A multipoint reconfigurable system and method supporting a wide-variety of configurations that permit adaptation of the mounting system to the user's specific needs. The present invention includes embodiments directed towards multipoint connection bodies, monolegs, flexlegs, lanyard heads, secure connectors, snap connectors, and combinations thereof as well improved structures and methods for implementing these systems and methods. A reversible monopod includes a telescoping columnar monopod body including a proximal end and a distal end; and a coupler coupled to each the end, the coupler selected from the group consisting of a quick-connect type 1 coupler, a quick-connect type 2 coupler complementary to the quick-connect type 1 coupler, a threaded ¼″-20 stud connector, and combinations thereof. 1. A reconfigurable mounting system for a device having a device mounting coupler , comprising:a tripod, including:a multipoint attachment body having a top wall, a bottom wall, and one or more side walls joining said top wall to said bottom wall, said top wall defining a top attachment point, said side wall defining a side attachment point, and said bottom wall defining at least three attachment points including a set of three tripod leg attachment points, said attachment points supporting a universal quick connect mating system including a type 1 connector and a type 2 connector complementary, said type 1 connector and said type 2 connector complementary to each one another, wherein said top attachment point has a first particular one connector of said connector types and wherein said set of three tripod leg attachment points each have a second particular one connector of said connector types; anda plurality of rigid tripod legs, each leg having a proximal end and a distal end with said proximal end having a tripod connector of said type complementary to said second particular one connector;a flexleg having a proximal end and a distal end with said proximal end having a ...
