GoPro 3D: Skiing & Snowboarding in Mammoth

3d-mammothShot 100% on the 3D HERO® System from GoPro®. Matt Cook, Charles Evans, Abe Kislevitz and friends from the USC Ski & Snowboard Team shred the slopes of spring-time Mammoth Mountain with GoPro’s 3D Hero System.

The GoPro 3D HERO System allows you to combine two 1080p HD HERO cameras into a single housing to record 3D video and photos while simultaneously recording in 2D. A synchronization cable plugs into the rear HERO Port on both cameras to join them together, enabling both cameras to record video and photos in perfect synchronization. This is a requirement for professional quality 3D and is available only from GoPro.

Note: You need 3D glasses to fully enjoy this video.
