The Insta 360 One R is a modular camera which can be set up for either a single lens or 360 filming. This page takes you through how to set up and navigate the menu readying for filming.

360 Lens
4k Lens
Battery
Battery charger
Micro SD card
Camera mount/casing
The micro SD card sits in a slot on the side of the camera.
To close the casing, line up the two arrows and make sure the yellow tab is not showing.
The battery for the camera is the red block which connects to the bottom of the camera. Slide the release button to remove the battery and it can be charged via the USB battery charger unit.
Alternatively, charge the battery via the USB slot on the side of the camera.
The camera is a modular build so you need to attach the body of the camera (with the touch screen) to the battery and choose which lens you are going to use and attach this to the side of the body.
When using the 360 lens, always have the protective cover over the lens when not filming.
There are two cases/mounts. The clear one fits with the 4K lens and the black casing fits with the 360 lens. The black casing also has two lens protectors which can be fitted, but these can be visible in the filming so it is advised not to use them.
