The following video was shot entirely with the new GoPro Hero3 Black Edition camera. It includes alpine sequences including Base jumping, surfing, free diving, MTB, MOTO, kayaking and aerobatic powered flight. The clip has some amazing imagery, the view inside the lip of a wave crest above the barrel shot by Kelly Slater, monofinning with a humpback whale in bluewater, insane whitewater kayaking footage plunging down waterfalls, hurtling off snow cornices into deep, steep drops and a good deal more. Check it out once youtube can handle the hit volume! It was shot largely in New Zealand the the Pacific, perhaps to reduce the odds of secrets about the new camera system getting out prematurely. Well, its out now!
