What the thread found
- The Freestyle Rig is a stereoscopic steadicam rig that can accommodate two cameras for 3D shooting.
- A test shoot of this rig was conducted during a first division soccer broadcast in Germany using two Sony EX cameras.
- Test audiences responded positively to the 3D image quality from the soccer broadcast trial.
- Canon DSLRs are unsuitable for this rig because they lack genlock capability, which is essential for synchronized stereoscopic shooting.
- This rig was demonstrated at the BVE and BSC shows in the UK.
Depends on
- Limited documented user experience available at the time of discussion.
