Get some strong string. Lay it over the battery and put a strip of gorilla tape to hold it onto the battery.
Pull the battery out with the string.

@SteelHands Gonna try this. Thank you. Sounds like a good solution tbh

@MeAloned 👍there's a thin rubber seal along the upper ridges of where the battery goes in. That's why it Wont just fall back out.
If you use some furniture wax on the battery after you take it out it won't be such trouble to flip back out if you ever make the mistake again.

Damn you must be really jammed that shizz right in there lol.
Ask if your warranty will cover it or take it into a store.
Good luck, man.

@MeAloned Did you insert the battery with the tab side facing down?
MeAloned · 26-30, M
@5thApprentice it's facing inwards. Gopro hero 6* btw.

@MeAloned hmm. Well you could try to slip it out somehow but you also risk damaging your gopro or making it worse. Good luck, hope you get it out somehow.

Tried this ? https://community.gopro.com/t5/Cameras/GoPro-Hero-5-problems/td-p/16505

@Picklebobble2 I meant gopro hero 6. for some reason I accidentally wrote 5. But yeah it's sort of just the battery that's in the wrong way.

@MeAloned why not see if there's a customer service number either listed or online.

I'd have to see a picture of the battery compartment with the battery in it.
MeAloned · 26-30, M
@Serenitree Thank you :) I could send a pic later when I get my phone, but here's how it looks if I were to describe it: That side where you have a little "plastic handle" to pull out the battery with... that side... is facing inwards instead of outwards. >.<

@MeAloned hang on. I'm going to see if I can see it online.
