I am trying to control multiple cameras so that they all trigger simultaneously, or as near as possible. Is there a good way of doing this?
I have managed to get hold of a pair of Sony Alpha 77 MkII cameras, so I have a variety of interfaces to choose from...
Our current idea is to buy a couple of cheap 3-pin remote cables, and hack them together so that a single button closes the contacts on both cameras, or to use a wireless remote with both receivers set to the same channel - however I don't know if any 3rd-party wireless remotes are sufficiently reliable? I've looked at the Sony USB software, but that doesn't seem to have any means of controlling more than one camera, and requires having a PC/laptop on location.
I can set up the cameras beforehand, so it is just triggering the shutter that I need to control.
Any ideas or clever suggestions? I'm happy to chop up cheap cables and recombine them...
