ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a tripod for a photo camera or a video camera, whose head piece exhibits a mounting for the respective device to be mounted and the mounting is swivel-mounted by means of a ball or swivel axis joint; and the head piece is connected to a column, to which removable support legs for forming the base element are attached, and whereby to attach the tripod to objects a clamping or gripping fixture is connected to the column. To this end, according to the invention the head piece and base element can be separated from the column; and head, base and column can be combined with means to make the tripod stable and/or to produce a stable attachment of the tripod; and the means to produce the stability and/or to attach to the environment can be adjusted by combining the individual means. In this manner a tripod is provided whose forms can be modified by assembling the combined individual means in different ways and which can be adapted to the peculiarities of nature for different applications, in particular in the field.
