STEREO PHOTO SLIDE BARS
| A Slide Bar enables you to take
a pair of photos for stereo viewing, of still life scenes, with a single
camera. If you are new to 3D-Photography, I recommend the well written and
easy to understand book "Photographing in 3D" by David Burder FRPS &
Pat Whitehouse FRPS. It explains all the basic 3D photo procedures and is
beautifully illustrated with lots of colorful 3D photos. It is listed in
the "Reel 3-D" catalog.
The Slide Bar is attached mounted on a tripod. The Roller Block is attached to your camera, then slipped onto the Bar. A pair of photos is taken, one on the left of center, one on the right. After processing, the slides are viewed using any of the hand-held viewers or projector set-ups that will take regular 2"x2" slides or hand mounted full-frame slides. We offer Slide bars in two convenient lengths: 8" (20.32 cm) and 16" (40.64 cm). A special Single Vertical Mount is available to mount cameras vertically instead of horizontally. Slide Bars for Medium Format, Large SLR's and Heavy Duty Work are Now available in the following lengths: 18" - 28" - 38" with Twin Roller Blocks, Bubble Levels and End Safety Stops. |
The 8" (20.32 cm) Slide Bar is compact and fits
easily into your camera bag. The roller block and bar are designed with color
coded indent positioning, at center and three positions each side of center:
| Color | Shift | Format | Approx.
Subject Distance |
| Yellow | ¼" (6.35 mm) L & R | Macro | 1 Foot (30 cm) |
| Green | ¾" (19.05 mm) L & R | Close-Up | 4 Feet (120 cm) |
| Red | 1¼" (31.75 mm) L & R | Scenes-Normal | 6 Ft. (180 cm) - Infinity |
The shift distances are based on a "Rule of Thumb"
of 30:1. Total left-right travel on the bar is 4½" (114.3 mm). The block
is removable and has a thumb screw lock for easy action.
Only $79.00 (plus S&H) |
The 16" (40.64 cm) Slide Bar can be used with one
or two Roller Blocks, for single still life or twin camera live action stereo
photography. The Bar has engraved lines for the Block center alignment and lines
1¼" (31.75 mm) each side of the Block position, to be used as reference
points to set the Adjustable Sliding Stops at your desired spacing. The Blocks
and moveable Sliding Stops are removable for camera mounting. They are also
equipped with soft tipped Thumb Screw Locks for steady action. A Bubble Level
is inset into the Bar and the Bar is equipped with spring loaded Safety Stop
Buttons on each end so that your camera won't accidentally roll of the Bar.
The Bars also make a great focusing rail for macro photography.
