GoPro's 3D camera

Whether through footage from the miners' rescue in Chile, a heli-skier blazing through virgin snow or a surfer gliding through a barrel of water, chances are you've seen images captured by a GoPro camera. Today, we're going to learn more about the company and get a sneak peak at their new, 3D camera scheduled for release April 4th.

"I started GoPro back in 2002 originally to make it easier for surfers to shoot photos while they're surfing [via GoPro's] wrist camera," explains Nicholas Woodman, Founder and CEO of GoPro. "Now, almost 9 years later, GoPro is the world leader in wearable cameras for sports."

GoPro's original, waterproof camera was designed to be strapped to the user's wrist. The thinking behind it was to have a camera readily available to capture those perfect shots in a way that didn't impede on the user's enjoyment of his/her sport. That philosophy continues to drive innovation today as GoPro is set to release its 3D Hero System, which uses innovative housing and synchronization cables to combine two HD Hero cameras in a way that produces 3D video and photos. The housing will be available this week for $99, which includes the synchronization cables and associated software.

"One of our goals is to build the world's most versatile camera," says Woodman. "There are so many sports, activities and passions that people have that we wanted to make a camera that you can use for anything but that works really, really well for anything."

Do u no how heavy it is?

This would be unreal if you could mount the LCD BacPac on one and the Battery BacPac on the other and shoot 3D for longer with a viewfinder!

Can't wait to get it down to the snow this year

@pouncey007 Cool idea, except when the finished product ends up costing twice as much as it currently does! And then it won`t sell against it`s (Chinese made) competitors like the Contour HD. EVERYthing is made in China and the Far East nowadays. In 10 or 15 years the cost of having these made in China will rise as the workers in the assembly plants living standards rise and they demand higher wages. Production will then move to another country that promises cheap production cost!

@mhank64 Awkward interviewer for the whole thing..

[pouncey007]

I was completely impressed until 14:25. China...really!!!! So every time somebody purchases a Go Pro, we give our money to China a further dig our country into a financial hole. How bout hire some Americans to build your cameras so we can keep our revenue in our own country.

nice 3d kit for 1000$ , but a little more complicated for majority people , better use single camcorder with 2 lenses and 1 SD card and have 1 single 3d file and transfer directly on hard drive or watch directly on 3dtv , than use 2 separate camcorder + 2 Sd memory card + wire synchronization + 2 x 2d files on separate Sd card + use a special software to make together in 1 file ...
