camera tripod
Three-legged photo stand
A camera tripod is a three-legged stand that holds a camera steady during shooting.
The legs typically extend and collapse for portability, and the head allows the camera to pan, tilt, or rotate.
Tripods eliminate camera shake for sharp images during long exposures or video recording: I set up my tripod for the sunset shot.
