Replace GoPro LayerLens From GetFPV

by Oscar

Got the Layerlens protection for my Gopro Hero 3 Silver from GetFPV. It worked great, survived many bad crashes. But until recently I bought the Gopro Hero 3+ Black, I found the image looks really blurry and I realized it might be time to swap out the layerlens as the plastic peice is scratched really badly.

As I was taking the scratched lens off the protector, it just disintegrated into pieces.

Got the replacement lens from GetFPV. There is a layer of green plastic sheet protecting the surface. Put it on and my gopro films super sharp videos again. :)

One problem is with the screws that come with the layerlens. I wish they are hex screws (allen key style), easier to work with than cross slotted screws.
