Abstract
A direct view camera with a direct view lens is mounted to a support to obtain a direct view camera shot while a reflected view camera with a reflected view lens is mounted to the support to obtain a reflected view camera shot without use of a beamsplitter. Interaxial spacing between the direct view and reflected view cameras does not cause an overlap between a direct view active optical area of the beamsplitter that would be used by the direct view lens and a reflected view active optical area of the beamsplitter that would be used by the reflected view lens. A reflective planar mirror is positioned to reflect light from a surface of the reflective planar mirror to the reflected view lens while a transparent planar glass is positioned to allow light to pass substantially perpendicularly through the transparent planar glass to the direct view lens.
