P3D Aligning Hypers

[markaren@xxxxxxxxx (Karen Obusek)]

Aligning hypers is not too difficult using a bar with a rail so the
cameras are parallel. I use the bottom edge of the viewfinder to
reference a point on both cameras, for example aligning the bottom edge
to a specific point on a tree, a building etc. RBT mounts, or better yet
the cardboad reduced height mounts will allow plenty of flexibility to
align the images. In fact, I once seperated the XA2 pairs and verbally
explained to Karen how to compose one shot, as we both stood in the same
place referencing through the rangefinders, and I moved 20 feet to the
right and composed my shot......counted off to sync the shots and I was
able to get good results in the reduced height mounts!! ( both cameras
hand held and we each rested along a wall, and we aligned the top of our
heads to a mortar joint in the wall......not exactly scientific but
don't tell that to a mason :-)) Mark Dottle
