A flashlight comprising:
- a rotatable head containing a light source;
- a pivot in communication with the rotatable head;
- a center housing rotatable attached to the pivot, wherein the pivot and the rotatable head rotates at least in a plane that is parallel to the main axis of the center housing, the center housing having a first end that is furthest away from the head;
- a first leg rotatably attached to the center housing, the first leg having generally the shape of a longitudinal third of a hollow cylinder;
- a second leg rotatably attached to the center housing, the second having generally the shape of a longitudinal third of a hollow cylinder;
- a third leg rotatably attached to the center housing, the third leg having generally the shape of a longitudinal third of a hollow cylinder;
- a sliding sleeve slideably attached to the center housing, and in communication with the first second and third legs;
- a flashlight selection indicator located on the head;
- a tripod position indicator located on the head;
