1. A stand for an electronic display device comprising:
a base assembly including a non-magnetic bearing cup defining an upwardly facing rounded recess presenting a smooth upwardly facing surface and an opposing lower surface, and an attractor bowl made from ferrous material disposed proximate the lower surface; and
a docking assembly including a cup interface presenting a smooth rounded outer surface portion conformingly shaped to the recess of the bearing cup, a securing magnet, and a device interface adapter adapted to receive the electronic display device, wherein the rounded outer surface portion of the cup interface is received in the recess of the bearing cup and is slidable on the smooth upper surface of the bearing cup to enable selective positioning of the cup interface relative to the base assembly in roll, pitch, and yaw, and wherein the securing magnet attracts the attractor cup to secure the docking assembly in engagement with the base assembly.
