Deployable devices, systems, and methods are provided. Some embodiments include a system that may include: multiple frames configured to support multiple elements; multiple longerons; multiple diagonals coupled with the multiple longerons; and multiple battens. One or more battens may be coupled with at least one or more longerons and one or more frames such that the respective batten is offset at least along a length of the respective longeron with respect to at least a hinge point between the respective longeron and another longeron from the multiple longerons or along a length of the respective frame with respect to a hinge point between the respective frame and another frame from the multiple frames. Some embodiments include a method for ensuring synchronous deployment of a system that may include orienting a hinge axis coupled with at least one longeron substantially perpendicular to a hinge axis coupled with two or more frames.
