July 25, 2020 at 6:31 AM. repair for gopro hero 7. My GoPro 7 just broke today. The lens part popped off and water got into it. I would love to trade it in and get the new GoPro if that is possible. I have been wanting to upgrade. But if not Is there any way to fix it?
Once the box is open, you will not be able to directly put the GoPro in the waterproof case. It will first take remove the lens. Therefore, you will have to shoot slightly towards you the square part of the goal. Then it will take turn slightly counterclockwise. This will allow you to unclip the lens without too much difficulty.
Ridiculous on GoPro's part to make a lens that is a total challenge to remove. I bought a plastic cover for my lens, and leave it on until I need to use the camera. On all of my camera's lenses I have installed UV filters to protect the lens, but in the case of the GoPro that isn't possible.
