Yes, you can use your stereo camera on a slide bar to do hypers. 
One of my most favorite (and successful) images is a hyper of Mt. 
Rainier taken from a commercial airliner with an RBT. I have seen 
several images taken this way with Realist, Kodak, and other 
stereo cameras in the SSA folios as well.

You end up with two identical pairs, just use both left images for one 
and both right images for the other. There is no difference in the 
height. Depending on what is in your foreground you may need to 
use a closeup mount to mask off the edges.

That's all for now,
