Re: [photo-3d] Re: XR 10 M Supply

["Allan Griffin" <agriffin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If anyone goes to the Cambridge Camera store in NYC to buy a
couple of XR 10M camera bodies and finds that they still have a
reasonable number in stock, this is the ideal opportunity to select
a couple from that stock which are already within close tolerance
for stereo twinning with synch inside 2 milliseconds suitable for
most sports action work.  Getting access to say 6 units on the
basis of buying two shouldn't be too difficult, though you may
need to sweet-talk Robert somewhat! (would you believe that
6 bodies will give you 15 different combinations for pairing to
choose from!?)  Of course, you can hope to get a good synch
match before you get to the sixth one. You will need a flashlight
and a double-ended interconnect cord with the correct plugs
attached when you go.  Those who have XR 10Ms can supply
precise details about the correct plugs.
