Abstract: This invention provides a novel compact electronic device support that allows articulation for ideal positioning, aiming or viewing. It is compact, readily stored and quick to set up. Frictional and magnetic forces prevent rotational twisting and wobbling without mechanical parts. In one embodiment the system describes a ball and socket joint. In an alternate embodiment, the head of the threaded fastener is cup-shaped and the base support has a raised hemispherical pivot. In a further alternate embodiment, the base and the clip-on support together form a fob for a key-ring. The removable support can be connected to an electronic device and then connected to magnetic cup formed into the base for a ball and socket joint. In an additional alternate embodiment, the base support has a post having a geometric shape that inserts into a conforming threaded adapter that is removably attached into the electronic device's conventional tripod socket.
