S3D Camera Hacking Booklet
Hello,
Given the recent questions regarding twin rigs based on small
electronic cameras on photo-3d, I thought I would once again mention the
booklet I finished on camera hacking.
It's 60 pages of projects including:
-building an anaglyph lens for your SLR
-base seperation formulas with a pocket slide-rule calculator
(included)
-FED camera modifications
-A simple slide bar
-Realist viewer to 7P conversion
-the XA-2 twin camera rig (XA-2x2)
-Nimslo modifications
-a high quality filmstrip previewer
-macro camera principals
-a Siamese camera based on the Argus C3 (the See-3D)
The projects are discussed at various levels. Most (including the
XA-2x2 rig) are in the form of extremely explicit step-by-step
instructions. Others (like the See-3D camera) are discussed in detail,
but not "step-by-step" per se. A few (mainly the macro chapter) are
discussed in principal only, laying out the basic approach and leaving
the execution to the reader.
The booklet is designed with the beginning hacker in mind. It's intent
is to get more people started in this area and serve as a source of
ideas, inspiration and confidence. I'm asking US$25 for the booklet
which includes shipping in North America.
Please Email for an address or if you have any questions.

PS - To those who already HAVE copies, I'd appreciate your thoughts on
it. I've gotten some feedback already from a newbie hacker who built
her own XA-2 rig (wireless version), but more is always better. If this
one is a success, I'm considering putting together a second collection
of simple projects. That would be some time coming though since I'm
only about 1/2-way through building the darn things myself. :)
