Thanks dude! This video turned out to be the first result from Google searching for "how to change the back cover on a gopro". This is just what I needed for replacing the waterproof back door to the one with better audio support. Now I can go take some video riding my bikes :D
That was so what I needed... ! Can't thank you enough. Big wedding tomorrow and I have 100 pots to stir... The door issue is one less problem to over come and time is short. Thanks Friend...
Thank god for your video!! It's so simple but I couldn't work it out, spent over an hour on RUclips watching the same reviews but no one was showing how to fit the case. Thanks so much.
Damn, I was thinking I would need to find a thin nail or punch to knock out the pin, thanks a lot guy, you saved me a lot of work and from possibly breaking my case. Cheers.
No haha make sure you remember that too! I keep my water proof door on all the time though, just wanted to try the other one. Audio is better with the holes but in humidity it does fog and you have to use inserts but with the water proof one you can go jungle and it won't fog. I've got two and love them!
I think this method makes it it harder than it really is. If you open the door as far as it will go (till it touches the bracket) and then twist one side of the door downward, it it just pops off with very little pressure at all. With the bracket off (the back door opens a bit wider, and using the same downward twist, the door virtually falls off). Try it.
Thank you. It’s the same system for the Go Pro Hero 1 as well. I have not used my Go Pro for years. I used use it to film windsurfing in the sea. So when I tried to swap the solid back door with the one with the holes, I assumed the parts had corroded. I think I will buy a new Go Pro as I reboot my utube collection into a different area of interest.
Thanks! I've been trying to push the pin out and all kinds of stuff. Finally decided I had just better look online. Thank you VERY much for posting this.
i didn't realize that the door snapped on, i tried pushing the pin through first but then thought "it shouldn't be this hard to switch them out." so thank you!
I just got the gopro hero 3+ and a new lcd to put on the back... but the housing or the backdoor I got with the LCD doesnt fit to the cam housing... Something went terrible wrong in the buying process and my question is,,, who do I kill?
All the people that are complaining about the design obviously have not realized what this camera is designed for and what is expected from it. I think is awessome.
I'm not sure why you have 16 dislikes, your video helped me change the backdoor lol thank you for posting this. I guess theres haters everywhere huh lol thanks anyway.
haha I'm embarrassed on the fact i hade to search the web how to change, after seeing yore great video am feeling rediculed that i couldn't figure it out on my own!
Well sir the case you got is different than when you first purchase the GoPro hero3+ mine is slightly different and comes with a different back door with one pad going across the middle! concept is the same just different cases!

I was worried I would break it! Seeing you do it is just what I needed for reassurance. Thanks!!
Same, same D=
Thank god for your video!! It's so simple but I couldn't work it out, spent over an hour on RUclips watching the same reviews but no one was showing how to fit the case. Thanks so much.
Thanks. Your video is the only one that really shows how I change the door. Very helpful.

Nice, thanks. I thought you had to drive the pin out, lol.
Whew, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that.
I was thinking that too.
Me too! lol
Photo314159 yeah i know!!!

Ive had a gopro for 2 years and never done this. Lost the instructions ages ago. Thanks :D

this is what i did same thing is in the instructions
Or you can just pul it off
Hello. How many waterproof backdoor include in the Pack? Is the standard backdoor also waterproof?

I know this is a really old tutorial but it helped me with a completely different brand of camera case so thank you.
Thanks! I've been trying to push the pin out and all kinds of stuff. Finally decided I had just better look online. Thank you VERY much for posting this.
Never changed it since getting my Hero3 White. Never used it actually. Thanks for sharing.

Both of your tutorials helped a lot, thanks!
thanks, I wasnt sure how much pull it could take before breaking, so it was good seeing you. thanks!

i didn't realize that the door snapped on, i tried pushing the pin through first but then thought "it shouldn't be this hard to switch them out." so thank you!

I just got the gopro hero 3+ and a new lcd to put on the back... but the housing or the backdoor I got with the LCD doesnt fit to the cam housing... Something went terrible wrong in the buying process and my question is,,, who do I kill?

All the people that are complaining about the design obviously have not realized what this camera is designed for and what is expected from it. I think is awessome.

So you change that only if you're not going under water?
Is the case that comes with it waterproof?
Very straightforward and helpful, thanks!
