My gopro lens got scratched today & it spider cracked when it got knocked over on the lens not really even that hard, & now its useless! Why dont they make a stronger or safer lens or protector for it?

Does anyone know if it can be fixed or replaced?

 

Lens Replacement Kit - GoPro Official Store: Wearable Digital Cameras for Sports

 

Thx! but i actually got some advice frum a friend and was told to contact mike @ragecams and they had a original wide stock lens & other no fisheyeviews for both model gopro cameras. they said they could install it
for me if i sent them in my camera, and also said they would discount
me the service fee of shipping it back, so im going to give ot a try i
guess, it will be much cheaper than buying a new camera.

 

Hope things turn out okay for you.

 

SAVED!!!I just received my gopro hd hero camera back from ragecams, dennis was really helpful in helping me select the right lens for my needs, i went with the 4mm & its working great and no more fish eye effect, bending corners of the video, or distortion, rage cams did it in 1 day and shipped it back to me fast, life is good!! Dennis told me the camera has been modified so i can now change lenses without taking the camera apart also and macro focus, whatever that meant LOL, so i did some research on macro focus. but not sure i need a different lens. He also said hero3 was coming out before xmas, and he was gonna give me a smoking deal, so i think i may sell me hero2 if the hero3 is gonna be a major upgrade to the hd2, in the mean time back to filming my craziness! I did a search and found the 4mm lens doing a macro focus that i though was really neat on a green grasshopper and gave me some kool ideas check this out.

 

Yep, the HD is working. Good news indeed.
