An attitude adjustment system for supporting an object and allowing an adjustment of the attitude thereof. The system includes a distributor defining a distributor chamber therewithin. The distributor also has a distributor external surface. The distributor further defines a plurality of distributor apertures extending from the external surface to the distributor chamber. A valve is provided, at least in part, within the distributor chamber for selectively interconnecting the distributor apertures and isolating the distributor apertures from each other. The system further includes a plurality of supports for supporting the object. Each support includes a sleeve defining a support chamber therewithin, and having a support external surface. The sleeve further defines first and second sleeve apertures extending from the support external surface to the support chamber. Each support further includes a piston extending through, and obstructing the first sleeve aperture. The second sleeve aperture of each support is in fluid communication with a respective distributor aperture.
