Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To speedily decide the angle of a camera only by turning a crank handle by constituting a tripod so that the angle is freely changed by changing the angles of three legs by a gear linked with the crank handle. SOLUTION: The tripod is constituted so that the angle is freely changed by changing the angles of three legs by the gear linked with the crank handle. That means, since a conventional tripod is constituted so that the center pipe thereof is brought into contact with a ground in the case of a full low angle and it cannot be lowered further, the center pipe must be exchanged for the short pipe or a dedicated plate. However, when this tripod is used, the angle of the camera is speedily decided only by turning the crank handle.

For this reason, it was troublesome to replace it with a short pipe or a special plate, but with this method you can quickly determine the camera angle simply by turning the crank handle.
