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.

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.)*. 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.
Two powerful trigger modes

USShort answer: We love the TriggerBoxes! It has allowed us to simplify and gain better control over configuration, testing, and shooting in our multi-camera, multi-monolight photogrammetry setup. Intervalometer feature request: Having a built-in intervalometer in the TriggerBox is tremendously useful. However, we need control over intervals of less than 1 second, e.g., increments between 0.5 and 1.0 second). In order to stop the motion of a human subject on a rotating turntable in our full body scan photogrammetry setup, we must use an end-of-life Pocket Wizard MultiMax II to set an interval of 0.75 seconds to get the correct number of frames in one revolution. A built-in intervalometer controlled by the TriggerBoxController would be a great improvement. Providing this sub-second interval granularity for the TriggerBox would allow it to stay in sync with the sub-second capability of modern cameras 🙂
Hi Lenonard, Thank you so much for your kind review and for your feedback. We'll pass this on to the development team. Thanks, Luke
CACan't triggered the shutters at the exact time. I only have 3 Sony A7III.
