Abstract
A stand in which professional television cameras are placed includes a compact and easily storable and transportable stand for professional television cameras comprising a plurality of supporting legs pivotable upon the fixed base, and between a folded position, in which the stand is positioned coupled to a corresponding slot, and an open position, in which the stand is positioned substantially in parallel to the fixed base and thereby able to be placed on a surface. When the stand is in storage or transport, the stand may be brought into a folded position, in which each supporting leg is coupled to a corresponding slot, reducing the form factor of the stand while folded and having higher easiness in transportation.
