A pair of Panasonic G7's is just too big to set up for normal 3D, the stereo base between two cameras would be too wide.
Even mounted vertically, the stereo base is too wide. ( I was going to crop the 4K image to (2160x2160)
The possible solution is a right angle scope. I could use one, or pair and have the two cameras set up in a "opposing" configuration for 3D video. Stay tuned!
The Viture glasses has breathed new life into my Lenovo Mirage Camera as VR180 files can be played on the glasses. Pretty nice. One still has to prepare the files with the VR180 studio app though.
Since I've never had a headset and Google Cardboard support was dropped from iOS, the Mirage has been a little used device in my toolbox.
Great 3D stereoscopic video viewing device. It plays almost every flavor of 3D on YouTube.
But most importantly, it natively plays the Spatial Videos shot with the iPhone 15 Pro.
I just received from China, the Viture Lite glasses after looooooong shipping time since I chose the free option.
The key selling feature since I have the iPhone 15 Pro is direct connection via USB-C and the ability to playback the native MV-HEVC Spatial Videos.
However, if that is the only goal, one could use the Spatialify app to play the spatial videos directly on the phone in Side By Side and freeview, or use a Stereo Lorgnette viewer.
The Viture has the Spacewalker app with a web browser which makes playing back the many flavors of 3D videos on YouTube easier such as untagged Side By Side videos or YouTube 3D (tagged with metadata).
Note: One needs manually engage the 3D mode on the glasses if one did not purchase the optional phone XR usb-c charging accessory. (Insert Mr. Crabs Money, Money sound clip here)
Waving the phone like a flashlight as a virtual remote and tapping within the built in browser takes getting used to. (Thankfully, you can use voice search from iOS instead of typing on the phone)
VR180 and 360 works, but one needs to buy the sixty dollar XR charging adapter(the accessory also alleviates constant presses on the button on the glasses) VR180 video was not in stereoscopic (as of this writing.).
The screen feels like a 60" screen from 6 feet away? The quality is okay, but imagine when 4K screens are cheaper and available for these things.
There is built in diopter adjustments on the glasses, but I have bad eyes so it is isn't perfect and not everything is razor sharp, but acceptable.
If I look at side by side 3D photos, I have to long press a button on the glasses itself and it will switch display modes.
Overall, I'm mostly pleased. I want to access 3D movies--but they have sketchy websites and the VUDU app or browser doesn't work. (VUDU should fix this.)
I assume I need to BUY the Viture Neckband that has a Chrome box thing along with the VUDU app, but I'm not spending anymore.
Tested an old Andrea Electronics USB Soundcard and a Roland CS-10EM with the iPhone 15 Pro. It works great! (Except one probably should put phone into airplane mode to minimize antenna interference).
I wanted to test minimal packaging configurations for recording ProRes on the iPhone 15 Pro.
One idea is to have a shoulder bag and a long USB C extender to the iPhone. The SSD and hub will reside in a pocket or shoulder bag.
So as long as you get the proper length and proper high quality cable. It seems to work.
I will test this out more soon!

I used it to see if the Windows version of StereoPhotoMaker runs better on Whisky then Wineskin.
Inspired by https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=3YB6OSwRXHl26pdR&v=8KeES5llh9I&feature=youtu.be
And it works well for me. (with a bit of fiddling)
I'm using it to run StereoPhotoMaker and Stereo Movie Maker and the Google Spatial Metadata Injector tool. (Some tweaking of the Wine Bottle configuration is maybe necessary depending on the Windows app you are trying to run.)
I'm loving the ProRes Log ability on the iPhone 15 Pro.
But this ONE Lut takes it to another level for me.
Paired with the BlackMagic Camera app on iOS and you got a Arri Alexa kind of color look from the iPhone 15 Pro.
Now, we just need something to make our work look like Roger Deakins.
