I went to Adolph Gasser today to rent a bunch of photography equipment. The guy there was extremely helpful and walked me through everything I needed. They even had a tripod attachment for mounting two cameras on one tripod. Here’s a summary of what I picked up:
- 2x Canon EOS1D bodies
- 2x 70-200mm F2.8 lenses
- 2x Kaiser Fluorescent 6 Tube Light kits
- Tripod, mount, extra bulbs
I opted to go with continuous lighting since syncing the two cameras would be difficult aside from syncing them to a strobe light kit. The Kaiser lights actually turned out to be great and put out fairly white light once they warmed up. Here’s a few pics of the setup, arsenal, and my couch in the kitchen:
Hello! The attachment for two cameras is awsome! Do you know how can i make one of my own?

The mount I used was fairly sturdy because it needed to support two very heavy cameras (with lenses). I wouldn’t recommend making your own mount unless you can cut metal. I can’t seem to find it on the internet either. You might call http://www.gassers.com and find out what it’s called.
