Genus have designed a nice looking cage for the GoPro Hero 3. The cage is a made from aluminium and will house a Hero 3 both with and without it’s native protective case.

The cage offers a hefty amount of protection for use in the professional field, with over 30 1/4-20 and 3/8 threads for an array of different mounting options.

There is a window to allow use of both the USB and mini HDMI ports. It also adds a nice 52mm thread to the front element to allow use of conventional filters.

• GoPro Mount adaptor allows 14 different mounting positions.
• 30 separate mounting positions using ¼”-20 threaded holes.

• Precision CNC Aluminium housing for 360-degree protection,
• Accessibility Window to allow for HDMI output and USB external Power
• Safety line anchor point, to allow for attachment of lanyards, Carabiners etc.
• Can sit the GoPro camera flat on a surface whilst in the waterproof housing.
• Cage allows lens to be centred optically with a tripod or other camera mount.
• Naked GoPro Adaptor Shims, allowing the use of camera without housing to combat lens-fogging issues.
