a support comprising a support plate;
a guide assembly positioned on the support and comprising,
at least two engagement plates, each of the at least two engagement plates defining a plurality of surface features;
at least two holders partially positioned between the guide assembly and the support plate, each of the at least two holders comprises,
a retainer configured to retain a portion of the portable electronic device, and
a holder extension;
a lock assembly at least partially positioned within the support, the lock assembly comprising,
a barrel, and
a locking pin operatively coupled to the barrel, the locking pin including a biaser; and
a biasing element positioned adjacent to the locking pin,
wherein in a locked state, the locking pin contacts and advances the biasing element into contact with the guide assembly to push the guide assembly towards the support to clamp the holder extensions between the guide assembly and the support, wherein the plurality of surface features of the engagement plates inhibit movement of the at least two holders in a first direction to move the retainers away from the support,
wherein in an unlocked state, the locking pin is positioned away from the biasing element and the biasing element is biased away from the guide assembly and the at least two holders are enabled to move in the first direction and in an opposing second direction to move the retainers towards the support.
