$1k on hardware…garbage app

This really could be a huge deal. But you spend $1k on glitchy hardware and the company hasn’t updated firmware or app in over a year… pathetic!

Still lacking documentation and basic photography features

No documentation for the app. Only documentation is for the Benro Polaris and even then that’s only basic.

Lacks some basic photography functions like exposure bracketing.

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.

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!
