3D video anyone?

[RTRyder]

I see GoPro now has its 3D kit available and since I have a pair of HD Heros I'm thinking I may give it a go soon. Granted I'd have to swap the lens back to stock on the modded Hero, or would it make more sense to mod the stock one with another Sunex lens to get 3D without the fisheye effect???

Either way I see a whole new field of possibilites for multirotor aerial video work for not a whole lot of $ spent (assuming one already has at least one HD Hero to start with). Before I take the leap though I would like to see what a 3D video done with their gear looks like, not so much the hardware end of it but rather the software component that will make or break it I think, although 3D in that funky fisheye view would be interesting.

Its certainly a cutting edge idea for the consumer market and I think 3D aerial video would be really unique, yet another thing to soak up any $ remaining in the toy fund!

Hmmm, I wonder if that double case will fit on any of the mounts I currently have attached to the various multis in the fleet...

Very interesting indeed................also, I see that Panasonic have introduced a 3D lense. However, might the 3D effect be somewhat negated from an Aerial perspective ?

From my little knowledge of 3D, for aerial work you'd want more distance between the "eyes". I've not seen any actual video, but this father son team - http://www.britishtechnicalfilms.com/Services/Aerial-HD-3D-and-stills - is working commercially with it. The orientation of his cameras seems to support my suspicion.

I bought 3D capable goggles for my bird just for 3D cameras. This is the one I've had my eye on for FPV:

It's expensive and It doesn't look like it would survive a crash very well though.

BTW, Youtube has 3D capabilities. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ANcspdYh_U

David over at RCExplorer.se actually beat GoPro at their own game. He used two GoPros and synced them together to get a 3D movie before they even released this new 3D package.
