I've tested 5 x Nikon d3200s triggered via USB and got them all firing within a few hundredths of a second (as opposed to the 1/10 gap between each one that Breeze mentions) so I'd say that it depends on your intended usage.
If you're hoping to use flash it'll be critical that they are precisely in sync whereas if you are using constant light that tiny delay may be tolerable. Note: I have no idea if increasing the number of cameras beyond 5 will increase or affect the delay, it's reasonable to think that it would. Also note: Camera arrays are non-trivial, especially if you lack photographic/technical experience > On 12 Jun 2017, at 12:27, Farkas Péter <fap...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi! > > We used for our bullet time project an DIY trigger systems.
