SOME FREQUENT QUESTIONS

These are some of the most common questions I’ve received about this course:

Once you join the course, you’ll be able to access all the instructional videos and downloadable elements on our online platform. This platform was specifically designed for my courses, and it’s reliable and very easy to navigate. You just need a device with a screen and an internet connection.

This online course requires a single payment. After that, you’ll have lifetime access and be able to watch all the videos and tutorials at your own pace.

This course includes unlimited support. It doesn’t matter what you need or when you ask for help, I’ll be there.

This masterclass will help you from the moment you take the Benro Polaris out of the box until you want to push it to the limit. The materials cover everything, from the gear and setup to all the steps, tips, and problems you may encounter. 

The course includes lessons, tips, and troubleshooting for advanced users, especially when it comes to advanced multi-row panoramas, complex foregrounds, and many “hidden” BP secrets that I’m sure you haven’t heard about until now.

Also, remember that the more you expand tour BP knowledge, the more you will prevent failures in the field and increase the chances of success.

The first half of the course applies to any feature that you want to use with the Benro Polaris. The rest of the course is focused on the Astro functions of the device.

Most of the tips, best practices, and workarounds to fix problems apply to the Benro Polaris in general regardless of the function you use, so I’m sure you’ll find value whatever your purpose is with the BP.


The course is focused on the astropgotography capabilities of the Benro Polaris to capture wide-field astro images, from single shots and stacking to multirow tracked panoramas and foregrounds.

However, you can apply a considerable part of the content of the course to any type of astrophotography, including deep-sky.

Do you have any other questions?

excellent

Excellent course with Dan giving thorough explanations, and all the tips and tricks, to successfully use this slightly quirky and initially a bit intimidating tracker, that has become a fast fave for many. I also appreciated Dan's cheerful and encouraging teaching style and always answering people's questions.

Worth every cent.

Have really enjoyed this course. I heard bad things about the Polaris from fellow astro photographers. I knew being a technology driven device it would come with quirks. I found Dan's video on You Tube and it only made sense to me spend some money on private tuition (this course). This course is why ony after the second time using the Polaris I got my first 50 shot multi row Milky Way panorama.

On the Right 'Track'

To Dan Zafra - Benro Polaris Guru: I’ve lost track of how many hours I spent in the past year watching You Tube videos from other semi-disgruntled Polaris owners. I am delighted to have found the solutions to all Benro’s idiosyncrasies in your Masterclass. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. I hope Benro will advertise your class. If they do they’ll have a lot more satisfied customers.

The go-to solution to answer all your Benro Polaris questions

Like many other Benro Polaris users, I struggled with setup, configuring and using the Benro Polaris but after watching Dan's Benro Polaris masterclass, I can honestly say that it was a very worthwhile investment in self-learning and I haven't had any issues since. Presented in a straight forward and comprehensive manner. Do yourself a favour and buy the course.

Brilliant

Was an early adopter of the Polaris. Too early! Very quickly ran into all the connection problems, leading to frustration and abandonment. So it sat in a box until I found this course. Now I wouldn’t be without it. Thank you!

Converting the Benro Polaris from a "brick" into an "amazing tool" ...

I bought the BP through Kickstarter & never used it, as it's too complex to learn to operate. So I waited for a course like this to unlock the power. The wait was even longer than the BP Kickstarter delivery time, indicating it was not an easy task. Fortunately Dan succeeded in explaining this complex tool in a very easy to understand step-by-step tutorial. Amazing value! Thank you very much Dan!
