RRS Loc: Not sure

Does anybody know of a sturdy mounting bar that would allow me to mount two large DSLRs side by side? It would be fairly simple -- a bar I could mount to a tripod that would have two camera mounts built-in, one on each side. Preferably, the mounts would be somewhat adjustable for width, so I could move the cameras further apart or closer together. This would be used for both 3D photography and camera comparisons, and I might think of some other uses.
I've searched using every search term I could think of, even sent a question to the B&H staff (no response.) I found some things for GoPro cameras, but they wouldn't work for large cameras.
Any help or suggestions appreciated.

Go to RRS and see what they have or better yet give them a call Monday morning and it will be on the way the same day. Not cheap but damn well worth it. Tell them that "RRS" from the "Hog" told you to call. On second thought maybe you shouldn't tell them that, they may charge you double.

I have owned the Bogen 3153/Manfrotto 131DDB for over 30 years. I bought it to support 2 very heavy film cameras mounted on telescopes for an eclipse shot. It is rock solid.

Thanks again, Hoggers -- you came through in spades. I've ordered a couple of the less expensive ones, and have more options if neither of them work out.
