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.
The TriggerBox has two modes of operation, When the mode switch is Green the TriggerBox functions as a straight trigger distribution unit and controlled via a remote shutter release. 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.
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, and 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:
Breeze Systems – Software to control multiple Canon SLRs from a single PC running Windows. Designed for movie special effects such as the “bullet time”, stereo video capture, product shots and other specialist applications requiring multiple cameras. Offers excellent support and is licensed per number of cameras.
Kuvacode CaptureGRID – Multi-camera control software for tethered shooting, remote capture and advanced camera control. Widely used for photogrammetry applications. Supports all recent DSLR cameras from Canon and Nikon, as well as some cameras from the Sony Alpha range and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Annual subscription license per unlimited number of cameras.
Xangle Camera Server – A set of software created to run a complete multi-camera system: connect, control, trigger, calibrate, preview, publish, share. Compatible with most Canon entry-level DSLR’s and runs from a PC running Windows. Different license subscription packages available.

Hey Jacques, thank you for your kind comments! We're very pleased you're happy with our multi-camera trigger system and hope the TriggerBoxes serve you well. - Albert

Excellent product
I now have 12 trigger boxes running 60 cameras, setting my sights on 72 cameras. I used to build my own simple triggers when I had fewer than 20, but these are perfect, reliable and cheaper in the long run, plus the added benefit of expanded software control. Customer service has always been top notch. Can't say enough good, my next purchase is to migrate my AC to powercells.
Hi Andrew, many thanks for such a great review, it's always great to hear from a returning customer. We look forward to hearing from you again once you have upgraded your multi-camera setup to PowerBoxes! - Albert
