What Peau Productions does
Peau Productions is a San Diego-based private company, founded in 2009, that modifies consumer action cameras — primarily GoPro HERO (Hero 13, 7, and 4 Black) — by removing the stock fisheye lens and installing precision all-glass non-fisheye (rectilinear) lenses focused for infinity. The company leverages Back-Bone Gear's Ribcage modification hardware to convert GoPro bodies into modular platforms that accept M12, CS-mount, C-mount, and manual MFT lenses, and sells the resulting products under the PeauPro brand in configurations spanning ultra-wide to telephoto focal lengths. Beyond cameras, Peau Productions sells standalone lenses (1.21mm–50mm) for GoPro, DJI, Yuneec, Sony, Xiaomi Yi, and SJCAM platforms, optical filters including NDVI/multispectral filters for vegetation analysis, 360° VR capture rigs (Ninja 1–8 camera configurations), and repair/modification services. The company also distributes PQ Labs G-series multi-touch tables, overlay frames, and integration kits as a separate enterprise product line.
Revenue is generated primarily through direct-to-consumer e-commerce on its Shopify storefront at peauproductions.com, with international shipping and a MAPIR Camera reseller relationship supporting surveying and NDVI buyers. Pricing spans low-dollar board lenses (~$5) to modified cameras at $680–$1,120 and quote-based PQ Labs touch installations that can scale to very large custom sizes. Customer segments span surveying/mapping/precision agriculture (primary), professional cinematography and scientific/medical imaging, interactive touch-display integrators, and 360° VR content creators. The company operates with 11–50 employees from a single San Diego location (ZIP 92126) and maintains technology or distribution partnerships with Back-Bone Gear, GoPro, PQ Labs, MAPIR Camera, Kolor, Yuneec, DJI, and Freewell.

Peau Productions competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- MAPIR Camera: Sells survey and NDVI cameras built around GoPro and similar platforms, and acts as a key reseller of Peau Productions products. Targets the same precision-agriculture, aerial-mapping, and photogrammetry customers with overlapping reflectance-calibrated camera and filter offerings.
- Back-Bone Gear: Manufacturer of the Ribcage modification hardware that Peau Productions purchases in bulk and rebrands under the PeauPro line. Closest direct comparable — both convert GoPro HERO cameras into modular platforms accepting C/CS/M12/MFT lenses, serving the same surveying, cinema, and scientific imaging customers.
- PQ Labs: Manufacturer of the multi-touch overlay frames and touch tables that Peau Productions resells under a distribution partnership. Directly comparable in the interactive-display business Peau Productions operates as a separate vertical.
Broad incumbents
- GoPro: OEM supplier of the underlying HERO action-camera hardware that Peau Productions modifies. While not a direct competitor in modification, GoPro sets the platform roadmap, sensor specs, and ecosystem policies that govern every PeauPro SKU.
- Yuneec: Drone OEM whose Typhoon H CGO3+ camera is supported by Peau Productions' lens modifications and filter packs. Overlaps in the prosumer/inspection drone market and competes indirectly for surveying and inspection use cases.
- DJI: Dominant drone and stabilized-camera manufacturer whose Phantom, Inspire, and Osmo lines drive much of the demand for Peau Productions' third-party lenses. Competes broadly in the aerial-imaging category and increasingly bundles native multispectral/NDVI payloads.
- Parrot (Sequoia / senseFly): Through its Sequoia multispectral sensor and senseFly eBee drone line, Parrot offers an integrated NDVI/aerial-survey solution that overlaps with Peau Productions' surveying-and-NDVI customer base, particularly in European and commercial-agriculture accounts.
Emerging players
- Sentera: Provider of drone-based multispectral and NDVI sensors for precision agriculture. Competes with Peau Productions' NDVI/RedEdge filter solutions at the higher end of the aerial-crop-analytics stack with integrated sensor-plus-software offerings.
- Freewell: Sells ND, NDVI, and specialty optical filters for action cameras and drones, including a Yuneec filter pack bundled by Peau Productions. Adjacent competitor in the filter-attachment category serving the same drone operators and GoPro users.
Others
- Kolor (GoPro): Developer of Autopano Video Pro stitching software that Peau Productions recommends and resells for 360° VR workflows built around its Ninja rigs. Connected via software ecosystem rather than direct hardware competition.
