Rotatable UTA

In my quest for a collapsible split ring mount I have found, as expected, the eyepiece to end up in totally unacceptable positions as the mount is moved to point at varying objects.

I have seen designs that involve rotatable telescopes in the mount but I was wondering if anyone has ever seen an example of a rotatable UTA to allow the repositioning of the focuser regardless of the position of the telescope.

Sounds like a challenge worth taking up.

Any thoughts??
