By Peter Rodick
I'm sure GoPro will eventually get this right, but for now, I'd recommend avoiding their 3D kit. We used this for a recent project and had two pairs of cameras running on two 3D rigs. I was nervous going in, because in testing, I found that the sync cables caused the cameras to behave erratically. Sometimes you couldn't cycle through shooting modes with the cable plugged in (say, to get to video mode or to adjust settings), and they would occasionally cause one of the cameras to freeze up entirely--the display would go completely blank and could not be reset without taking the battery out. Mind you, we were using four cameras (and had a fifth backup), and this happend somewhat frequently on both rigs. I originally assumed the problem was with one bad camera or SD card, but after cycling replacements in and out and still encountering the problem, it was obvious the sync cable was causing the issues.Once recording, they seemed to operate without issue, but I'd say about every other time we turned the cameras on, we were unable to record without either unplugging and replugging the sync cable and/or resetting a camera by removing the battery.Other minor irks about this product: I assume GoPro wasn't looking forward to the 3D applications of their product when they first designed their cameras (understandably), but the fact that just about all the inputs are inaccessible when using the 3D rig is vexing. We would have loved to use an external mic, but the mic input side of the cameras face each other in the rig, so they can't be used. And the inability to use accessories like a battery pack or LCD screen with the 3D rig is a necessary evil, I suppose.3D quality isn't superb, you if you're expecting more for the price, you're dreaming. It's a fun gimmick, and hopefully GoPro irons out the handful of crippling issues it has. In short, wait for the next generation.

By K&R in SD
SInce I had two Hero 2 camera and was interesting in 3D, this seemed like a great kit to try. Problem is that the syncing between the cameras is just not reliable. Both cameras have been updated to the same and the latest firmware. Both will initially start at the same time but pressing the shutter button stops one but not the other. It takes several more shutter presses to get them back on at the same time. But then the CineForm Studio software gets confused about what video goes with the other. So, you can take the first video only. Then download the cards, erase the images and start over. GoPro is no help in fixing this.

By C. Rivas
The case for the 3D setup is much larger than those for a single camera, so make sure that you have enough space for where you want to use it. Setup and use is fairly easy, but if you want to use it upside down, make sure you change the "UP" setting for the right-side camera as that is the primary one.
