New Accessories for the
Panasonic HDC-Z10000!
Now you can vary your techniques
to achieve spectacular results!
This Stereo Base Extender (SBE) for the Panasonic Z10000 helps you to produce amazing 3D images of more distant subjects by maintaining accurate depth portrayal when you use longer than normal focal lengths. It is especially useful for capturing the action in sporting events, getting up close at concerts, or shooting wildlife while maintaining your distance. Anytime you want to get a close look at your subject without getting too close to it.
The Panasonic Z10000 allows you to “zoom in” increasing the scale of "X" and "Y" up to a factor of six (6X Zoom). Now, using the Cyclopital3D Stereo Base Extender, you can also increase the scale in the "Z" dimension too! The SBE makes your subjects appear four times closer than they actually are; if you also zoom to make them four times bigger, then the footage looks like you have moved to a position four times closer to your subject.
Using the SBE with lesser values of zoom will add depth to the scene, but the expanded scale in Z can also make the world appear somewhat “miniaturized.” Zooming in without the base extender will make the world look “bigger,” but also “flatter” with less depth, particularly in the subjects themselves. Taken to extreme zooming without increasing the stereo base can cause “card-boarding,” where the subjects do not show the “roundness” one sees in the real world, instead subjects may look like they are painted on cardboard cutouts.
Errors in the scale of X and Y (errors in the aspect ratio) of an image are clearly visible (and often “disturbing”) with less than a 20% difference in the scale of X vs. Y. Fortunately, our sensitivity to scale errors in the Z dimension is much more “forgiving”. However, as the error in the scale of Z approaches 200% the “artifacts” mentioned above (miniaturization and card-boarding) become more and more apparent. Having a Z-scale to “play with” is the miracle of 3D cinematography. The SBE gives you an important and much needed tool to address the creative opportunities of 3D depth and opens up a whole new world possibilities!
Event Broadcasters and Film-makers will quickly discover this Stereo Base Extender to be an indispensable addition to their tool kits. This professional-grade 3D accessory significantly compliments the Panasonic Z10000 camcorder by adding a greater dimension of possibilities.
The Panasonic Z10000 lenses have a fixed spacing of 41mm apart, making it impossible to capture high quality 3D video as the distance between the camera and the subject increases. Using perfectly aligned, high quality front surface mirrors, the Stereo Base Extender almost quadruples the lens spacing to 164mm while maintaining an optimal range of parallax adjustment.
Optimal depth portrayal is a major key to achieving fantastic results with 3D film and video and the Cyclopital3D Stereo Base Extender further enables professionals to reach their goals.

- Easily attaches to the tripod mount of the camcorder using a standard 15mm rod mount system that is included
- Extends stereo base from 41mm to 164mm
- Barska grip included for easier handling when not mounted on a tripod

Every serious filmmaker and photographer understands the benefits of using Polarizers and creative Filters. The Cyclopital3D Filter/Close-up Adapter (FCA) is also perfect for documentaries and close-up interviews! Most of the optional attachments function the same way in a 3D environment as they do in 2D cinematography, with the exception of close-up lenses, which are fundamentally different.
In 3D cinematography, the close-up lens allows the camera to achieve convergence on the subject closer than what is possible without the additional close-up lens. It also increases the common image seen by both lenses, thus reducing the amount of image loss commonly experienced in 3D close-up photography and film-making. For close-up lenses an 86mm lens ring is recommended, for filters a 95mm ring is recommended.
