POLARIS, A SMART ELECTRIC TRIPOD HEAD

Capturing a perfect night sky can be daunting. You usually need a long exposure to capture the brightness of stars, even on the clearest of nights. Also, because of the rotation of the earth, when you take pictures, the stars in pictures often show tailing or streaks. One solution was the equatorial mount that typically used by photographers. However, it could not rotate freely, and so severely limiting composition in hopes of getting a clearer image. Recently BenroPolaris has launched a campaign on Kickstarter for Polaris, which is a wireless, smart electric tripod head. This is good news for Photographers because Polaris enables you conveniently frame the perfect shooting angle with ease. Polaris can make night, landscape, and nature photography efficient and uncomplicated.

About Polaris, the company says:

By introducing Polaris to the world, we hope to dismantle the technical boundaries traditional photographic tripods currently face to a more progressive and intelligent stage.

Polaris works by using the inbuilt GPS, compass, and astromaps to move the head precisely to prevent tailing or streaks. This feature enables you to capture perfect shots of the Milky Way or any constellations. The inbuilt features also enable you to adjust your shooting angle whenever you want to. In order for you to frame your shot, the Polaris app uses Astro maps, AI, and the sensors in your mobile phone to make framing a shit easy. All you have to do is point your phone at the sky, move it around to see every star your camera could capture. Once you see the shot, press the shutter button, then Polaris will automatically rotate and begin capturing the area your phone was framing. Polaris features an inbuilt GPS, an accelerometer, and an electric compass. These features enable Polaris to get its latitude, longitude, and orientation data. With the data provided, the processor inside Polaris then calculates the rotation of the polar axis. You don’t have to carry out polar axis calibration due to this feature.
