GoPro Hero HD first version- Making full spectrum ( Removing IR filter) I have first version of gopro Hero 1 HD ( without screen version). I want to take out the IR filter from the camera to make it work in full spectrum. I disassembled the gopro (see picture below) and found that the lens is fixed. The only option is cutting the lens using 4、 Gently twist and pull the lens cover to remove it. To open the camera lens on a GoPro Hero 5, you can follow these steps: 1. Start by ensuring that the camera is turned off to avoid any accidental damage. 2. Locate the lens cover on the front of the camera. It is a small circular piece that protects the lens. 3. Gently twist and pull the Step 1 Remove the cover. 1. put ur fingers on the case naturally. 2. Turn the cover so it comes off! You are done! DO NOT DAMAGE THE LENS WHILE THE COVER IS OFF! Add a comment. Another option may be to sign up for GoPro plus and then do a camera replacement for about $99. Otherwise no good way to fix the lens. There is someone selling replacement lens on ebay with instructions but they aren't cheap. $169 per lens. They are now much less - about $4x.xx on ebay and posibly the exact same ones for $3x.xx on Aliexpress. Excellent advice. After about 5-10 minutes of first inserting a sheet of paper between the lens cover "louvers" I got brave and used a dental pick as well. The paper alone would not free up the louvers, but using the dental pick and GENTLY prying I was able for free-up the operation of the lense louvers. 1. Remove the lens cap: Before you start removing the lens protector, make sure to remove the lens cap first. 2. Use a lens wrench: If the lens protector is screwed on tightly, you may need to use a lens wrench to loosen it. Place the lens wrench on the filter ring and turn it counterclockwise to loosen the filter. 3. Remove the cover to see for yourself (pull it a bit from the camera body and rotate about 90° until it releases). Or see pictures of mine; when open, notice the rubber band on the outside of the ring on the lens cover's inside part - that seals the hole, pressing against the outer ring of the metal enclosure of the lens.
