Benro Polaris Cables Demystified

The Benro Polaris is a fantastically compact motorized 2-axis (or 3-axis with astro mod) electric tripod head with a very active user community.

One of the biggest sources of user confusion is the cables. All of the cables connecting to the Benro Polaris use the USB-C connector, but none of them are actually valid USB-C standards-compliant cables.

TL;DR - Use the Official Benro Cables Exactly as Documented

During the past days, this great article by Sam Pruden has been making the rounds around the gamedev community. While the article provides an in-depth analysis, its a bit easy to miss the point and exert the wrong conclusions from it. As such, and in many cases, users unfamiliar with Godot internals have used it points such as following:

• Godot C# support is inefficient
• Godot API and binding system is designed around GDScript
• Godot is not production ready
