Abstract
A tripod support for video-photographic equipment comprises a crosspiece with a tube, a column with a shaft sliding inside the tube of the crosspiece, the column having a plate arranged to be fitted at one end of the shaft and an end plug arranged to be fitted at the axially opposite end of the shaft as well as removable fixing means between the plate and shaft and between the shaft and plug respectively to remove the plate and plug from the shaft and the shaft from the tube. The fixing means onto the plate and onto the plug are mutually connectable, as an alternative to being connected to the shaft, to directly fix the plate and the plug to the opposite ends of the tube of the crosspiece when removed from the shaft.
