Probably as a safety. Just incase one breaks they have two more running. Think of the time wasted if you had to debug the camera just to get the shot. There’s a whole crew working on set and if you’re down for even a few minutes, that could translate to hours lost as the schedule gets backed up. They could also be shooting different camera angles or for 3D.
