Fotografie in Stereo

[Manualman]

Several years ago, I purchased a stereo bar, which is for mounting two camears on one tripod. Some years later, I learned that the only person making this has stopped production.

Today, out of curiosity, I did a search on Ebay and found several Chinese sellers offering them at ridiculously low prices.

Just for the fun of it... do you have a link? I'd be interested in how they look. ON the other hand: doing stereos isn't that important to me. For now I will have to be satisfied doing cha cha shots, because in addition to the stereo bar you will need another (preferably equal) camera, which isn't all that cheap. Maybe in 10-20 years, when I want to do action photos or videos of my grandkids :-).

This is the one(s) I bought. I have in mind moving subjects, pressing both shutter releases at the same time.You need 2 cameras and two reasonably-matched lenses (focal length) , with adapters, if necessary. It was the latter which delayed me, GAS now having prepared me.

Here are my original and the Chinese one.

The original was made by Jasper Engineering of Mountain View California (no longer available) length 255mm. It has a bubble for leveling.

Bush centering 227mm vs 230mm apart. Eye centering ca 80mm apart.

Sony A7r3 Rayfact 90mm on 45mm extension at f11 then f8, twin flash, ISO 200, hand held.


These were shot at slightly different angles. I rotated the pot, in relation to the flash guns, to get the two flowers in the same plane of principal focus for the f8.


There is a slight optical illusion from the pattern in the right flower on the first pair.

A superb selection of subjects.

I have the Focotar-2 50mm so now I am encouraged to use it more.
