RIBCAGE: NIGHT VISION

Some sample footage shot at night with the IR-Cut filter removed from our Ribcage Modified Hero3+ Black. Shot with an IR corrected 4.5-13mm CS-Mount. The default look has a purple hue, but tinting or desaturating the footage will easily give it the traditional night vision look as demonstrated in the video. Light source was a small IR LED panel powered by a nine volt battery.

RIBCAGE: INSECTS UP CLOSE

We recently had a fun evening exploring the insect exhibit at the Canadian Museum of Nature and had a chance to test out some new high-res glass from Computar. All of this footage was shot on a Ribcage modified Hero3+ Black with our new Computar 2/3″ 16mm C-Mount and 1/2″ 25-135mm C-Mount. A big thanks to the Canadian Museum of Nature for granting us access! www.nature.ca

FUN WITH THE H3B CASE

Hero3 Case Modification Prototype

This isn’t waterproof of course but there are many benefits to using the camera while protected inside the case. The mod replaces the original glass, and when used with the Ribcage Modified Camera you can attach CS and C-Mount lenses directly to the new case mod. M12 lenses can be used with an M12 to CS adaptor.

The Ribcage is a little thicker than the original camera it’s built on, so an extended backdoor is required. In this case we used the extended door that comes with the LCD screen and filled the remaining space with a little foam. We are pleasantly surprised by how well the existing mounts can handle the added weight of much larger lenses!
