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.

FRI purchased the Trigger boxes to drive an array of 10 cameras, plus some studio flashes both indoor and outdoors. The boxes are easy to use and work reliably. A perfect buy. Programming the delay for the flashes is (fairly) easy as long as you manage to get the Java app running and recognizing the USB ports. This has been problematic on my newer macs. Windows came to the rescue. I wouldn't mind a Mac native version of the app, or even better, an iPhone or Android mobile app and a bluetooth link to the Trigger Box to make it easier to adjust the settings while on the move.
Hi Vincent, many thanks for taking the time to leave us some feedback. We're pleased to hear you were able to adapt the TriggerBoxes to your multi-camera array. Regarding the compatibility of TriggerBox Controller software on Mac, with Apple's recent OS update which dropped 32-bit application support, many specialised software (including ours) are no longer supported. However, you can still use TriggerBox Controller software on macOS pre-Catalina (10.15). Thanks - Albert
