P3D Paired cameras

Ronald Beck wrote about using rubber bands to put two cameras together
for stereo purposes.

I use two cheap point & shoot cameras that I mount base to base on a
small (about 8 inches long x 1 1/2 high and 3 inches wide) piece of wood,
using rubber bands.  I vary the separation by moving the cameras around
on the piece of wood.  Using the wood the long way I have about a 10 1/2
" lens separation, which makes good hypers.  I put the cameras base to
base, leaving out the wood, for portraits.  I call this particular rig
"The Artists Special" as I am trying to convince some of the people in
the Columbus Artists Guild to use this type camera to make the pictures
they paint from.

As far as gluing cameras together, I have done that also.  I epoxied
together, base to base, two single use waterproof  cameras that were good
for up to 12 feet (as I recall) depth in water.   I shot stereos of my
three grandsons underwater in my backyard pool.  I don't really think
there was a "salon quality: stereo card in the whole bunch, but there
were a lot of fun stereos that we all enjoyed
