    • This step is not necessary but will make the process of removing the faceplate much easier.

    • Refer to the iOpener instructions for how to heat up and use the iOpener.

    • Apply the heated iOpener to the front of the GoPro for a few minutes to melt the adhesive under the faceplate.

    • The heated iOpener is very hot and can burn your hands. Avoid burns by using towels or gloves to hold the iOpener.

    • Be careful when pulling open the motherboard assembly as it is still connected to the back housing by four cables. The cables may break if stretched.

    • Using the spudger, slowly pry open the motherboard assembly from the LCD side of the GoPro.

    Little FYI ; pry slightly on the side with the LCD. Once it pops, work the other slightly. Then pull the board up and out but remember the cables. THE PICTURE ABOVE WHERE THE METAL SHIELD IS IS THE CAMERA LENS! CABLES ARE ON THE SIDE WHERE YOU BEGIN PRYING.

RageCams has interchangeable lens mod for hero5

dennis -

why can't You show how the lens is mount to that assembly? That's the point of it... can we change lenses that way or not?

Polina Luzenco -

Exactly. Can the actual lens be unscrewed from the mount or it glued / fixed?

contact -

The lens is heavily glued onto the assembly. It would be far easier to replace the entire assembly than trying to remove that glue.

Christopher Adams -

the guy who wrote the guide apparently has never heard of pliers. it comes right out, but no idea what the threading is.

mattatron4 -

Actually the lens is just screwed into that last part. I took a pincer and gave it a slight tug and it unscrewed just fine. So if you bought just the lens replacement you can screw the new lens right in!

kokutouchichi -

Any idea what the threading is?
