A resistive motion support mechanism joined to a mounting surface and to a base shaft for providing resistive support to the mounting surface as the mounting surface undergoes one or both of rotational and tilt movement relative to the base, the motion support mechanism including a support bearing connected to the mounting surface and to the base shaft which permits one or both of tilting and rotational motion of the mounting surface relative to the base; a pivot ball functionally attached to a portion of the base shaft; a resilient ring within a housing circumscribing the base shaft such that the resilient member is compressed between the housing and the base shaft by the relative movement between the base shaft and the mounting surface to provide a resistive force on the base shaft to resist the one or both of rotational and tilt movement; and, various means for varying the resistive force.
