Introducing Vixen Polarie U

The Vixen Polarie U is an ultra-compact motorized star tracker, specially designed for wide-field astrophotography, nightscapes and time-lapse. Weighing in at a featherweight 575 g (without batteries) and with minimalist dimensions (88.5 x 72 x 110.5 mm), its lens-like shape makes it an ideal travel companion.

Key features

  • Versatile tracking modes :
    • Star-Scape (1/2 sidereal speed) for blur-free merging of terrestrial landscapes and starry skies.
    • Sidereal speed for long exposures of the Milky Way or nebulae.
    • Solar/lunar tracking adapted to eclipses.
    • Customized mode via smartphone app (speed and interval settings).
    • Connected control: Wi-Fi control via app (iOS/Android), time-lapse management, intervalometer and ST-4 port for external autoguiding (RA only).
  • Scalable load capacity :
    • 2.5 kg standard (wide-angle lenses).
    • 6.5 kg with accessories (multi-purpose mounting block + DD rail).
    • 10 kg in horizontal time-lapse mode (heavy equipment).
  • Flexible power supply :
    • 4 AA batteries (7h at 20°C) or USB Type-C (power bank compatible).
  • Integrated elements :
    • Spirit level
    • Directional scale (time-lapses)
    • Sighting tube for approximate polar alignment (northern hemisphere)
    • Shutter release (2.5 mm) and USB-C ports

Optional accessories

  • POLARIE Multi Mounting Block : Increases load capacity to 6.5 kg, suitable for telephoto lenses or small telescopes.
  • Dovetail Slide Bar DD : Combined with the multi-purpose block, it balances heavy loads and facilitates adjustments.
  • PF-L II polar viewfinder : Allows precise polar alignment for long focal lengths, requiring the Polar Scope Arm Bracket.
  • Quick Release Clamp : Arca Swiss-compatible for quick attachment to standard rails.
  • DX Polar Fine-Tuning Unit : Micrometric azimuth (-30° to +90°) and altitude adjustments for optimum framing.
  • External battery (recommended) : Extended USB-C power supply via power bank (e.g. PowerTank), ideal for long nights.

  • Extreme portability and intuitive smartphone control
  • Optional accessories for upgrading from leisure to semi-professional use

Conclusion

The Vixen Polarie U is an ultra-compact and versatile star tracker, ideal for wide-field astrophotography, nightscapes and time-lapse. Its portability, multiple tracking modes and accessory options make it an evolutionary tool for enthusiasts seeking flexibility and performance, whether on the move or in a fixed installation.
