Claim:
1. A support system for supporting a load comprising: a mounting head for a load; a base element; a support arm having a first support arm pivot coupling a proximal portion of the support arm to the base element and a second support arm pivot coupling a distal portion of the support arm to the mounting head; a slider movable along the longitudinal axis of the support arm; a first link pivotally connected to a proximal portion of the slider and pivotally connected to the base element, a first proximal pivot coupling the first link to the base element and a first distal pivot coupling the first link to the slider; and a second link pivotally connected to a distal portion of the slider and the mounting head, a second distal pivot coupling a distal portion of the slider to the mounting head and a second proximal pivot coupling the second link to the slider, wherein the slider holds the distance between the first distal pivot and the second proximal pivot constant.
