Re: [photo-3d] stereo rig camera

["Andrei" <apetrov@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for your interest.

I used standard approach for twinning such cameras.  I opened them; put
synchronization wires (six in each camera) for shutter release button,
self-timer button, and picture-taking mode button.  Plus, I connected
batteries in parallel, just in case.  Without Yashica customer service
cooperation it was impossible to do that.  I really appreciate, that they
sell Repair Manual to me.

I used standard 9 pin micro-connectors, which I mount outside the cameras,
as you can see on attached photographs.  I built special extending cable.

Thanks

Andrei
