The ESPER TriggerBox is the leading programmable multiple camera shutter controller. Each unit allows 6 cameras to be fired simultaneously or with programmed sequences and offsets. Multiple TriggerBoxes can be linked to trigger an infinite number of cameras.
When the TriggerBox switch is green the delay between the input signal received and the outputs firing is 2µS (0.000002 seconds.)*. ESPER TriggerBox guarantees reliable and absolute triggering precision over a USB connection.
*Note that the shutter lag of most DSLR’s ranges from 0.04 to 0.150 seconds.

Yes the TriggerBox can be used with any combination of compatible cameras.
The TriggerBox connects to cameras via their remote shutter release input socket.
The TriggerBox has 3.5mm jack sockets we can supply adaptor cables to most cameras.
Any flash / strobe unit that can be connected directly to a camera is safe to plug into the TriggerBox.
!!! Please be aware that some flashes and strobes operate at significantly higher voltages than the TriggerBox is designed to operate with. !!!
If you are unsure if your flash or strobe is compatible with the TriggerBox please contact us.
Yes! Use a 3.5mm stereo cable to connect the link socket of the first TriggerBox to the input socket of the next TriggerBox in the chain and continue down the line.
The TriggerBox can be fired from either a remote release plugged into its input (both in ALL Trigger and Smart Trigger modes) or a computer via USB connection (Smart Trigger mode only.)
