## Benro Connect Description
Benro Connect is designed to control the Polaris Smart Electric Tripod Head and Theta Smart Modules, delivering an uparalleled experience in long-distance photography.

[Polaris Smart Electric Tripod Head]
With the app connected to Polaris, you can remotely control the shooting angle and preview your shots in real-time on your mobile device via Wi-Fi or cellular networks, offering great flexibility. The app supports various programmable shooting modes such as time-lapse, panoramic shooting, and sunrise/sunset time-lapse. Additionally, when paired with the optional Astro kit, Polaris can be transformed into a professional equatorial mount, allowing you to easily capture stars using the GoTo feature and automatically track stars for long-exposure shots without star trails.

[Fine-Tuning and Remote Control]
By wirelessly connecting the app with Battery Module and Camera Control Module, you can not only fine-tune the leveling but also achieve precise remote camera control, including live view, parameter adjustments, and media file management, making the shooting process more efficient and flexible.

[Holy Grail Time-Lapse Shooting]
By wirelessly connecting the app with Battery Module, Camera Control and Optical Sensor Module, enabling real-time ambient light detection. The Camera Control Module can then combine sensor input with advanced algorithms to dynamically adjust exposure settings, ensuring smooth transitions from day to night (and vice versa) for Holy Grail time-lapse photography.

[Live Streaming]
By wirelessly connecting the app to Battery Module and GoLive Module, you can easily enable real-time live streaming.

## Benro Connect Reviews in United States

### *---- "Not worth the cost"
The hardware is top-notch, robust, and high quality. The software is terrible, and one-star alignment results in poor tracking. My comments are related to astrophotography use. Too expensive for the current user experience.
-- Pirone1234321, 2026-02-06

### *---- "App fails to connect to device"
I purchased a brand new Benro device. App doesn’t connect. It gets stuck in an infinite retry loop and never connects. Seriously disappointing that I haven’t even been able to use this once!
-- TJHooker33, 2024-10-17

### *---- "Astro kit broken"
Can no longer use Astro kit
-- d(￣ ￣) no problem, 2024-10-16

### *---- "Expensive and great hardware but an awful app"
This app and its capabilities renders the hardware useless. The alignment method is insufficient and it doesn’t work consistently. The UI is awful. The camera interface doesn’t function properly and overall makes this awesome hardware almost completely useless. The focusing is incredibly hard with the app and sometimes, I just align then disconnect the camera to focus and by some miracle able to take a few photos before something else goes wrong. If I knew about the horrible app experience, I would have never dropped $1200+ on the hardware.

Please fix this.

### *---- "Canon R5"
The concept and idea is great.  
But the equipment fails and does not connect to the App when “Cellular data” is “on”. 
When data is turned off, it connects only to the Benro device,  but after connecting all cables…the app does not connect to the live view on the camera. 
Canon R5
-- DLuis707, 2023-07-14

### ***-- "Still missing features"
It took a week for customer service to respond to a password reset request, so that wasn’t great. We are still missing 2 star alignment, which many Astro photographers believe would significantly improve the star tracking. Holy grail seems to work well so that is positive.
-- DCM3000, 2023-06-08

### *---- "100% Trash"
Congratulations, with your latest update my phone will no longer connect! Awesome Benro!
-- TWH -- The Tsunami, 2023-03-16

### *---- "Terrible"
Can’t connect to a7riii with iOS 16 without turning off cellular.  Once connected you can’t get the camera in live mode so you have no visual.  You can’t kill the app without resetting your phone.  Returned the Benro Polaris.  Nice try but it is far from a usable product.
-- cantor99, 2022-11-27

### *---- "Extremely frustrating"
Arrrrggggg
-- Jarky123, 2022-11-27

### ***** "Works poeroectly"
Useful
-- ddeirjgmgr, 2022-10-31
