Head and drive, as the source states them: flat / countersunk head.
This entry is marked confirmed and comes from ruassets.aten.com.

How to check the screw before you buy
- Rack and enclosure hardware mixes metric and imperial (#8-32, #10-32, #6-32), so confirm the thread before forcing a screw.
- Diameter: across the threads an M3 screw measures about 3 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- Pitch: 0.5 mm from one thread crest to the next (20 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
- Length: the source describes a countersunk (flat) head, and those are measured overall, from the top of the head to the tip.
- The record states 5 mm. Going longer risks bottoming out or touching parts behind the hole; going shorter loses thread engagement.
- Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M3 heads take PH1 for Phillips and T10 for Torx, and a 2.5 mm hex key for socket heads; a bit that fits loosely will cam out and strip the head.
- Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M3 is about 80-130 N·cm into metal threads and 35-60 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M3
- GoPro's own official Dive Housing user guide does not itself state a metric screw size for the housing body; only third-party accessory manufacturer (INON) manuals explicitly cite M6 screws for their add-on arms/adapters attaching to the housing.
- Pond/aquarium equipment manuals aimed at consumers rarely specify exact thread pitch or length for internal fasteners, since these are considered non-user-serviceable; distributor-level assembly/service manuals (e.g., Maytronics internal documents) are a better source than end-user guides.
