The BiClops (TM) is a dual-camera 3-D rig developed by Steve Hines for shooting 8-perf and 15-perf 65mm large-format film for Imax and Iwerks theaters.

    The BiClops(TM) dual-camera rig is a simple, rigid 3-D rig. Cameras attach securely.  Wide angle-to-telephoto lenses can be used. Interaxial and convergence adjustments are made manually.  The BiClops(TM) rig supports MSM-870 and MSM-9801 15/70 cameras.  Convergence settings are shown in a chart on the rig, or can be calculated with an available 3-D pocket computer.

    An optional 3-D Video Viewfinder, a 3-D video assist, is also available which provides valuable information when shooting 3D. Color monitors show objects floating off the screen, or breaking frame lines.
