DIRECTIONS OF
GOPRO
MODIFICATION SURGERY IN DETAIL:
DETAILED Gopro
lens
change
instructions to be read in full:
We also will include a few extra tools, lubricant, & rubber gaskets to assist you in uninstalling/changing your
current lens
to the new 6mm narrow lens.
A few things you need to know is that when you are removing the original wide stock
gopro
lens
is that you will need to find an area to perform this where you have room to work and maintain the 7 mini screws and 2 buttons that can easily get lost.
1st. you will need to activate the video output of the
gopro
to perform the live video feed and send it to a tv set using the 2.5mm to 3 way red yellow and white cable that came with your
gopro
camera 1080p hd. The yellow is for composite video. or use blue green red for hdmi out so you can see the image on a lcd full HD while you later on focus in the new 6mm
lens
.(we offer monitors of many flavors of lcd's for the gopro & custom cabling with wireless options also)
Now Take the included small philips screw driver to remove the 4 screws located in the battery compartment, then 3 other screws located inside by the circuit board right next to the usb port, this will allow you to remove the front cover.
Now use a heat gun,(hold 5 inches away for a few seconds of heat) or use hair dryer to heat up the shaft around the stock
lens
to loosen the glue seal that was originally put on there, takes about 10 - 15 seconds of heating, & will not harm the gopro original
lens
.
WARNING:
IF USING A HEAT GUN, DO NOT OVERHEAT THE LENS, THIS CAN CAUSE THE PLASTIC SHAFT TO MELT & WARP IT SO THE LENS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO THREAD IN CORRECTLY.(IF THAT HAPPENS TO YOU, THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON A NEW AFTERMARKET SHAFT FOR THAT CAMERA TO REPLACE THE STOCK SHAFT & IT SHOULD BE AVAILABLE SOON)
Then insert the included rubber sleeve around the front metal ring around the
lens
& then use some pliers, gripping it tightly but note, use the type with the oval hole in the middle of them, not needle nose) to grip it so it will not scratch the outer lip of original
lens
.(you could also wrap electrical tape around the plyers to create a no scratching way to coat your plyers
Its best to over tighten the
lens
a little at first after you heat it up to help break the glue seal then twist counter-clockwise to un-thread the lens out of the shaft.
Its best to break the lens seal, and then after thats done, donot remove the lens for another 20 minutes so the shaft can cool and maintain the same moold.
Its not that difficult to break the seal, & the stock lens should come out very easy.
Thats how we do it here with perfect success every time.
WE CAN ALWAYS CHANGE IT FOR YOU IF YOU WANT TO STOP BY OUR SHOP OR MAIL US YOUR CAMERA FOR A SMALL EXTRA FEE.
2. after the lens is cooled you can now carefully twist out the
lens
fully counter clockwise using your thumb & first finger.
3.After you remove the stock
lens
, then carefully thread in the new RageCams
lens
evenly, & it should thread in very smooth with a little to no force needed, if you start to notice its off threading, or need to use maximum force to thread it in, then stop and twist it back out, dont force it in, or you could ruin the threads in the shaft.
gopro
made the
lens
shaft out of cheap plastic, & if they were smart they should have made it out of metal, but they didnt intend on RageCams fabricating aftermarket lenses to fit their camera so they went the "El Cheapo Way" in developing this cameras lens shaft.
NOTE:
GOPRO DOES NOT LIKE THE IDEA OF YOU CHANGING LENSES ON THEIR CAMERA, SO MAKE SURE IF YOU EVER HAVE A WARRANTY ISSUE WITH YOUR CAMERA & ARE REQUESTED TO SEND IT BACK TO GOPRO, YOU WILL NEED TO INSTALL THE STOCK 1.7MM LENS BACK IN IT, SO IT WILL NEVER LOOK LIKE IT WAS TAMPERED WITH, & ALSO A NEW COVER PLATE IF YOU CUT IT DOWN, WHICH WE OFFER EXTRAS IF NEEDED.
IF YOU BUY THE CAMERA FROM US, WE WILL WARRANTY IT AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A RAGECAMS LENS ON IT OR THE ORIGINAL GOPRO LENS.
When threading in any new
lens
, be sure to use the included lubricant, vasoline around the lens threads which we include on a cue tip to help keep the lens & shaft lubricated so lens change can be done over and over again without thread damage.
You must absolutely confirm that the
lens
is going in perfectly even, then you are good to go & you can then macro focus the
lens
by looking at a monitor-tv or lcd composite video out or component out when using our 7" lcd monitors to set up focus in HD, its awesome!
You Need a battery inserted in the back of the
gopro
so you can have it powered while focusing the
lens
to your exact needs.
4. Be careful that the top function button & front function button do not get lost in the process.
Now put the
gopro
back together & use the rubber o ring we sent that fits around the
lens
to hide the circuit board & give that finished professional look.
Enjoy your NEW
LENSES
!!!

When I personally tested this filter inside of the GOPRO the glare was totally erased from any bright lights allowing you to see amazing detail, & the clouds in the sky looked much more detailed.defined than they ever looked before we developed this filter disk insert..
You will love this addition for sure 100%!
15% SHADED & LAB TESTED FOR PERFORMANCE.
ALSO IMPROVES COLOR PERFORMANCE, & REPLICATION!
THIS FILTER WILL ALSO PROTECT THE CMOS SENSOR FROM DEVELOPING DEAD PIXELS THAT RESULT IN OVER EXPOSURE FROM BRIGHT SUNLIGHT GLARING DIRECTLY INTO THE CAMERA.
23MM in diameter covers the lens great
ITS JUST LIKE GIVING YOUR GOPRO SUNGLASSES ON THOSE BRIGHT SUNNY DAYS!
ITS EASILY REMOVABLE BY APPLICATION, & you dont want to use the filter in super low light conditions because of the dark tint which will darken the video.
THE FILTER FITS NICE INSIDE OF THE LENS PROTECTOR, & HELPS CONTROL THE BRIGHT LIGHTING FROM REFLECTION OFF WATER, OR GLASS, & GLARE FROM STADIUM/CONCERT LIGHTING, OR HEADLIGHTS.
