About Back-Bone BBRC2001A

Do it yourself if you like to tinker! Install Back-Bone's custom, all aluminum Ribcage AIR mod kit on any GoPro Hero4 Silver or Black (not included ). Your camera will then be able to take micro M12, CS-Mount or C-Mount lenses. Designed for small UAVs and GoPro stabilizers the Ribcage AIR was built specifically to fit the 3DR Solo gimbal! Their premium machined aluminum plates are 50% lighter than their standard Ribcage Hero4 Mod.

Designed from the ground up to be as light as possible, the new Ribcage AIR Mod Kit for GoPro Hero4 is perfect for any aerial platform but they designed it specifically with the 3DR Solo in mind. Benefit to the max from 3DR's unique camera control - only now with interchangeable lenses to get exactly the look you want. Many distortion free wide angle lenses are available. Use M12 lenses under 10 grams on the Solo or most other small GoPro handheld or aerial gimbals. Use CS, C-mount or larger lenses on bigger aerial platforms and gimbals. You can even fly with some great vintage D-Mount and Bolex lenses.

All of the lens mounting rings are easily removable for filter replacement and sensor cleaning. Combine up to two custom filters in camera at the same time. You won't need filters for all your different lenses anymore, just for the camera! Now you can use ND, cold mirror, NDVI and other custom wavelength filters with your M12 lenses or lenses that have no filter threads on the front. Choose from their line of tried and tested high resolution lenses or use your own. Browse through their library of high resolution lenses to find the right lens for your needs!

Note

M12 lenses under 10 grams recommended for Solo and other GoPro gimbals. Back-Bone's 'DEAD WEIGHT' gimbal balancing kit for Solo recommended for best results and to reduce wear on the gimbal. CS and C-Mount lens types are too heavy for GoPro based gimbals. These are recommended only for larger platforms.

CS and C-Mount lenses are too heavy for Solo or other GoPro gimbals, use them only with a larger aircraft or gimbal. Stick to M12 lenses 10 grams and under as a general rule for GoPro gimbals. Their 'DEAD WEIGHT' gimbal balancing kit for Solo is recommended.
