CAUTION!
1. Read all our documentation thoroughly before beginning your installation
2. This kit is for the Hero3 Black and Hero3+ Black only. No other models are supported.
3. Make sure to charge your battery before beginning the installation.
4. NEVER force or exert force on any components. IF YOU FEEL THE NEED TO USE FORCE THAN
YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING WRONG.
5. The Ribcage DIY kit consists of highly machined parts and fine threaded through holes. NEVER
FORCE any screws as this can strip the fine threads on the through holes. Instead check your
assembly and registration and try again. All parts are highly accurate and DO NOT require force
to assemble.
6. Ensure your work area is clean, well lit and free from dust.
7. We recommend inspecting and removing any dust or debris from the parts before you begin.
8. Never over tighten any of the small screws, especially on the faceplate and tripod mount.
Excessive force or over tightening can result in stripped threads on the aluminum parts. Always
loosely fit all screws in place before screwing them in until seated. Additional tightening is not
required.
9. By applying this or any modifications to your GoPro devices you will VOID any warranties
10. Back-Bone takes no responsibility in your ability to use this modification
11. The Ribcage DIY kit is provide “as is” and without warranty
12. Disclaimer: Ribcage is a product of Back-Bone, and is not manufactured, distributed or endorsed
by Woodman Labs, Inc the maker of GoPro Products.
Note:
We should point out that the teardown was performed on the Hero3 Black, and the assembly was
performed on the Hero3+ Black, so there are some slight visual differences. Most notably the Hero3 has
a much different looking image sensor board than the Hero3+. It has a thick dark backing attached. It is
not necessary to remove this backing as the Ribcage was designed with enough room for it to fit.

•A Torx T4 screw driver (not required for Hero3+)
•A set of small precision screw drivers with a Philips #0
•Lens / CCD Cleaner, Puffer & Lens Cloth (Optional but recommended)
•A utility knife
•A roll of electric tape
•3M Double Sided Tape (Optional) Note: don’t use thick mounting tape – use only thin double
sided tape or the parts may not fit correctly.
•A small file, or nail file (For Hero3+)

Section 2: Ribcage Assembly
2-1 Your Ribcage Kit

Remove the two screws holding on the tripod mount and the cover plate. You can use your own tools or
the L-keys provided. The IR-Cut filter is stored inside.
For a complete list of parts and hardware please refer to pages 2 and 3 of this guide.

2-2 Transfer the LED and power buttons
Video: http://youtu.be/83UAabt3hxc?t=8m52s
Next we'll remove the LED covers from the original faceplate. Take a blunt, non-metallic tool such as the
end of a pen and apply pressure to the edges until they come free.
Turn the faceplate over and use a utility knife to cut the tab connecting the power button as pictured.

Next, take the supplied rubber O-ring and cut it in half with a pair of scissors or a utility knife.
Place the parts into the Ribcage faceplate. Use a screwdriver to push in the LED covers. Work them in
until seated correctly by applying pressure to the edges. Place each half of the O-ring behind the LED
covers in the faceplate. These will prevent the covers from being accidentally pushed back into the
camera after assembly.

2-3 Attach LCD/Button Strip
Video: http://youtu.be/83UAabt3hxc?t=10m12s
Insert the LCD/ button strip into the PCB plate. Be sure to align the button and ribbon as closely as
possible to the channel in the plate to ensure a tight fit later on, and to ensure the connector extends
out far enough to be reconnected.
