@chasescannell The new lens is longer than the original and will not fit in the waterproof case.
There are some third party kits to modify the housing too, but I've never tried it. Otherwise you can just mount your original lens at times when you need the case on.

Look for "GoPro Flattened" and see how to get very good flat, rectilinear perspective from existing 720p and 1080p (and even 960p or 5 MP time-lapse frames) using Photoshop.

@1iNova That looks cool too.

wish I knew this before... I tightened the lens too far and damaged the sensor. This portion of your changing lens was the MOST important and you left it out of your instruction, showing how it's done.
Well, I have a brand new camera, dead.
Thanks anyway for the info, a bit late.

@fotosafariclub I'm really sorry to hear that. I didn't even know that the cameras mount was threaded all the way down to the sensor, so I didn't know it was possible to do that. I will make a note about in the movie.
