Whether you want to arrange 5, 6 or more cameras to make a 360 degree panorama
like Google Street View, or line up 50 cameras to make a bullet time slice "Matrix" video,
we can help you.
Cam-Do cables operate the PWR/Mode button of the GoPro HD Hero, HD Hero 2 and White Hero 3 cameras.
When used with the Hero 3 Black, it is possible to turn the cameras on together
and execute a Super One Button Mode script which
takes a photo or short video and then turns the camera off.
The cameras are isolated to protect the electronics of the camera and to make it easier
to configure each camera without having to unplug the cable.
To use these cables, the GoPro camera must be set up in One Button Mode so that starting
the camera starts the capture of video or still photos automatically.
The control cables turn the camera on and off as if you were pressing the
power button on all the cameras at the same time.
Standard Pentapus
The standard 5 camera Pentapus includes connectors for 5 cameras with cables to a central
hub. These connectors fit inside the GoPro extended back doors (such as the ones that come with the LCD display or battery BacPac), or a hole can be cut in the skeleton back door for cable access.
A common cable goes from the hub to a stereo jack for use with the included remote control button. The distance from the hub to the remote control can be extended using easily found stereo audio
extension cables.
Cameras can be lined up for time slice video or mounted in a circle for a 360 degree panorama.
Cam-Do can provide custom cable assemblies for any number of cameras made to
order for your particular needs with wiring lengths cut to suit your installation.
The Pentapus cables come with a compatible
wired control button which plugs into the
jack on the cable harness.
The convenient button control
comes with a cable about 3 feet long.
It is also possible to use the pentapus with the
Wireless Remote, but as the wiring
is slightly different, it should be ordered at the
same time as the cable so the appropriate connectors can
be wired and tested together.
Custom Cable Assemblies
Bullet Time-Slice Cables by Cam-Do
Every user has their own special requirements and
we can help find the exact combination of cables,
connectors, and other components to meet your needs.
We have supplied the cables for GoPro Bullet Time-Slice arrays to filmmakers
all over the world. Array sizes have ranged from 20 cameras to 80 cameras with
the distance between cameras ranging from touching to 1 meter apart.
Our cables can be made with low profile small connectors which fit
inside the standard GoPro skeleton backs provided with the
LCD BacPac and the Battery BacPac. The wires are attached at right angles
so the cable will fit through the slots in the standard skeleton backs.
Cables can be made with a power connection for charging
all of the cameras at once, or for long shooting schedules.
Extra lightweight cables can be made for R/C helicopter mounting.
Bullet time slice setups can be as long as a football field, or
the cameras can be mounted touching each other for portable use.
The longest array we have made so far was 80 cameras. Perhaps
you need more. We can do that.
Bullet Time-Slice Trigger Cable
Tell us exactly what you want to do. Please be specific about:
how many cameras in your array?
which GoPro camera model you are using?
the distance between cameras (lens to lens)?
preferred length of cable to the trigger button?
is this for indoor or outdoor use?
when do you need it?
The more information you can provide,
the better we can create the solution you are looking for.

Most of our clients use the cables to start video recording at the same time using the camera's
ONE-BUTTON-MODE. They record a sound track for synchronization using
PluralEyes or similar software.
Cameras can be manually controlled or operated automatically using
our custom controller boards. Time lapse and wireless remote control
are options. It is even possible to control the cameras from a
computer application.
