I must confess that I agree with Ken... In our rush to discuss if this is
possible, no one questioned if it is desirable or not.  Personally, I don't
see the point, exactly as Ken said.  With all due respect to the "newbie" 
who asked the question, I think this project is a big waste of time. 

What would be more worthwhile to explore is a way to suspend a pair of
cameras from 20 to 50 feet or so.  This will allow me to record some
interesting stereo pairs from a unique point of view.  Since nothing will be
moving I will have better control of the cameras, separation, alignment, etc.
