Hi,
From 2 years, Am using 12 v100r2 cameras with default lens.
I have been always used them for single character shots & it is very fine till now.
Now its time to increase my volume & also to shoot double character shots.
I am having a floor with dimensions 20 X 20 X 10(lbh in feets).
Am thinking of buying 4 more cameras, so that I will be having total 16 cameras and also am thinking to buy 3.5 mm lenses for all 16 cameras.
So please tell me what is the best layout for 16 v100r2 cameras to shoot double character in greater volume?

If it is not sounds good then suggest me, what are the best lens & to what number should I upgrade my cameras count to get the best volume with double character shots?

Thanks

Hi Kraze,

You'll probably want to mount all of your cameras in landscape (relating to the imager, which means the case is in portrait), equidistant from each other, with one in each corner and 3 on the sides. If you switch to all 3.5mm lenses, you should get a larger capture volume, but you'll need to make sure and focus the lenses properly. For assistance, see this video:
