restrictions : Although the Thermo Grip cover is effective at reducing heat, it is not recommended for use in extreme activities such as skiing, water sports, motorcycling, and cycling, where the camera may be exposed to impacts or prolonged immersion in water.
• Cleaning : Ensure the camera is dry before installing the cover. If the Thermo Grip cover becomes dirty or wet, clean it with a soft, dry cloth before reinstalling it.

Points to Consider

• Compatibility : The Thermo Grip cover cannot be used in conjunction with certain other Insta360 X4 accessories such as the Invisible Dive Housing, Utility Frame, Watersports Rope Mount, and Cold Claw. Be sure to plan your setup according to the activity you will be undertaking and the accessories you require.

The Thermo Grip Protective Cover is ideal for users who frequently record in high resolution and in conditions where the camera is likely to get very hot. This cover is an excellent way to extend user comfort while protecting your investment.

1. Lens Guard Installation : Before you start filming, install the provided lens guards to protect your camera lenses from scratches and impacts.
