RE: The Searcher Lefty wants to know if there was ever the idea he 
described of a swinging shift device to place still camera in two 
positions the stereo difference apart?
Yes, there WAS a nifty device I have dug out of my drawer to try on 
my digital camera. The company that made it also made a viewer to 
hold to 2x2 35mm slides and this shift device was to take them with 
your mono camera.
The device (that may be found in swap meets etc.) is the RADEX Stereo 
Parallel...it gets its name from being a paralleogram shifting 
platform that is screwed to a tripod and the top half shift up and 
over with parallelogram arms to the new postition. I consider it 
one of the nice gadgets as while fixed distance, is quicker that an 
shift bar which is needed for two exposures to minimize movement of 
clouds, shadows etc.
It was made by the long defunct: Radex Stereo Co.

It is small and handy, even if the tripod you need isn't..BobH
