Among the new products announced during the recent China P&E Show in Beijing (April 25-28, 2014) from Sunwayfoto® are two Arca-Swiss® compatible Cages.
With these Cages, Sunwayfoto makes their debut into the very popular GoPro® world of action videography a photography.
Both cages share the same design characteristics and features but each one is custom designed to fit the GoPro® HERO3 and HERO3+ models.
The SUN-Pro Cage
| Manufacturer Specification: | |
|---|---|
| Model: | SUN-Pro |
| Length: | 95 mm |
| Width: | 39 mm |
| Height: | 90 mm |
| Mounting thread: | 29 x 1/4"-20 UNC |
| Weight: | 248 gr |
Features:
- Custom made for HERO3 housing
- 3-side Arca-Swiss dovetail groove allows users to mount the GoPro into any Arca clamp.
- SUNWAYFOTO-specialized Satin Anodized Surface Finish for better abrasion and corrosion resistant

 |
| The Sunwayfoto SUN-Pro Cage was designed to protect the GoPro® HERO3 housing and to provide multiple mounting options of the set unto any Arca-Swiss® type Quick Release Clamp via Arca style dovetails on the three sides. |
 |
| A rear view of the SUN-Pro Cage shows that it is completely open at the back. The Cage attaches on the GoPro® HERO3 foot via a long stainless steel bolt without any screws or interference with the water proof housing. |
 |
| No less than 29 x 1/4"-20 threaded sockets on all four sides of the Cage, allow for numerous possibilities of attaching accessories or combining multiple cages together for 360° panoramic video or whatever your imagination can visualize. |
The SUN-Pro+ Cage
Although optically and functionally the SUN-Pro+ Cage is the same, there are minor differences in the dimensions fitting the more compact GoPro® HERO3+ as a glove.
These dimensional differences result in a weight decrease by a few grams.
| Manufacturer Specification: | |
|---|---|
| Model: | SUN-Pro+ |
| Length: | 90 mm |
| Width: | 39 mm |
| Height: | 88 mm |
| Mounting thread: | 29 x 1/4"-20 UNC |
| Weight: | 242 gr |
Features:
- Custom made for HERO3+ housing
- 3-side Arca-Swiss dovetail groove allows users to mount the GoPro into any Arca clamp.
- SUNWAYFOTO-specialized Satin Anodized Surface Finish for better abrasion and corrosion resistant
- 29 mounting sockets allow the mounting of accessories needed during the shooting
 |
| Besides the lightly smaller size of the SUN-Pro+ Cage, minor design differences exist in the front plate cut-out which allows for the larger GoPro® HERO3+ knobs. |
 |
| Otherwise the skeletal design and camera mounting mechanism remain intact. |
 |
| Same goes for the mounting options of the SUN-Pro+ Cage. Three Arca style dovetails and 29 x 1/4"-20 threaded sockets all around. |
Like all Sunwayfoto products, the SUN-Pro cages are precisely CNC machined from one-piece of Aircraft grade aluminium block, featuring the latest Sunwayfoto finish, which translates into a more robust satin hard-coat anodizing with improved abrasion and corrosion resistance.
I hope you found the information useful, thank you for viewing.
