Benro Connect vs ONNOA

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.

Turn your camera into a timelapse machine. The ONNOA SmartTimer is a small intervalometer and remote shutter release for your camera. This app controls it: set up a timelapse, a long exposure or a remote shot in seconds, then follow every run live on your phone. Requires the ONNOA SmartTimer, a small device that attaches to your camera, sold separately at onnoa.de. The app does not work without it. TIMELAPSE • Linear Timelapse: a fixed interval for any number of shots, combined into a video afterwards. • Ramped Timelapse: place ramping points on a curve and the SmartTimer changes the interval along it. Speed your timelapse up or slow it down, or give your camera more time as night falls. LONG EXPOSURES • Bulb Mode: exposures from seconds to hours, beyond your camera's 30-second limit. For star trails, light painting or silky water. • Bulb Ramping: the bulb time follows a curve too, getting longer as the light fades, for day-to-night timelapses. • Exposure Calculator: enter a test exposure and your ND filter, and the app works out the bulb time for you. REMOTE TRIGGER • Fire your camera from up to 100 m away. • Tap to Shoot, Press and Hold, Single Shot and Sequence: shoot the instant it happens, or set a delay or a series without touching the camera. ADVANCED TRIGGERS (SmartTimer Pro Lightning) • Lightning Trigger: Capture lightning. Never miss a strike. • Laser Trigger: Break the beam. Never miss the moment again. The camera fires the moment something crosses the laser beam, ideal for wildlife and high-speed shots. WIRELESS OR BY CABLE • The SmartTimer connects to Sony, Canon and Nikon cameras over Bluetooth: pick yours from the list and connect. Ricoh GR cameras are supported in beta. • Every other camera with a remote port works by cable. BUILT FOR THE OUTDOORS • Up to 150 hours of battery life. • Weather-resistant from −30 °C to +50 °C. • Sunrise and sunset times for where you are. • Presets: prepare your settings before you reach the location. • Firmware updates straight from the app. Stop making boring timelapses.
