A vibration isolation system (12) utilizes various configurations of elastic structures loaded to approach a point of elastic instability. In one form of the invention, the system uses a combination of a negative-stiffness mechanism (20) and a positive spring (20) to support a payload and provide zero or near-zero net stiffness in the vertical direction. Horizontal motion is generally isolated by utilizing one ar more axially-symmetric columns (14) loaded near their critical buckling loads to provide little or no stiffness in any horizontal direction. preventive stops (100) limit displacements to keep the columns (14) from collapsing under abnormal loads.
