Introduction   (to top of page)

The Uti is the most portable Newtonian on the market today!  Made from carbon fiber and aircraft aluminum, the Uti6c weighs less than 12 lbs and the Uti8 weighs less than 22 lbs., INCLUDING THEIR TRIPODS!  Both scopes fit in a custom airline overhead bin size case.  Both scopes setup in less than 3 minutes requiring NO TOOLS.  All Uti's come equipped with RF Royce primary optics.  Whether you're viewing from your backyard, favorite local spot, business or vacation trips the Uti goes anywhere, anytime with ease!

Design and Materials    (to top of page)

Reliability, Ruggedness, and Rigidity were the driving design considerations. Aircraft aluminum and carbon fiber were the materials of choice.  All aluminum components are individually computer-machined (No mass produced castings are used). Each aluminum component is machined to very tight tolerances providing for a high performance instrument. The main tube, trusses, and secondary tube are constructed from carbon fiber. Carbon fiber provides a very stable platform for the optics with virtually no distortion or sagging in the optical path.  Motion of the scope is controlled through the use of Swiss made tapered roller bearings.  The two tapered roller bearings ride on a large 1.00 inch diameter stainless steel shaft, which provides for uncompromising stability. 

All Uti's come with SorboPad vibration dampers built-in to the tripod legs.  Click here for the full story

Setting-up and Traveling with Uti    (to top of page)

Traveling with the Uti is simple, fast, and convenient.  Whether traveling by car, plane, or hiking, the Uti is easy to take along.  The Uti sets-up and tears-down in less than 3 minutes. No tools are required. The tripod legs have two fixed positions, up for storage or down for viewing. Spring loaded locking pins hold the legs in the two positions. To move from one position to another, simply actuate the release lever and move to the adjacent position.  Trusses position the main and secondary tube assemblies. The trusses have captive thumb screws that secure each end of the truss assembly.  Three screws fasten the trusses to the main tube and three fasten to the secondary tube. The following video demonstrates the assembly steps (move your mouse over the picture to play).
