Narrative:
After briefed the SID with the copilot on the ground; soon after takeoff runway 24; reaching 1500 ft as I start to make my turn to heading 280; copilot with SID charts in front of him; call my attention to not turn until the 4.5 DME; which it was not what it was briefed on the ground before takeoff; since he was reading the SID when he called to stop the turn and keep going straight on the runway heading; I did so; due to what I've got distracted in the intent to re-read as fast as I could the SID chart in front of me; and busted for 380 ft the published altitude of 1500 ft. Immediately before I could take any corrective action the departure control calls for altitude and heading to be on; which I corrected; I think even before he was half of the way on the instruction. Once on the ground at destination; I had a debriefing with my copilot making him realize this serious mistake. As captain; I do assume all responsibility on this incident and for what I could see on the TCAS there was no other aircraft in the area that could be affected for this misunderstanding.

IMMEDIATELY BEFORE I COULD TAKE ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION THE DEP CTL CALLS FOR ALT AND HDG TO BE ON; WHICH I CORRECTED; I THINK EVEN BEFORE HE WAS HALF OF THE WAY ON THE INSTRUCTION.
