Uni-V: The Innovative Telescopic Column for Panoramic Views

Revolutionizing Observation with Free and Smooth Movements

Uni-V is a telescopic column made from aluminum and resin, designed to replace the traditional tripod with a more innovative and elegant support. Its unique design allows for free and smooth movements, providing viewers with an enhanced viewing experience.

With its telescopic column configuration, Uni-V offers a range of impressive features. It has adjustable height, ranging from 1200 to 1700 mm, and allows for free 360° rotations in the horizontal plane. In the vertical plane, it offers an angle of elevation from +45° to -90°. The column is compatible with all 1/4" thread optical equipment, with a maximum weight capacity of 20 kg.

One of the key strengths of Uni-V is its minimalist and sleek design. The aluminum construction not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also enhances its stability. The well-proportioned dimensions and internal column allow for ergonomic height adjustment, ensuring optimal comfort for viewers. Whether installed indoors or outdoors, Uni-V adds a touch of modern elegance to any space.

Uni-V was first conceptualized in April 2013, with the first prototype created in July of the same year. It made its public debut in September at the International Boat Show in Cannes. Since then, it has undergone several technical improvements and was showcased at various international boat shows in Cannes and Paris. The latest version was released in March 2015 at the Nauticale French Boat Show in La Ciotat.

Uni-V's design was the result of extensive research and experimentation. The focus was on purifying the appearance and maximizing stability while maintaining essential functions. The challenges included finding solutions for a free concept without handles, maximizing horizontal and vertical plane movements, and offering height adjustment.

Uni-V has received recognition for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Street and City Furniture Design category in 2016. This prestigious award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. Uni-V's integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics contribute to a better world.

Uni-V is a testament to Jessie Fernandez's commitment to pushing the boundaries of design and innovation. With its unique properties and exceptional functionality, Uni-V is set to revolutionize the way we observe and experience panoramic views.
