Incidentally, for non-macro stereo capture, I've often done things with pairs of cameras, especially CHDK-supported Canon PowerShots. That makes it easy to exactly match the typical human baseline... as I did in:

Now I understand what you meant regarding "vignetting". I am not a native English speaker, so I have to follow some of the purely technical details more closely.

I chose to make the diameter of the holes 5mm in the first place to get more depth in the image. The result is quite good in terms of depth of field.

Your 3D-printed stereo rig is very well made. Congratulations!

It's on thingiverse if you want to make one: A4K2: Stereo Capture rig for Canon A4000 .

Really easy print, just a pain to put the battery, regulator, switch, and USB sockets in the handle. I'd use a USB battery if doing it now, but they weren't common in 2014.

Right now I'm more interested in making an optical device that mounts the two vertically rotated 3D images on the sensor halves, in Top/Bottom format instead of SBS.
This allows more advantageous storage of "landscape" formats, like the device made a long time ago by Lawrence Heyda Studios .
Do you have an idea about this system?

I don't like flat mirrors for optical systems. Otherwise, this stuff's pretty easy to do.
