1. A support structure comprising:

  • a central support member defining a central support axis, the central support member comprising a pivot end and a support end opposite the pivot end, the support end defining a plane orthogonal to the central support axis;

    a first joint coupled to the central support member, the first joint having a position on the central support axis, the position describing a distance from the pivot end; and

    a leveling device coupled to the first joint, the leveling device comprising an actuator for generating motion along a leveling device axis, the motion causing movement of the plane,wherein the leveling device is operative in a first configuration and a second configuration, wherein each of the first configuration and the second configuration describe a radially offset relation of the leveling device relative to the central support axis, and wherein the first configuration changes to the second configuration in response to the position of the first joint.
