Benro Polaris Astro 3-Axis Head Summary

Arriving as an entirely new concept, the Benro Polaris Astro 3-Axis Head is the world’s first electric tripod head to feature an integrated camera interface controller. Polaris Astro not only allows you to adjust the composition of a photo, but offers intelligent features, allowing you to program the head and capture a series of photographs, track and take long exposures of stars, as well as create high resolution motion timelapse images.

Polaris offers a wireless connection so you can remotely control the head. You can also preview, review and download files via a dedicated app from virtually anywhere and the head only weighs 1.5kg so you can hike to distant shots without a huge weight penalty.

Benro Polaris Astro 3-Axis Head in More Detail

Polaris enables remote precision whether you’re adjusting a photo composition, or programming the geared head and camera to capture a series of photographs to create a motion timelapse. The head supports WiFi or Cellular connection and you can preview, review and download files from anywhere.

An intuitive app based pre-programming and electro-motion system allows you to customise your own shooting schedule or routine. Simply frame the shot by adjusting your pitch and pan angles, then check and input parameters such as ISO, aperture, shutter and more. Then Polaris takes care of shooting without the need to even snap the shutter.

Polaris is so smart that it analyses your shots and automatically dials in exposure values and sharpens details, which can save time by removing the need for image retouching, focus stacking and time-lapse.

Polaris is more than simply a remote tripod head, with high-precision brushless motors that provide control over micro adjustments to frame vertically and horizontally, in a similar way to a geared 3-way head. This allows anyone from beginner level to tune-in the perfect composition by adjusting the head via the app or manually using the physical knobs.

A built in GPS and compass help to determine celestial paths and adjust camera angles for you to shoot the perfect starry sky or hone in on a breathtaking timelapse of a stunning landscape during sunrise or sunset.

Polaris is made to endure harsh outdoor conditions with aluminium alloy and stainless steel. With an IPX6 waterproof level, Polaris resists water and dust even when it comes as a splash, light rain, or a heavy storm, so you can continue shooting whatever the weather.

A high-efficiency power supply system with low consumption ensures reliability and durability with up to 24 hours per on a single charge.

Polaris has a redundant onboard and swappable microSD card slot that ensures no images are lost from any shoot. It also enables the head to do some rapid editing for you while in the field. This intelligent electric tripod head can render Path-lapses, Panoramas and more, while quickly displaying previously shot images on your phone for unparalleled convenience and accuracy in the field.
