I've recently been working on a solution to this problem. I built a device that can control a 13-camera array to do bullet time, as well as genuine simultaneous due to how I set up the circuit. I also built an iPhone app to control the device remotely. I built a really quick website with some information, but I also work full time so it's a work in progress: https://shutterdeck.com

Excuse me, but how can you claim "microsecond accuracy"? Conventional cameras cannot trigger that accurately even if you make the wired remote connections at the exact same nanosecond. I'm assuming you are using the 3-wire remote, right?

I am looking for test users who can give me feedback on it, and I'd be happy to let you try it. Also happy to answer additional questions about it here.

Don't have many cameras supporting the 3-wire remote any more. Have dozens of Canon PowerShots that can trigger using detection of 5V on the USB connector....
