Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure relates to an adjustable mount apparatus. The apparatus may have a material support having a plurality of support legs, with each one of the support legs having a distal portion. A base assembly is used which has a plurality of laterally extending leg portions. A plurality of adjustably positionable capture subassemblies are slidably disposed within the laterally extending leg portions for releasably coupling to the distal portions of the support legs to hold the material support in a stable manner on the base assembly. A plurality of moveable elements, each being independently associated with one of the capture subassemblies, enable highly controlled linear movement of the capture subassemblies. Each capture subassembly engages with the distal portion of one of the support legs to exert a clamping force thereon, to affix the material support securely to the base assembly.
