ASI Air - Benro Polaris Mount

Beneveo

Hello everyone. I am currently a Benro Polaris user (with a Sony A7III), and I find it a good and portable tool, however, I would like to continue growing in my astrophotography by purchasing an ASI camera, however, I see that ASI Air does not offer support for the Benro Polaris mount...could it exist in the future?

For now, if I want to buy the ASI camera, I figure I can line up the Benro Polaris with my A7III, start tracking, and then remove the Sony camera and put the ASI in...right?

It would be amazing to be able to do it all in one and not have to carry the A7iii.

Of course, you can already control certain things with the ASIAIR. This is also how I worked with my Fornax Lightrack II and Nikon DSLR. You just have to set by Mount to On Camera ST4.

This video will give you an idea of what is maybe possible for you.

Of course, this does not provide you with a control for your mount and autoguiding makes no sense with your mount. But you can make a good Polar Aligment for many mounts this way and control the DSLR or ZWO cameras.

Tech@ZWO Thanks, it would be amazing to be able to have a ZWO camera through ASI Air and with the Benro Polaris synced.
