Oculus flat lens for GoPro Hero HD (best for R5 only)
The Oculus replacement flat lens has been designed for use with the GoPro HERO HD underwater case to correct blurry video quality as a result of the distortion of the standard supplied domed lens. Constructed of thick high grade laminated optical plastics, the Oculus lens is another affordable solution to enhance picture quality of GoPro HERO HD underwater footage. While the Oculus works best with R5 mode at 1080p it will work at lower resolutions but their wider FOV angles will catch the corners of the lens in the frame requiring cropping to be done with a video editing software.
The Oculus lens is an easy swap over that requires no modification to the housing and has been rigorously tested and rated to up to 70 meters / 230 feet for over 70 minutes with no leaks, lens deformation or picture degradation. Our stainless steel screws are also salt water proof. Our pictures show the Oculus lens being tested in a dive pressure chamber and comparison screen captures from the standard lens quality to the Oculus quality.
The kit sells for USD 39.00 shipped and contains:
2 units of Oculus lenses
24 stainless steel screws
1 instruction sheet
Payment is by Paypal only and shipping is to a confirmed address. Shipping is free by standard registered post or at an additional cost of USD 26.- by EMS worldwide.

Note: Although our Oculus lens perform well in deeper simulated environments it is important to remember that the standard Gopro housing is only rated at 60 meters / 197 feet and is not recommended to be exceeded. While we make every effort to ensure our lens are 100% sealed we cannot guarantee against any damage from water leakage since this is an end user product assembly (much like GoPro's policy on their standard lens replacement). We can only insist that you follow our assembly instructions carefully and test your housing, much like any other dive equipment, prior to a real dive.
