Pocket Powerbox Advance Gen3
The Pocket Powerbox Advance Gen3 (SKU: PPBADV3) is the all-in-one power and connectivity solution for portable astrophotography setups. Building upon the success of its predecessor, the Gen3 introduces a powerful combination of intelligent power distribution, USB3 connectivity, and integrated device control in an ultra-compact aluminum enclosure. It features four individually switchable 12V DC outputs, a dedicated always-on 12V output, and a 3–19V adjustable DC output capable of delivering up to 3A for powering mini computers, mirrorless cameras, or other electronic devices.
A built-in 6-port USB hub (4xUSB3 + 2xUSB2), USB Power Delivery (PD) support, and an integrated stepper motor focuser controller eliminate cable clutter while providing reliable connectivity. This powerbox also includes dual PWM dew heater outputs with AutDew technology, an external temperature and humidity sensor, comprehensive voltage, current and power monitoring, Wi-Fi connectivity with a built-in web dashboard, and full ASCOM 7 and ASCOM Alpaca compatibility. Designed with reverse polarity, over-voltage, surge, and ESD protection, the PPBADV Gen3 delivers the performance, flexibility, and reliability required for today’s advanced astrophotography systems.
Built-in 6 port USB Hub
A powered USB3 Hub at the back of the device provides:
- 4 x USB3 (Type-A) SuperSpeed Ports
- 2 x USB2 (Type-C) High-Speed Ports.
The new SuperSpeed hubs operate in parallel with the USB 2.0 controller, so 5 Gbps SuperSpeed data transfers are not affected by slower USB 2.0 traffic.
USB Ports provide up to 3Amp of current and all ports include surge and ESD protection.
Included Stepper Motor Controller
Motor Focus Kit v2 (Universal)
The PPB ADV Gen3 features a built-in stepper motor focus controller, eliminating the need for a separate external focusing controller and reducing cable clutter.
Compatible with most bipolar stepper motors (we recommend our Motor Focus Kit Universal or Motor Focus Kit Zero for SCT telescopes. it delivers smooth, precise, and repeatable electronic focusing with up to 1.5A per coil. By requiring only an external motor, it offers a significantly lower-cost focusing solution while allowing you to control both power distribution and focusing through the same Pegasus Astro software interface.
Fully integrated with the Pegasus Astro software ecosystem, ASCOM, and ASCOM Alpaca, it supports automated focusing routines in popular astrophotography applications, helping you achieve and maintain critical focus throughout your imaging session.
Aluminum Enclosure
The electronics of the Pocket Powerbox Advance are securely nestled within a sturdy, high-quality enclosure crafted from durable blue anodized aluminum.
Built-in M3 blind mounting holes for easy installation of third-party accessories.
Size is 115mm x 75mm x 27.5mm. Weighs 350 grams.
ASCOM 7 and Alpaca | INDI
Fully supports the latest ASCOM 7 and ASCOM Alpaca standards, enabling seamless network control over Wi-Fi without the need for USB connectivity.
It implements ASCOM drivers for Switches, Observing Conditions, and the Focuser, allowing effortless integration with your favorite astronomy software and remote observatory setup.
Pocket Powerbox Advance Gen3 fully supports INDI framework.
Web Dashboard and ASCOM Alpaca
Control the Pocket Powerbox Advance Gen3 from any device using a modern web browser – no dedicated software required. For astronomy applications, built-in ASCOM Alpaca support enables direct connectivity with NINA and any other Alpaca-compatible software, providing seamless remote control and automation.
