[photo-3d] Re: Current Twinable Cameras

["Joseph Valvo" <jvalvo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To Gary's question, Friend of mine and I are twining Nikon F4's. They must
be units having MB21 power packs as it has socket for remote electric cable.
I removed pushbuttion from one cable then wired it to other pushbutton.
 will describe more on wiring via your private e-mail if you wish, but only
regards F4's).

We are making  3 foot and 8 foot slide bars for stable mounting on single
tripod. Will send sketches if someone wants to scan and show the scheme on
their web. Expect to test everything in week or so.

After testing will take rig to Colorado in June. Have asked couple Photo-3D
members
for details on specific sites to photograph in Colorado but no replies.
Perhaps my requests were too detailed!

Am very interested in discussing my itinery on private e-mail address with
anyone having familiarity with Colorado. Need site specific information.

Joseph
