This is my recommendation too, and the way I now take the majority of my 
3D photos.  I created an "L" beam made out of 2 1x2s and attach the 
cameras to this with rubberbands.  I usually try to center the scene by 
looking between the two cameras rather than through either of the view 
finders.  The bar is also long enough that I can spread the cameras out a 
bit if I want to try some "hyperstereo" shots.

My best results have been outdoors as you can have a bit of a problem with 
shadows when two strobes flash at approximately the same time.  I like the 
viewer mentioned above and have found some photo album sleves that hold 
four 4x6 prints (two on top & two on the bottom) in perfect alignment for 
the View Magic viewer.

Ron
