The spring clamp is fused to a support tube housing a rod that can vary the height of the mount. On top of the rod is a detachable holding member on which a user places the forend of a rifle while aiming and firing it. In addition, the holding member can be removed from the portable support mount, and the rod can attach to a camera, telescope, small video camera, or other device.
