Assuming four cameras.... If I were willing to set them up in a single line, rather than a rectangular array, the price of a chunk of aluminum and 4 1/4-20 bolts. To control them, I'd buy 4 wired remotes, and then wire all of the camera plugs in parallel with the same trigger switch. > > And how would you assure that all 4 cameras were simultaneously focused the > same distance? One way would be to focus one lens, note the value on the distance guide, then set the other four to the same point. Or, using auto focus, select the same object to focus on. > -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
