Abstract
A tripod (1) including three tripod legs (3) pivotably hinged on a carrier member (2) and of adjustable length. For fixing the length of the tripod legs (3) respective clamping devices (11) are provided. To adjust the height of the tripod, the clamping devices (11) on the tripod legs (3) can be actuated in common by means of a control handle (12). For this purpose three props (13) are hinged on the control handle (12), each one of said props being connected with one clamping device (11). In a lower stop position of the control handle (12), into which position the props (13) pass substantially horizontally, the length of all tripod legs (3) is fixed.
