Abstract:A tripod is used to fix or support the photographing device or measuring instruments to keep it level, playing a supporting role in the stability of instruments. For the measuring instruments which supported by the tripod, the stability of the tripod is very important. Compared with the heavy base, the tripod is flexible and portable. Therefore, how to make the structural stability of the case on lightweight and portable equipment is particularly important. In this paper, we design a portable carbon fiber tripod which can support different types of laser trackers. The tripod can be lifted with small environment interference. In the case of 25 kg,the maximum deformation can be 0.01 mm by the torque of 2.5 N?m through the simulation analysis.
