P3D Over-under twinning: Can it work?

[The Searcher <hopi@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi.

Thanks for reading my post.

As I mentioned, I'm researching a twinned SLR rig, but I need some help.
You see, my first impulse was to go the simplest route: that is, to twin
two modestly priced SLRs bottom to bottom. Side by side on a rail would
work too, of course, but the bottom to bottom seemed more compact, and the
stereo base is tighter that way.

However...

It occurs to me that a twin rig oriented thusly would require sideways
viewing! How can you shoot over-under stereo? The notion of over-under
twinning came to me from my very modest book on 3-D from Reel 3-D. If  I
hold the rig such that the bodies are vertical, my chips would be vertical
and that wouldn't help me at all.

Is there anyhope, or should I build a side-by-side rig on a rail?

Thanks for any advice in advance.

Lefty
