Re: Making Cross-Eyed 3D with One Camera

I bought a cheap slide and took off the screw drive so it would slide freely and quickly when the brake was released. A simple Bulldog clip controls how far the slide moves and is easy and quick to adjust for normal or hyper stereo. The slide is the same as this one.

I mounted a Stroboframe 300-115 Vertaflip on the slide then my Canon 7D camera on the Vertaflip. This lets me shoot cha cha 3D in either landscape or portrait mode.

With StereoPhoto Maker I save the 3D images as cross eyed JPGs for no-glasses viewing. The free FastStone Image Viewer works well for displaying the cross eyed image pairs.

I save them to my smart phone as left/right stereo pairs and place the phone in an old stereo viewer. There is a cheap cardboard stereo viewer available.

This one from Fuji would be a lot more durable than cardboard, and is very reasonably priced.
