3D Pix
I will try to attach the URL below. Not sure if Blogspot allows linking. http://photos1.blogger.com/img/147/4131/1024/10010509.jpg http://photos1.blogger.com/img/147/4131/1024/10010504.jpg These were made using 2 PV2s with the shutters wired so that they triggered simultaneously. The Anaglyph (red/cyan overlay) was made using Callipygian 3D free software.

How I did it
See my Blogspot thing for a quick how I did it. http://yrendleman.blogspot.com/

That's awesome! 10 more cameras and you got yourself a scene out of The Matrix!

Y'know, I thought the same thing. Except I have no plans to film a movie with the whole "bullet time" stuff in it. BUT a gallery of 3d pix, I'm all over that. I saw professional rigs to do this stuff for as cheap as $700 (using sony 5 MP cams). I can't justify that kind of cash for this hobby. $35 bucks on the other hand is easy. Plus I learned some stuff along the way. :D

Nice pics! Where did you solder the the shutters together? Are there solder points on the board? I was going to do the same thing but the darn switches are so small it wasn't as easy as I'd hoped.

BTW Papa Wheelie, as far as attaching the cameras goes, here is a link posted by BillW back in june showing how someone used lego parts to attach the cameras. Nice idea as they can be detached and then reattached with perfect alignment. http://teamdroid.com/gallery/DakotaCamera

Thanks for the info EdwardR643. Legos, Brilliant! The points that were soldered are shown here: http://y.rendleman.home.comcast.net/pict0001.jpg You can see some additional rambling in a Question Link I posted earlier too. http://camerahacks.10.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=1377 Some of the things that need to be addressed in the teamdroid link and in my camera is this; the separation of the two cameras is too large. This makes a great picture if you subject is further than 10 feet away. For up close stuff, the lenses need to be closer together. The way to solve this is to turn one camera over. But the lenses are not on centerlines, so you need to adjust one of them up. This is where I am at right now. Legos might still work for this. Hmmm. I'll keep this updated.

Okay, quick update. The thinnest legos are 1/8" and regular size are 3/8" -- not including the part of the lego that goes inside the attaching lego. The offset of the lense centerlines is not quite 3/8" but is greater than 1/4". So, the legos won't be perfect. Maybe I could shim one lego by a bit once I find the difference. Sorry if I'm rambling in this photo link. Mods go ahead and delete some of these posts if it is too much for the Photo Link pages.

did you know you made the GOOGLE search engine with this .. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Callipygian+3D+free+software%22&btnG=Google+Search and JUST YOU comes up showing this threads text link in GOOGLEs page. BTW- where is the link for the software you used... I must have this !!! FREAKEN WILD. :wink: :idea: :D This should also be possible with the CamCorders !!!!!!!!!!!! EDITED ... I found the link using google .. Ha Ha ... http://www.callipygian.com

hehe my idea would be to put red cellophane paper on one cam and put blue on the other and it should work..

Additional FYI The separation of the lenses, and the distance to the subject should follow the rule of 30. For example if the lenses are 65 mm apart (approx. average distance for your eyes) then your subject should be 65*30=1950 mm OR approx 2 meters away from the camera.
