I needed to install some M5 inserts into the base of my modified GoPro rig, so this was a great opportunity to show off the 3DZWMAN press in action. While I didn't use the press as originally designed in this video, it does show the flexibility of it and that's what I like about it so much. Sorry for the slight blur in the close-up shots, GoPro's don't have the best focal length for macro shots, but you get the idea. Do note that for larger inserts, pre-heat or a lot of patience, may be required.

I could not get just an M6 tip, so I grabbed this kit for the larger sizes. (aff link):
