A tripod in surveying is a three-legged stand that provides a stable base for supporting surveying instruments, such as total stations, levels, or theodolites. The legs of the tripod are adjustable in length, allowing for leveling on uneven ground, and are often equipped with pointed tips or rubber feet for improved stability on various surfaces.
