Then, while both cameras are still recording, take a still frame using the pocket wizard. When you’re ready, start both cameras recording video. Again, use fresh batteries.įirst, make sure both cameras are restored to the factory settings and in full “manual mode” with freshly installed firmware 2.0.8. – 3x Pocket Wizards Plus II with shutter sync cables (CM-N3-P), one tethered to each camera and one to control shutter release remotely. – Fresh AAA batteries in battery grip (power supplies may cause power flux) – 2x Canon F1.2 50mm L lenses (set to manual) – The 3D Film Factory’s 3D-BS MINI or INDIE (beam-splitter) RIG (depends on the needs of the project) – 2x Canon 5D Mark II’s (relatively same age & usage for consistency of shutter age) Clark suggests to start with, when building a 3D rig using Canon’s 5D Mark II: Clark has devised a simple, field-tested method for “syncing” (not true gen-locking – but close) the Canon 5D mark II DSLR cameras, and thus creating beautiful, aligned, “in-sync” 3D. Thanks to Peter Clark at Attic Studios, ingenuity has succeeded once again.
