Maybe they didn’t want to compete with all the other big announcements at NAB. Or like the rest of us they just couldn’t wait any longer. Or somebody posted a new page on the website for little early.
Or at least soon. The story has broke, the news is out!
Here is what you get.
Dual HERO System Housing
Standard + Skeleton Backdoors
2 Curved + 2 Flat Adhesive Mounts
3D Anaglyph Glasses (2 pairs) (ok they needed to put something more 3D in!!!)
Sync Cable
USB Cable
Assorted Mounting Hardware
GoPro Studio software available via free download here
The sync cable plugs in to both units, just like the Hero 2 3D kit. One side is bigger to accommodate the electronics for the live stream and WiFi inside.
Here is what GoPro says about it on the website.
Capture a wide variety of content with the Dual HERO System. The tandem housing holds two HERO3+ Black Edition cameras (sold separately), enabling you to capture full-resolution videos and photos simultaneously with uncompromised image quality. You can also record synchronized footage to convert to 3D using GoPro Studio editing software, available via free download here. Single interface control allows one camera to control the other’s settings and modes for convenient shooting. Waterproof to 197’/60m.

Weight?

Will Live Stream display 3D or just 2D?
I’ll be hands on at NAB and report more!
