Step 9: Connecting All <strong>the</strong> Cameras<br />

Make sure <strong>the</strong> cameras are loaded up with empty SD cards and if possible manually set <strong>the</strong> camera <strong>to</strong> start numbering files from 0. This will help tremendously in <strong>the</strong><br />

editing process when you are trying <strong>to</strong> piece all <strong>the</strong> footage back <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r.<br />

Check <strong>the</strong> settings on <strong>the</strong> cameras <strong>to</strong> ensure that <strong>the</strong>y are all powered on, set <strong>to</strong> bulb, w/ no zoom, and all have <strong>the</strong> same settings (eg. ISO, exposure, etc.). Plug in all of<br />

<strong>the</strong> remote cable releases in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> corresponding cameras via <strong>the</strong> usb connec<strong>to</strong>r and attach <strong>the</strong> camera release cables <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> control box. First connect <strong>the</strong> camera<br />

control conduc<strong>to</strong>r from each cable <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> corresponding screw-down terminal. Make sure when you are making <strong>the</strong> cables <strong>to</strong> use a label maker or tape and a sharpee <strong>to</strong><br />

label each cable and <strong>the</strong> screw-down terminal blocks if you intend <strong>to</strong> trigger each camera separately. Next attach <strong>the</strong> power bundle from all <strong>the</strong> release cables <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

power connec<strong>to</strong>r on <strong>the</strong> control box. Test <strong>the</strong> system by quickly triggering all <strong>the</strong> cameras <strong>to</strong> wake <strong>the</strong>m up and take a pho<strong>to</strong> with each camera individually <strong>to</strong> make sure<br />

<strong>the</strong>y are connected in order and properly functioning. Check each camera <strong>to</strong> make sure it is in <strong>the</strong> correct mode and has <strong>the</strong> proper bulb and lighting settings.<br />
