I've checked and found that apparently, Sony PlayMemories Mobile ver.5.2 smartphone apppication also has this "Multi Camera Control" feature, so (as far as i understand) you can control two DSC-QX30 or ILC-QX1 with this smartphone app rather than LVR2: http://support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/www/disoft/int/playmemories-mobile/en/multi/index.html

Rationale: with QX10 or QX100, the camera is a WiFi hotspot, to which you connect your smartphone or LVR device - it is only possible to connect to a single WiFi hotspot at a time. With QX30 or QX1, they have reversed it: the cameras connect through WiFi to the hotspot on your smartphone or LVR, making it possible to have multiple cameras connected simultaneously.

So, in short, it looks like QX30 and QX1 _can_ be triggered at the same time from the available application/LVR, but QX10 and QX100 can not (i mean not from a single smartphone/LVR).

The good thing is that QX1 also has a decent sensor, and the level of device compactness only depends on the lenses you attach to QX1...

Still not sure if the "multi camera control" Means they are in perfect sync. 
If it is just a millisecond then we are talking about a perfect 3d system.
Two QX1 with lens will not be very compact of course. More like a pair of binoculars but will probably fit i a small dslr bag.
