This might sound familiar, you just bought an awesome new
Flip Video Camera. You’ve used it once or twice and then it drops, or is hit by
something else and the lens ends up cracked. Then you call the manufacturer and
realize they do not offer repair or parts! Don’t despair, you can fix it
yourself and have it working as good as new (as long as the mechanics are fine).
This kit is designed to replace the lens (actually the dust cover) on the
popular Flip Video camcorders (current models of the Flip Ultra and Flip Ultra
HD)
Includes a 2 part epoxy intended for this type of material. We include a spare
lens in the kit at no extra charge! That way if you make a mistake installing
the lens or it ends up breaking again you have a solution! An installation
overview guide is included with every kit, we also have a link to a YouTube
video "How to Replace your Flip Cameras Lens" below. If you would like a
complete tool kit for replacing the flip cam glass, you can find this in the
related items on the bottom of this page.

NOTE: Be aware that these camera's are not
water or completely dust proof and watch for any signs that your lens has been

and there might be additional problems with your lens if you camera was hit hard
in the lens area. Attempt any repair at your own risk - we are not responsible
and take no liability to damage that you may do while attempting to repair your
camera. Installing this replacement lens may void your manufacture warranty or

You can view a video on How to replace the
flip camera lens on YouTube.com. Because we felt strongly that you may need
some other tools to get the job done right, we have made this kit from our
popular selection of tools. (We do not recommend the use of super glue as the
fumes and chemicals could harm or damage electrical or mechanical components of
the camera)
