## Abstract

A rolling base having two leg members connected to a hinge mechanism. Three wheels support the rolling base, each leg having one wheel each with the third wheel secured to the hinge mechanism. Two attachments are provided, one at the hinge with a second positioned between the legs. The attachment mechanisms accepting support members used to support lights, cameras, and other accessories.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A base comprising:
a) A first leg and a second leg, said first leg and the second leg secured to each other at their second ends via a hinge mechanism;
b) A first wheel secured to the first end of the first leg;
c) A second wheel secured to the first end of the second leg;
d) A third wheel secured to the hinge mechanism;
e) A first attachment receptacle secured proximate to the hinge mechanism;
f) An arm mechanism extending from the hinge mechanism between the first leg and the second leg; and,
g) A second attachment receptacle positioned at an end of the arm mechanism.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The base according to claim 1, wherein the first leg and the second leg are selectively elongated.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The base according to claim 2, further including a limiting mechanism positioned proximate to the hinge mechanism, said limiting mechanism establishing a maximum angle between the first leg and the second leg.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The base according to claim 3, wherein the maximum angle is fifty six degrees.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The base according to claim 2, further including a first support, a proximal end thereof configured to be accepted by either the first attachment mechanism or the second attachment mechanism.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The base according to claim 5, wherein the first support is adjustable in length and wherein a distal end of the first support mechanism is configured to be secured to an accessory.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The base according to claim 6, further including a second support, a proximal end thereof configured to be accepted by either the first attachment mechanism or the second attachment mechanism.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The base according to claim 7, further including a beam adapted to be secured a distal end of the first support and a distal end of the second support such that an end of the boom extends past the second end of the first leg and the second end of the second leg.

### Claim 9 (depends on 5)

The base according to claim 5, wherein the first leg includes a first bracket secured proximal to the second end of the first leg.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The base according to claim 9, wherein the second leg includes a second bracket secured proximal to the second end of the first leg.

### Claim 11

A base comprising:
a) A first leg and a second leg, said first leg and the second leg secured to each other at their second ends via a hinge mechanism, said first leg, second leg, and hinge mechanism on rollers;
b) A first attachment receptacle secured proximate to the hinge mechanism;
c) An arm mechanism extending from the hinge mechanism between the first leg and the second leg; and,
d) A second attachment mechanism positioned at an end of the arm mechanism.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The base according to claim 11, further including a first support, a proximal end thereof configured to be accepted by either the first attachment mechanism or the second attachment mechanism, said first support being adjustable in length, a distal end of the first support configured to be secured to an accessory.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The base according to claim 12, further including a second support, a proximal end thereof configured to be accepted by either the first attachment mechanism or the second attachment mechanism, said second support being adjustable in length, a distal end of the second support configured to be secured to an accessory.

### Claim 14

A base comprising:
a) A first leg and a second leg, said first leg and the second leg secured to each other at their second ends via a hinge mechanism allowing the first leg and second leg to collapse next to each other;
b) A first wheel secured to the first end of the first leg, a second wheel secured to the first end of the second leg, and a third wheel secured to the hinge mechanism;
c) A first attachment receptacle secured proximate to the hinge mechanism, and a second attachment mechanism positioned using an arm suspended by the hinge mechanism, between the first leg and the second leg.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The base according to claim 14, further including a limiting mechanism positioned proximate to the hinge mechanism, said limiting mechanism establishing a maximum angle between the first leg and the second leg.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The base according to claim 15, wherein the limiting mechanism provides support for the arm mechanism.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The base according to claim 16, wherein the arm mechanism is moveable relative to the first and second leg.
