lol, I know this is an old video but I just got a GoPro10 because the other ones aren't in the budget and this video was a lifesaver! lol...I was like how do I open this darn thing?! THANK YOU!
Something must be wrong with mine because it would have taken my nail right off with that kind of force, and it still didn't budge. I had to use a flathead
THANK YOU Soooo Much for creating this super useful video on opening the battery door for the GoPro 10 oi Vey! that was a huge challenge! esp since i've got nails that i don't want to break. i now just use your method with the side of my finger so I won't break a nail -- but the technique to push DOWN and make sure you're not touching that other part = PRICELESS!!!!
Thanks. Esp for it being short as this fairly critical thing was sometimes rumoured to be a part of longer videos. I can't seem to get the hang of it without watching the video so far so great
I should have watch this first because I was already getting frustrated cuz my nail broke trying to pop the battery slot open, by just looking at the photos in the manual. Thanks Tom
Thanks for this video. I must say though, that the way you are doing it does NOT work for me without a tremendous amount of force. There's an easier way, that I saw on another video: You push DOWN on that bottom lip. It appears to be designed to do so. THEN you can easily grab that lip at the bottom and open it up. No force. No screwdrivers.
Thanks for posting Tom! However, my battery feels a bit loose in that space. I have a brand new GoPro 10 and when I open that door, sometimes the battery pops out of place. Is this normal? It does affect the charging seems like at times when it's not completely sitting there. Thank you!
It should fit pretty snug I mean when I turn mine upside down it does not fall out I have to pull it may have to talk to GoPro customer support and have them send you a new battery thanks for watching
I appreciate this video, although I think there is something wrong with mine since I've broken 3 nails and still can't get it open.... :( Definitely don't want to go through this every time I need to charge it.
How did you do that??? I've tried and tried for hours, but it's STUCK. I've tried to push, I've tried to pull down, I've tried to push again, etc. Nothing works. I can NOT open the port/cover. It is stuck! It's annoying. How????
My door is stuck closed and I can’t get it to open. The long part of the door is stuck out on the sides. It didn’t go in place all the way. The bottom is latched and I can’t get it to open. I’m losing my patience and want to just throw it at the wall now. Lol. I can get this to open.
There’s a little indentation and you’ve got a push that down hard. You may need a little tool to do that if you can’t get your finger in there, but it should pop open.
Mine was ridiculously hard to open. GoPro sent me a replacement and it's vastly easier to open. I made a video comparison here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G57zLrf1L8s.html
That’s interesting when you push it down it should pop off and it should pull up especially since you paid 500 bucks for the thing you may have to send it back and get a new one good luck thanks for watching

Are you sure, sir, like, what about the other one right under the power button on the other side? I need to know if it's a door before I break it open :D@@TomLeeman
You were very fast to turn the camera, and you only showed the power button for 1 second at 1:18, but if you pause the video there you will see there is another lip with what looks like a smaller door there under the power butoon. Maybe a headphone jack, an HDMI or something? Or just design feature? @@TomLeeman
Just got a the GoPro 10 ten minutes what kinda fn batt. door is this...what a horrible system.. perfect example of don't change it if its been working the past 8 or 9 times.. ffs! So Im guessing I cant charge while using it like I can on the 7...
Yes to go pros are really expensive and they’ve over engineered them this one. You really have to push hard on that one side to pop open that door here to get your finger thumb in there and drop it down for it to open and it is a little bit of a pain in the butt Good luck. Thanks for watching.
