NOTE: TO CHANGE THE LENS, YOUR MUST DISASSEMBLE YOUR GOPRO 1080P CAMERA & THEN BREAK THE SEAL ON THE PREINSTALLED LENS BY TWISTING IT OUT COUNTER CLOCKWISE AFTER YOU REMOVE THE SCREWS LOCATED IN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT.

DIRECTIONS OF GOPRO MODIFICATION SURGERY IN DETAIL

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.

First, 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 seal. its not that difficult, & 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. 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 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, do not force it in, or you could ruin the threads in the 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.

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 LENS
