P3D flash synch

[david macfadyen <dmacf@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been lurking for about 3 weeks now. I have dabbled in 3d
 photography over the years; there is an old Underwood viewer
 (manufactured in 1901) in the family.
 
 Recently I've been wondering how to synchronize flash with a twin 35mm
 set-up - cheap. I thought about a salvaged Radio Controll unit, servo,
 solenoid. Since I know nothing about this ; it would be a  time
 consuming project. I  even searched this mailing list archive , but
 didn't come up with anything. Then I came back to a simple solution use
 2 air cable releases with a T connector. I purchased a 2nd air cable
 release ( it's identical to one I bought 20 years ago) black
-bulb-comes
 with 20 feet of tubing and an adaptor for a Nikon shutter release. -
 $9.99 at Black's in Canada. I use 3 -12 inch lengths
 I bought a package of 4 T's (only 1 was needed but they wouldn't split
 the pack) from a radio control hobby shop sold for a fuel line for the
 outrageous price of $4.49

 I was hoping by this time to have shot some film and report more
 scientifically. With both backed open and looking through the lenses it
 appears to be synchronized to 1/30th - 1/60th sec.
 
 Hope this helps other frugal dabblers . I'll have to drop this mailing
 list soon .I follow 2 others as well. I'm getting overloaded with info
 
 All for now     David (near Toronto)
