3D Action Camera :)

Sooo, I was thinking that a 3D action camera could be a bit of a novelty! You can buy 3D camcorders...but these are all a few hundred quid so out of the question.

My idea, get 2 MD80s and build a mount which spaces them equally and correctly apart. (total cost, maybe £20).

Then use some sort of software to turn the two images into an actual 3D image....

Not sure how well it would actually work. I've ordered some red/blue 3d glasses from Amazon for £1.50 to watch some other videos on youtube made in this way.

Go for it.

Won't work as well as you think, and the quality of the cameras will really affect it. (Red/Cyan would work better)

yeah, that's why I've bought the glasses to see what it's actually like. It probably won't go ahead...although I've seen some MD80s for under a tenner with postage so might get one as a rear cam.
