ABSTRACT:
An improved equipment stabilizing support apparatus having an upper spar associated with the equipment and a lower spar connected by a double-acting type hinge that provides angular displacement between the upper and lower spars to adjustably balance equipment, and angular displacement around a second axis to allow folding of the lower spar toward the upper spar to an optimum closed configuration regardless of the adjusted balancing position.
