Embodiments of the inventive subject matter are directed to vertically stabilized platforms. These platforms have a top portion that moves only along a single axis (e.g., vertically up and down), and a bottom portion that remains stationary relative to a reference frame. The top portion is coupled with the bottom portion by scissor linkages that are all configured to slide on one end to allow the top portion to move up and down without any perturbations or movements along any other axes. Stabilization in some embodiments is accomplished by incorporating struts that couple with both the bottom portion (either directly or indirectly) and two of the scissor linkages. Struts can include both a damper and a spring and can be selected based on anticipated load to be stabilized. Embodiments can be mounted on, e.g., truck beds, ships, or other surfaces that can move, giving rise to a need for a stabilized platform.
