The ESPER TriggerBox is perfect for any application that requires the accurate control of multiple camera arrays such as:


    

  • Photogrammetry
    • 

  • Bullet time and time slice
    • 

  • Photo booths
    • 

  • Stop motion animation
    • 

  • Animated photography
    • 

  • VFX
    • 

  • Imaging research

When the TriggerBox switch is green the delay between the input signal received and the outputs firing is 2µS (0.000002 seconds.)*

*Note that the shutter lag of most DSLR’s ranges from 0.04 to 0.150 seconds.

The TriggerBox has two modes of operation, When the mode switch is Green the TriggerBox functions as a straight trigger distribution unit. When the mode switch is Blue the TriggerBox can be programmed using the TriggerBoxController software. This allows individual outputs to be delayed, switched off and on and sequenced in up to 8 steps.

                            [content] => 
The TriggerBox comes bundled with our TriggerBoxController software, this allows the TriggerBox to be programmed to;


    

  • Fire the TriggerBox outputs over USB
    • 

  • Assign delays to outputs
    • 

  • Toggle outputs off and on
    • 

  • Sequence all output settings
    • 

  • Save settings to the TriggerBox for stand alone operation
    • 

  • Multi-camera intervalometer with exposure ramping
    • 



For control of camera settings, downloading images etc. you will need to use a third party software packages such as those provided by Breeze Systems, Kuvacode and Xangle.

Features & Functionality

Trigger multi camera setups

Precise and reliable. It’s the worlds most trusted multi-camera trigger. Fire all your cameras at once or at custom intervals. Used for photogrammetric 3D scanning and bullet-time photography. 

Designed for all multi-camera applications

The ESPER TriggerBox is perfect for any application that requires the accurate control of multiple camera arrays such as:

  • Photogrammetry
  • Bullet time and time slice
  • Photo booths
  • Stop motion animation
  • Animated photography
  • VFX
  • Imaging research

Every camera precisely synchronised

When the TriggerBox switch is green the delay between the input signal received and the outputs firing is 2µS (0.000002 seconds.)*
*Note that the shutter lag of most DSLR’s ranges from 0.04 to 0.150 seconds.

Two powerful trigger modes

The TriggerBox has two modes of operation, When the mode switch is Green the TriggerBox functions as a straight trigger distribution unit. When the mode switch is Blue the TriggerBox can be programmed using the TriggerBoxController software. This allows individual outputs to be delayed, switched off and on and sequenced in up to 8 steps.

TriggerBox Controller software

The TriggerBox comes bundled with our TriggerBoxController software, this allows the TriggerBox to be programmed to;

  • Fire the TriggerBox outputs over USB
  • Assign delays to outputs
  • Toggle outputs off and on
  • Sequence all output settings
  • Save settings to the TriggerBox for stand alone operation
  • Multi-camera intervalometer with exposure ramping

For control of camera settings, downloading images etc. you will need to use a third party software packages such as those provided by Breeze Systems, Kuvacode and Xangle.

Great triggers and very simple to use

Very happy with the Esper Trigger Boxes, we use several units in chain and with the software is very easy to setup. We use them for cameras & flashes with the miliseconds delays needed to better syncronize them and have great results. 100% recommended!

Works as expected

Got the trigger box up and running in less than 10 minutes,firing all 6 dslr at the same time as advertised. I managed to make a portable photogrammetry rig using a powerbank as the shutter trigger power supply which was a nice and unexpected bonus. Great product,great service and ill definitely be a returning costumer.
