Claim Text:
1. A platform system for leveling a stage, the platform system comprising: a first module assembly and a second module assembly, each of the first module assembly and the second module assembly including one or more receiving members; and one or more supports engaged and removably secured to each of the one or more receiving members, each support comprising: an elongate portion; an extendible portion extendible from and lockingly engageable with the elongate portion; a base member removably attached to the extendible portion; and an actuator assembly having a housing affixed to the elongate portion and an actuator having an actuation force receiving surface and a biasing device positioned within the housing and in communication within the actuator, wherein in response to application of a force applied to the force receiving surface in a direction toward the biasing device, the actuator disengages the extendible portion, allowing gravity to extend the extendible portion downward to engage an underlying surface thereby; self-leveling of each of the first module assembly and the second module assembly of the stage as the base member engages the underlying surface, wherein the first module assembly and the second module assembly are connected such that the first module assembly and the second module assembly remain connected during the self-leveling.
