ABSTRACT:
A stand for photographic/optical and cinematographic equipment comprises a central column and a tripod base for the column including three legs and respective arms for connecting the legs to the column. The base comprises a first and a second articulation element slidable on and fixed to the column, respectively, with the legs articulated to the first articulation element about articulation axes substantially perpendicular to radii of the column. The connecting arms have their opposite ends articulated, respectively, to an intermediate portion of the corresponding leg and to the second articulation element, and each leg is movable from an inoperative position in which it is brought, with the corresponding connecting arm, close to the column, to an operative position in which it is opened out away from the column. The legs and the connecting arms have articulation points on the first and second articulation elements, respectively, the articulation points having an arrangement such that, in the inoperative position with each leg brought close to the central column, the axes of the legs and of the corresponding connecting arms are approximately coplanar with the axis of the central column so that the space occupied by each leg with the corresponding arm is predominantly included within the projection of the space occupied by the column.
