This only works with some cameras, that have a separate port for a remote trigger, (that's not already occupied by the Unleashed) and that also tell the Unleashed when the shutter closes.

You'll then need to select the EXT option for Interval in the Holy Grail screen, which allows the external trigger (your motion control) to trigger the camera, and the Unleashed will only do the Holy Grail calculations.

On Nikon cameras it would be possible to create Y-cable to allow triggering as well as USB support, but we don't offer this at the moment.

I hope this helps
