these are usually small two-person aeroplanes that are flying overhead) so I'll have to come up with a solution to the momentary lack of preview when using the precision sync.
You are trying to do this in stereo ?
If so, you will need two people standing some metres apart using cameras that are synchronised.
The beta version of SDM 1.86 can certainly do that.
However, with no reference background you will not get much of a 3D effect.
How difficult do you think it might it be to implement the synced video in this thread? Does any code already exist or will I have to write something from scratch?
Well, the original code that 'karmaschinken' claimed he would study (but never reported back on) has changed completely.
In fact, I took some test movies a few days ago but have not had time to process them yet.
The original code required an opto sensor to be fixed over the left camera.
The code being tested uses an inexpensive microcontroller instead.
I am working my way through the SDM features, changing code or even devising completely new ways of doing certain functions.
In addition, new documentation is required, it is all very time consuming and I can only devote a limited amount of time, I am too busy doing photography.
On the topic of zoom, would anyone know of any other ways to sync the zoom other than simply checking the propcase (which only updates when zooming is finished) or simulating the zoom buttons (which won't be very accurate)?
Well, with an SDM rig you just use the usb switch.
I guess your rig could simulate the same method.
