###Introduction###

* How this works, why we do it
* What it's useful for
* How far we've gotten
* Things to try and/or improve

###Construction###

* [Assemble the camera bracket](/wiki/t-bracket-dual-camera-rig)
  * Putting the T rig inside a big soda bottle for protection?
  * Attaching the timer/battery? This will evolve as soon as people try to use the rig.  It would be good to avoid damaging crashes by new users.
  * Use the camera strap as a safety tether.
* **Simple:** - just trigger cameras with rubber bands
* **Advanced:** [Assemble the electronics](/wiki/dual-camera-kit-electronics)
  * Assembling the 555 timer circuit
  * Preparing USB cables
  * Preparing batteries and battery holders
* [Install and configure the software](/wiki/dual-camera-kit-software)
  * Choosing an SD card and loading the software
  * Configuring the camera menus

###Using your kit###

* Do a [test flight](/wiki/dual-camera-kit-test-flight)

###Processing the images###

* Link to Photoshop/Gimp technique
* Video screencast of MapKnitter technique
* Brainstorm better techniques

###Interpretation###

* This will be written last
