Back-Bone and Nat Geo Lions 360

Don’t you hate it when lions eat all your cameras? We provided our Ribcage modified GoPro cameras and lenses to film National Geographic’s Lions 360 video, plus we were able to help in other ways. During filming several of the production’s stock GoPro cameras were actually destroyed by the curious lions. Rather than write them off, we had the production send them to us. What many people don’t realize about our camera mod kits is that if you install one on a broken GoPro camera it can actually fix many problems, particularly if the lens is damaged. If it still turns on you can likely salvage it!

One of the cameras actually did require a spare part as the lions had chewed through the LCD readout on the front, though that component isn’t required for the camera to function. We disassembled the cameras, installed our Ribcage AIR Mod Kit for Hero4 and… good as new, Only now you can add your choice of lens! Ribcage Mod Kits are available for GoPro Hero3/3+, Hero4 & Yi 4K/4K+.

VR Mounts for your Ribcage Mod

VR Mounts for your Ribcage Mod

We’ve developed a series of mounts specifically for Ribcage Modified Hero4 cameras that allow one camera to be placed vertically (Entaniya 280), 2 cameras back-to-back or 3 cameras together in either vertical or horizontal configurations. These are perfect for capturing complete 360 degree videos with Entaniya or other super wide angle lenses.

This sample footage was taken with our Ribcage 3X VR Mount. This mount is capable of holding three Ribcage Modified Hero4 cameras in either portrait or landscape orientations. When in portrait (sideways) orientation all the shooting modes on the camera can be used while still getting full spherical coverage. That means you can take advantage of the added resolution of 4K or increased frame rates. In addition the battery door, the ports and all buttons are easily accessible when in portrait configuration.

This footage was shot in 2.7K/60 which produces a stitched output greater than 4K. Shooting on 4K/30 will produce a stitched output of about 5800×2900. In this case the video was output at 4096 x 2048 @ 60fps
