Bipod

A bipod is an attachment for either a photographical device or a weapon that creates a steady plane for whatever it may be attached. It provides significant stability along two axes of motion (side-to-side, and up-and-down). The concept for a bipod dates back to pre-20th century times, and is still used today by agencies such as NASA.

Bipod comes from the Latin and Greek roots bi and pod, meaning "two" and "foot, or feet" respectively.
