A portable support assembly adapted for mounting on a pole, said support assembly comprising:

• a first collar having a first aperture adapted for receiving said pole, said first collar having means for securing said pole within said first aperture;
• a first set of arms pivotally extending from said first collar, each arm of said first set of arms terminating at a distal end;
• a second collar having a second aperture adapted for receiving said pole, said second collar having means for securing said pole within said second aperture;
• a second set of arms pivotally extending from said second collar, each arm of said second set of arms terminating at a distal end, wherein each of said first set of arms corresponds to a respective one of said second set of arms;
• a third set of arms, each arm of said third set of arms having a proximal end;
• means for pivotally joining the proximal end of each of said third set of arms to the distal end of respective ones of said second set of arms;
• means for removably joining each of said third set of arms to the distal end of respective ones of said first set of arms;
• and
• a cord extending between adjacent ones of said third set of arms.
