Gopro hd or hd2 flat lens DIY

[alfredo011]

recently i've been thinking about how the hell i am going to get this flat lens. I couldn't find any dealer in Las vegas or San Francisco. This can be some solution:

1. This is the first idea i had, to go to a diving shop and ask for some replacement kits for any other cam and see if some fitted in the gopro. for example.


2. To get some round piece of plastic or glass, drill the six holes and then attach them to the gopro.


3. Follow the tutorial with the baby bottles but personally i don't like to put epoxy, glue or silicon in my gopro.

If anyone knows about a place where I can get flat lens in San Francisco Cal or Las Vegas let me know please!

Sooooo whats wrong with ordering one online from Mako or J & J or anywhere else? Does USPS not deliver to you?

Mate, just get a blurfix lens. You can order it online and it's superior to pretty much any flat lens out there. Plus you can fit any 52mm camera filter on top it.

I used a medicine bottle cap, bored a hole and aquasealed the whole thing together with a 52mm UV photog glass filter. Took me 30mins to make and unlike the "eye of mine", this retains the stock lens.
