A type of photograph which has a photographic unit consisting of three wide-angle single-lens cameras.

The concept here is three-camera aerial photography bundled into one unit. A trimetrogon setup places three wide-angle cameras—typically with distinct angles (left oblique, vertical, right oblique)—on a single mounting to capture complementary views of the terrain at once. The result is a trimetrogon photograph, which provides broad coverage and multiple perspectives useful for mapping and stereo interpretation. The other terms describe hardware or components (a camera body, a film magazine, or a lens mounting cone) and do not name a three-camera aerial photograph.
