‘x-standable,’ designed by jeff pun

x-standable, designed by american jeff pun, is a mobile, remote controlled height extension stand. adaptable to both small and large-scale projects, the x-standable structure extends horizontally as it rises vertically, increasing its stability.

when unextended, the device is compact and can be rolled easily. its advantages also include the minimal onsite assembly required, and its ease of installation and uninstallation as needed.

in smaller sizes, the technology can be used to hold flat panel tvs and laptops, permitting easy height adjustments for even heavy devices. it could be adapted for use as temporary construction lighting, a projector screen stand, or to aid in determining the placement of artwork, screens, and windows on a wall.

the same technology adapted to larger-scale work could produce adjustable and easily maintainable towers for communications and radio broadcasting, as well as transportable billboards or portable lighting.

in agricultural areas, the use of masts and towers for electricity transmission or meteorological measurements is generally problematic because the digging of foundations prevents proper plowing in the area. one can imagine that a product based on the x-standable mechanism might provide a viable alternative.
