    Abstract: A passive stabilizing platform is provided herein. It includes a base and at least two, but preferably three, vertically-upright hollow legs equi-angularly disposed around the the base. When in use the hollow legs contain a column of liquid therein. Tubes interconnect the hollow legs to allow free unimpeded movement of the water therebetween. A spherical float member is disposed in each of the hollow legs, the float member being movable only vertically upwardly or vertically downwardly within the hollow cylindrical leg within which the spherical float member is disposed, the movement being dependent solely, and in conjunction with, the upper surface of water in the hollow cylindrical leg within which the float member is disposed. A support arm is fixed to each float member and extends upwardly therefrom. The platform is supported by the support arms. A joint is secured between the hollow cylindrical legs and the platform.
