I have included file sizes in the image links. Please take a moment to check these sizes before you begin downloading images for viewing. Several of the JPS files are very large and will be painful to download over a modem link. The images are presented in cross-eye
and anaglyph format. If you prefer a different format or size, please give
the Stereoscope applet a try. |

Usable Connectors
In version one, I ended up with three bare wires sticking out of the back of the camera. I decided that an 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo jack was just what was needed here. The stereo jack is easy to buy at Radio Shack, it is secure, and small.
An 1/8" stereo jack may look like a small device when it's on the end of
your headphone cable, but sitting next to a small digital camera with tiny
controls, it looks huge. Still, I couldn't think of any other commercially
available three conductor connector, so for version one, that's what I used.
I was never able to pr
ovide adequate strain relief, and I was always afraid I
was going to rip the jacks off the end of the cables.
For version two, I reversed the connectors and hung the 1/8" stereo plugs on the backs of the cameras. Two pairs of cheap head phones cost me $3 from Ben Franklin. These provided me with some very flexible four conductor cabling with pre-attached, molded right angle plugs. It was much cheaper, neater, and easier than trying to assemble the camera "tail" from Radio Shack parts.
