[photo-3d] Congratulations - it`s twins !

[Linfoot@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Browsing through the archives I came across some posts relating to 
twinning Olympus Stylus Epic cameras and could it be done etc.
It sounds like these are the same cameras that sell in the UK under 
the name of Olympus Mju II, (pronounced "mew" as a cat would) anyway 
I have twinned two of these on a home-made mount and am very pleased 
with it.
Picking out various points from various posts I can answer that;
no I have not hard wired them, apart from not having the electronic 
knowledge to do it I didn`t want to worry about snagging cables or 
void the waterproof feature, because the cameras are superbly light 
and small I can comfortably hold the mount between both thumb and 
index fingers and press both shutters simultaneously. Yes I agree the 
tripod mounts are in a stupid position and cause unnecessary movement 
which was overcome by sticking a piece of non-slip rubber matting on 
the camera mount, I can move the rig around now with no slippage 
whatsoever. Yes you can fire both cameras simultaneously with the 
infra-red remote control, but, only if you want to be in the 
picture ! it only works from the front, having tried it whilst at the 
rear and trying to "fire" it at the front (there is a nice 3 second 
delay to allow re-composition) I found that my aim was not accurate 
enough to get more than 30% simultaneous firing and is obviously of 
no use. 

Happy Shooting to all,

Paul Linfoot
