Open GoPro - Here's how

To access the memory card or the battery of your GoPro, you have to open the waterproof housing and the battery cover. This practical tip shows you how this works the easiest.

Open GoPro: The waterproof outer housing

Before you can access other parts of your GoPro, you must first remove the waterproof outer casing of your GoPro.

• There is a locking mechanism on the top of the GoPro. Push it aside with a little pressure.
• Now the housing is unlocked and you can fold the black shutter away from the camera. Depending on the model, the closure can look slightly different.
• Next, you should make sure that the closure with the hook is detached from the transparent housing. Only then can you fold the back of the housing away from the camera.
• Now the GoPro is exposed and you can get it out of the housing. Under certain circumstances, the camera loosens stiffly - just use your fingertips to pull the camera out.

Open GoPro: remove memory card and battery

If you want to open the battery of your GoPro or remove the memory card from the camera, please note the following:

• Depending on the model, the memory card can be reached directly after removing the outer cover or hidden behind an additional cover. You can find this on the shorter side of your GoPro.
• You can remove the additional cover of the GoPro for the memory card with your fingernail. The memory chip is also locked in the device: by gently pressing the card, it comes towards you a little bit so that you can easily remove it.
• The battery of the GoPro is housed behind an additional flap on the underside of the camera. You can open this by sliding the flap to the outside of the device and then opening it.
• The battery, like the memory card, is locked and can also be released with a push. The battery also comes out of the device a bit, so you can easily remove it.
