tripod

A tripod is a three-legged stand that provides stability and support for various tools, most commonly cameras, telescopes, and surveying equipment. The three legs create a stable base, allowing for even weight distribution and reducing the risk of tipping over. This design helps achieve steady shots in photography or secure positioning in observational tasks. Tripods can often be adjusted in height and are portable, making them useful for both professional and casual use in various settings, such as outdoor photography or scientific research.
