I am shooting 3D video's for a few months now, and it was going very well. But there was a big problem: the video camera holder. It was a piece of aluminum with some holes in it (6mm and 8mm 2.36" and 3.15"). I made some nice 3D video's with it, but it looked so very crap. And it was not easy to move the camera around. Now you think why should you move the camera? Well there is a good reason for it. Our eyes are able to see a 3D image, but look around you, your eyes only have a nice 3D view if the distance to the object is 1, 2 or maybe 3 meter(39.4", 78,7" or 118". Our eyes have a distance of about 6 or 7 cm (between 2.36" and 2.8").
That's the same problem with the normal 3D camera's you can buy in the shop for a lot of money. It works nice till 3 meters distance to the object. But then its over without zooming in.
To have the best 3D view you can have, you have to increase the distance between "your eyes" or the "camera lenses" .
Calculating the distance between them is very easy. For every 30 cm there should be one cm distance between the lenses. So 180cm (70") means the distance is 6 cm(2.36"). For 6 meter (236") it should be 20 cm (7.9") , for 9 meter (354") it should be 30 cm (11.8").
increasing the space between your eyes is a little bit difficult. But the for the camera's its also not easy. I searched all shops on the internet, there is no place to find a adjustable 3D video camera or photo camera for sale. Worst of all, believe it or not, it was even not on www.instructables.com. So there was only one solution, make one (good and cheap) and put it on instructables.
It is made for the little video camera from Kodak. of course you can use other ones, but be sure that you can control it with a remote. And these ones are even full HD. Without remote control it will be more difficult to have identical pictures or starting the movie at the same time. I am using the program "steromovie maker" its freeware on the internet. It supports all kind of colored glasses (red/blue, yellow/blue), interlaced and side-by-side.
Of course there are many solutions, but this program is so easy, freeware and works perfect, so why should you try something else. So are you ready to make your own perfect 3D movies or pictures? Lets start.

Of course the back and front with the homemade letters look very shitty. There is of course one solution for it!! That is the EPILOG LASER to make a nice and accured front. Thats why i sent this instructable in for winning a Epilog Laser cutter. A special instructable like this of course needs a nice front and back.
Thats why i hope to have a change on winning the compation.
Now on with the instructable.....

You can see some 3D mine here at Flickr. They are a little old.
I am a "virtual friend" of the Image3D author, I am the second name at "Acknowledgments". He is very friendly and his purpose is add to the program all features the user can need. So, you can write him via the web's Form.
I guess i wanted to input video's in that program, i think thats a little bit to much for a extra future. :)
Saludar, Edwin
These cheap Vivicam are old fashioned, but enough good for me.
My Z mounting does not allow to change the separation between the chambers, which would help a lot to take landscapes. The triggers are electrically connected by a wire.
The image is current, what you see is that I used during holidays with good results. I take this photo some minutes ago.
