Out of curiocity, how much are you looking for and why?  The Bogen slide
bar goes from 0 to 80 mm.  This covers the very wide area of hypostereo
and orthostereo.  Are you looking into taking hyperstereos with a slide
bar?  This is not the best way to do it.  Moderate hyperstereos (in the
order of a few times the normal 65 mm) in my opinion are pretty much
useless.  For wider hyperstereos (10 times normal or more) you are
better off with a handheld single camera or twin cameras in long twin
camera bars or separate tripods.
