Abstract
A support tripod for video-photographic equipment. The tripod has a cross-piece with a mount for the equipment and a plurality of support legs pivotable with respect to the cross-piece to open/close the tripod. Each leg has a first leg portion articulated to a corresponding hinge on the cross-piece so that the leg can be pivoted between a closed configuration, in which the legs are arranged almost parallel with each other, and at least one operative configuration, in which the legs are apart with respect to the cross-piece, and a second leg portion parallel with and connected to the first leg portion. The second leg portion has a member which extends mainly along a longitudinal axis. The second leg portion can slide along the longitudinal axis, moving with respect to the first leg portion to release the leg from the cross-piece and make the leg pivotable with respect to the cross-piece.
