In this guide, you will be removing the lens assembly from the rest of the GoPro. To get to the lens assembly, you must remove almost every other part first. The GoPro Hero5 Black is waterproofed with plenty of adhesives. By completing this guide, you will have to remove the adhesive and your GoPro will no longer be waterproof.

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

The lens is heavily glued onto the assembly. It would be far easier to replace the entire assembly than trying to remove that glue.
the guy who wrote the guide apparently has never heard of pliers. it comes right out, but no idea what the threading is.
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!
Any idea what the threading is?
