Capable of controlling over 250 cameras, the BG-Commander provides a clean and uncluttered platform with 7 camera hot keys for your favorite devices and the capability to select other cameras by pressing and holding zero (0) for an extended selection makes this unit ideally suited for small to medium-scale productions.
