    So the benefit of the Polaris is more about ease-of-use and automating the focus stack process (assuming your camera/lens supports it)? This is still very much achievable without the Polaris, just more work, correct? Aren't the newest cameras equipped with focus stacking modes? I am new to photography so actually curious why this device might be worth buying. I understand it has many other features.

    @michaelmckeag960 Год назад

    I was inspired to test auto leveling to see if now that the astro accessory axis of rotation is vertical one could shoot a panorama through rotation of the astro head. Nope. This capability would be useful for landscape panoramas. Without this capability why bother with auto leveling a Polaris? In fact why bother burdening your tripod with the Polaris at all if all you are doing is single shots? Executing a pro mode landscape panorama with auto leveling could actually be useful, and convenient: rotate to the start and end points, enter the lens focal length, sensor size, orientation, and desired overlap, and press start. Include executing an HDR exposure bracket at each position as an option to take even greater advantage of automation.

    • @ShivVermaphotography
      @ShivVermaphotography Год назад

      Hi, I am not quite sure of your comment. Yes, auto leveling is only possible with the astro module, but you do not need the Polaris to do panoramas except if you want it automated. Thanks for watching. Appreciated.

    • @michaelmckeag960
      @michaelmckeag960 Год назад

      @@ShivVermaphotography Indeed, manually shooting panoramas is a straightforward process, and the Benro Polaris offers two modes for automating the process. What puzzles me is of what use is auto-leveling? Once leveled the remaining functionality is so limited as to be trivial. One possibility that could be useful is a third automated panorama mode that pans the now leveled astro head. I’ve suggested this in an email to Benro (taking advantage of an established dialogue).

    Well, you’ve inspired me to try focus stacking with the Benro Polaris. No clear sky even in the long range forecast so mastering BP for tracked nightscape panos will have to be set aside anyway. I do still have a functional copy of qDslrDashboard on my iPad which I’ve used quite satisfactorily for lens focused stacking.
