Abstract

An articulated support assembly has: a stepping head clamping lock (12), a lockable support assembly (14) connected to the stepping head clamping lock and selectively releasably connectable to a stationary object for allowing multi-planar orthogonal manipulation of a device into a position with respect a plane of the stationary object, and plural joints (16a, 16b, 18a, 18b, 29a, 29b) connected to the lockable support assembly that allows multi-planar orthogonal movement.
