Description
**Please note that this product is not necessarily for everybody. It requires you to take apart and re-assemble your camera which will void the manufacturer’s warranty. Back-bone has no control over the end user’s skill level and cannot be held responsible for accidental damage. We recommend that you view the installation video before you buy to make sure this is right for you. If you don’t feel comfortable performing the installation yourself we also offer an installation service.
Important: Modified GoPro cameras are not waterproof after conversion.

The Flexibility of C-Mount
C-Mount was developed in the 1920’s for early film cameras. It was popular for home movie cameras up until the 1970’s and has since become the standard for high resolution security and machine vision cameras and lenses. As a result, there is a library containing countless lenses from almost 100 years. In addition, it’s a common mount type for professional scientific and medical imaging equipment so you can attach your camera directly to many telescopes, microscopes and more! Another benefit is that C-Mount is so common that adapters exist for almost every lens type you can think of.
