Element Technica, makers of excellent, incredibly useable accessories and mounting hardware for the Red One, has sold only 54 of their Quasar 3D Beamsplitter rigs since 2009. From what I've been able to ascertain, this is the most practical rig available for larger camera bodies in a Stereoscopic, beamsplitter configuration. If there's only 54 of them out there, then there's most likely even less qualified technicians who know how to correctly set them up and operate them. You get my drift? Want to be in demand?

What's in Store for 3D Tools at NAB
Just as 2009 marked the final phase of the DTV transition in America, 2010 will be known as the year that the 3D revolution began in earnest, partly thanks to "Avatar"'s spectacular box office performance. By the same token, it looks like 3D will be touted as the "next big thing" at the NAB Show. Despite a sluggish economy, the launch of 3DTV by ESPN, Discovery, DirecTV and Europe's BSkyB is pushing the 3DTV train down the track and possibly creating a temporary seller's market for 3D content much as existed for HD programming in the early years of the HD revolution. Hence, it behooves pioneering producers to scour the NAB Show for 3D production tools... | Read more >>

3D movie-making has traditionally been a big-budget production, requiring twice as many cameras and twice as much film and data as 2D productions. Today, however, the development of technologies including Red Digital Cinema Red One cameras and Element Technica 3D camera rigs have enabled high-quality 3D production on smaller budgets than those of the 3D B movies of 1950s. | Read more >>
