The world’s most versatile camera just got better.

camera_v2The Ribcage Mod Kit is fully compatible with the excellent Hero3 Black and Hero3+ Black & Silver action cameras you know and love! Take your own camera and supercharge it with Back-bone’s custom all aluminum Ribcage mod kit. Now you can have the ability to pick the perfect lens for any situation. Once installed the Ribcage will be compatible with micro M12, CS-Mount and C-Mount lenses. You can attach virtually any other type of manual lens via a wide variety of C-Mount adapters found online and in stores.  Take advantage of what professional lenses have to offer: manual focus control, a more cinematic depth of field, macro shooting, optical zoom and iris control. You’ll receive a removable tripod mount so you can connect your camera to professional mounts and supports, or use GoPro’s frame mount to connect it to all of their accessories. Want night vision? Just take out the IR cut filter so you can see in the dark with any IR light source! Have a difficult lens? Use the adjustable flange distance feature to get the perfect results.

Note: some M12 lenses require more distance from the sensor than the built-in M12 socket allows. We recommend also purchasing our optional M12 to CS adapter to guarantee compatibility with all your favorite lenses. Some M12 lenses may also require the filter tray to be removed in order to focus.
