An apparatus for stabilizing a device includes a rail, a first carriage, a second carriage, a first leg housing, and a first linking member. The rail is configured for attachment to the device and includes a length extending from a distal end and a proximal end. The first carriage is configured to slidably receive the rail. The second carriage is configured to slidably receive the rail. The first leg housing includes a first upper end pivotally coupled with a first portion of the first carriage and a first mount disposed distal to the first upper end. The first linking member includes a first distal end pivotally coupled with the first mount and a first proximal end pivotally coupled with a first portion of the second carriage.

A bipod for stabilizing a device, comprising: a rail configured for attachment to the device, the rail including a length extending from a distal end and a proximal end;a first carriage configured to slidably receive the rail;a second carriage configured to slidably receive the rail;a first leg housing having a first upper end pivotally coupled with a first portion of the first carriage and a first mount disposed distal to the first upper end;a first linking member including a first distal end pivotally coupled with the first mount and a first proximal end pivotally coupled with a first portion of the second carriage;a second leg housing having a second upper end pivotally coupled with a second portion of the first carriage and a second mount disposed distal to the second upper end; anda second linking member including a second distal end pivotally coupled with the second mount and a second proximal end pivotally coupled with a second portion of the second carriage. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a first locking mechanism that selectively prevents translation of the rail relative to the first carriage. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, further comprising a second locking mechanism that selectively prevents translation of the rail relative to the second carriage. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein at least one of the first and second locking mechanisms includes a locking projection that selectively engages a recess of the rail. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein as the first carriage pivots about the upper end of the first leg housing, a distance between the first carriage and the second carriage changes. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first linking member includes an angle between the first proximal end and the first distal end. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the second carriage advances towards the first carriage, the first carriage causes the first leg housing to pivot in a first direction. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the second carriage advances away from the first carriage, the first carriage causes the first leg housing to pivot in a second direction. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first leg housing may be positioned into at least three positions including a stowed configuration, a first deployed configuration, and a second deployed configuration. 10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein in the stowed configuration, the first leg housing is pivoted in a first direction until aligned with the rail. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein in the first deployed configuration, the first leg housing is pivoted in a second direction to a first angle relative to the rail. 12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein in the second deployed configuration, the first leg housing is pivoted in one of the first direction and the second direction to a second angle relative to the rail. 13. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the first leg housing may be locked in any of the at least three positions by selectively engaging at least one of a first locking mechanism of the first carriage and a second locking mechanism of the second carriage with the rail. 14. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first carriage and the second carriage may be simultaneously positioned along the rail. 15. A bipod for stabilizing a device, comprising: a rail configured for attachment to the device, the rail including a length extending from a distal end and a proximal end;first and second carriages configured to slidably receive the rail;first and second leg housings, each having an upper end pivotally coupled with the first carriage and a mount disposed distal to the upper end;first and second linking members, each including a distal end pivotally coupled with a respective mount and a proximal end pivotally coupled with the second carriage; andfirst and second locking mechanisms that selectively prevent translation of the rail relative to the first carriage and the second carriage respectively. 16. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the leg housings may be positioned into at least three positions including a stowed configuration, a first deployed configuration, and a second deployed configuration. 17. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein in the stowed configuration, the leg housings are pivoted in a first direction until aligned with the rail. 18. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein in the first deployed configuration, the leg housings are pivoted in a second direction to a first angle relative to the rail. 19. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein in the second deployed configuration, the leg housings are pivoted in one of the first direction and the second direction to a second angle relative to the rail.
