Best action Helmet camera?

What distance should the lenses be around if making a homemade 3D camera?

  • I am thinking of making my own 3D camera, and will use red/blue glasses. I am going to buy two Muvi Micro Clone type camera, and want to know what distance apart the two lenses should be for the best quality video? My plan is to use the camera as an action camera, to record 3D cycling videos mounted on a bicycle helmet. Anyone got any advice :) Thanks!!

  • Answer:

    I have to respectfully disagree with lare on that one - you can do 3D without synchronised shutters. Have a look at Suzi Perry's 3D video, recorded for The Gadget Show. This was shot with a pair of Canon 550Ds. I seem to remember the program mentioned all sorts of potential problems, but the results were much better than expected. From what I remember, the distance between the lenses wasn't critical, but they had to be aligned so that the images seemed to converge at the right distance. I don't remember what the right distance was though - sorry!

you can't use 2 cameras unless they can be sychronized with each other. the cheapest cameras i know of with genlock cost over $8k. what you need is one good camera with a prism that allows side by side lenses.
