I plan on doing amateur 3d for my youtube channel which will get off the ground soon. It might make up a total of 20% of my work but I'm really interested in it.
My first problem is set up, I know 2.5" from the center of each lens. For micro film it needs to be closer. There doesn't seam to be a guide of any kind showing basic set ups. I imagine it's taught in film school, which I can't attend right now. If any one knows of a guild please link it. Or an Amazon book.
My main question is this: I am thinking about getting 2 of ?url? http://www.rueducommerce.fr/Photo-Video-Numerique/Camescope/Camescopes-Carte-Memoire-Haute-Definition/AIPTEK/2847944-Camescope-numerique-Haute-definition-1080p-a-Carte-SD-SDHC-AIPTEK-DVAHDZ700.htm?/url?
They are 1480X1080, not the real full HD advertised but still not bad. 5X optical and descent night performance. I was going to go with the Toshiba H20 but it seams to have very poor night performance and focusing issues.
The viewfinders are 3", which will be a problem, but I can have the right one open partially as to not interfere with the left camera. So, does this seam to be a good low budget set up for HD 3D? Primary use is youtube with maybe some other HD work going on.
I want to be able to mount them on a helmet for 3D motorcycle shots and other sports like skiing and paragliding. I live in an Alpine area that has lots of extreme sports and would love to get some in 3D.
If any one has hardware or practical advice please post it, I am new to amateur film making but hope to make it a part of my livelihood soon.

This is a fine camera for YouTube.
When you need to shoot macro you can adjust the cameras so
they are closer together. Try 2" from the center of each lens and
2.5" from the center of each lens and see which looks best to
you. Then you will know the exact distance. Spending about an
hour (or even two) trying different distances will save you the
years you may have spent in film school. You don't really need
a guide or a link or a book. You need a few hours of your time
to try different set ups.

Thank you for the advice! ?:D?
My main concerns with this is not being able to manually focus. Of coarse that isn't offered in this type of camcorder in this price range at all. I won't be doing any of zooming shots or a lot of pans and tilts. I will be pre-planning my shots, except for the action shots, most of my shots should be from a fixed zoom and unmoving position. I do want to do a diy steadicam but auto focus should be enough for that.
Any one recommend a monopod with a nice smooth ball joint gimbal for a steadicam base?
