Shortly after I posted this twelve days ago, Insta360 support reached out to suggest that I send it to their repair services. I filled out the form and they gave me a free shipping label.

Just to give everyone a feel for what that means, the costs to repair all the parts on this will be $291.

No, that's not cheap but it's cheaper than replacing it with a new device, which was where I was headed, and I see no reason to have expected it to be covered by any kind of warranty.

So this is merely informational for those who are curious.

Always fun when you get off the bike and find that the cage holding the x5 is empty. I must not have screwed it down tight. Went back and found it in the street. No lens replacement kits will help this one. Must have been run over a few times. Sad to say the event was not recorded. Battery popped slightly out and it must be buffering about 20 seconds before it writes to the MicroSD
EDIT: See images in the comments below for how I will implement backup security in case this happens again
