tripod
Three-legged support
A tripod is a three-legged stand or support.
The design provides stability on uneven surfaces—cameras, telescopes, and surveying equipment commonly mount on tripods.
The word extends to any three-legged structure: a tripod stool, a tripod table.
In science fiction, tripod sometimes names three-legged alien machines or creatures.
