Is there some sort of tripod/stand device that would all me to mount two Nikon D800 right next to each other. I want to fire two cameras in sequence, right next to each other. I'm sort of just learning how to fire two cameras in sequence today and right now I'm just using two different tripods.

Two Tripods with a Two By Four, Nail in your Two Cameras to the Two By Four...Test Away.

OR a Two Fence Post...side by side will do.

Precise and ridiculously well made, but you'll pay for it.

Just buy a large enough cheeseplate and attach it to anything you want.

Or, if you know anyone with a metal shop, just make a cheeseplate for cheap.

Leitz, Leica, use to have a special cable release to triggering two SLMots (back in the days
of 3 FPS) so that sports photographers could get 6 FPS.  I've not seen one of those cables
in decades, but NIKON might have one or know who could splice together two off the shelf
cords to make it work.
