Devices, apparatus, systems and methods for providing accurate linear and angular positioning with a payload mounted to a beam having freely moveable ends. The payload can be a laser pointer mounted on a firearm, which maintains the initial precise pointing during and after exposure in high G shock and vibration environments. Vertical and lateral adjustment controls can adjust minute changes in beam orientation. Precision adjustments can be performed in a zero G, one G, or high G environment and maintains the adjustment during and after being exposed to a high G shock or vibration environment.

1. A pointing support device for high shock environments, comprising: a housing having a base, a front stationary wall and a rear stationary wall, the front stationary wall with an opening;a one piece cylindrical shaped beam having only a first end rigidly mounted and fixed directly to the rear stationary wall, a second end aligned with and adjacent to the opening in the front wall;a pointing payload rigidly and fixedly attached to the second end of the cylindrical beam, wherein the cylindrical beam provides accurate linear and angular positioning of the payload and maintains initial precise pointing of the payload relative to a surface the pointing device is attached to during and after exposure of the housing to shock and vibration; andan externally accessible vertical and lateral adjustment mechanism consisting of only one single vertical adjustment component and only one single lateral adjustment component, the adjustment mechanism directly coupled to the pointing payload for adjusting vertical and lateral position of the payload be deflecting the beam along vertical and lateral orientation. 2. The pointing support device of claim 1, wherein the cylindrical beam is a hollow cylindrically shaped beam. 3. The pointing support device of claim 1, wherein the cylindrical shaped beam is a solid beam. 4. The pointing support device of claim 1, wherein the pointing payload includes: a laser module mounted on a firearm. 5. The pointing device of claim 1, wherein the one single vertical adjustment component and only one single lateral adjustment component comprises: only one single rotatable vertical control and only one single rotatable lateral control rotatable from an exterior of the pointing support device for adjusting vertical and lateral position of the payload without disassembly. 6. The pointing device of claim 1, wherein the one single vertical adjustment component and only one single lateral adjustment component comprises: a vertical cam control and a lateral cam control for adjusting vertical and lateral position of the payload. 7. The pointing support device of claim 1, wherein the pointing payload is selected from one of a dual laser payload or a laser and detector payload. 8. The pointing support device of claim 1, wherein the pointing payload includes an optical mirror payload. 9. The pointing support device of claim 1, wherein the cylindrical beam has an adjustment of the only one single rotatable vertical control and only one single rotatable lateral control in each axis based on one or more of a cylindrical beam material, effective cylindrical beam length, cross section shape and conical element profile. 10. The pointing support device of claim 1, wherein the cylindrical beam is fabricated of a material selected from a group consisting of metal, plastic, and composite. 11. A pointing support device for high shock environments, comprising: a housing having a base, a front stationary wall and a rear stationary wall, the front stationary wall with an opening;a one piece cylindrical shaped beam having only a first end rigidly and fixedly mounted and fixed directly to the rear stationary wall, a second end aligned with and adjacent to the opening in the front wall;a pointing payload rigidly attached to the second end of the cylindrical shaped beam, wherein the cylindrical shaped beam provides accurate linear and angular positioning of the payload and maintains initial precise pointing of the payload relative to a surface the pointing device is attached to during and after exposure of the housing to shock and vibration; andan externally accessible vertical and lateral adjustment mechanism consisting of only one single vertical adjustment component and only one single lateral adjustment component, the adjustment mechanism directly coupled to the pointing payload for adjusting vertical and lateral position of the payload. 12. The pointing device of claim 11, wherein the pointing payload includes: a passive receiving elements selected from one of a television and electromagnetic spectrum detectors. 13. The pointing device of claim 11, wherein the pointing payload includes: a reflective element selected from one of optical and electromagnetic spectrum reflectors. 14. The pointing device of claim 11, wherein the one single vertical adjustment component and only one single lateral adjustment component comprises: only one single rotatable vertical control and only one single rotatable lateral control rotatable from an exterior of the pointing support device for adjusting vertical and later position of the payload without disassembly.
