Abstract: A tripod for a transportable SATCOM antenna includes a base with a frame centered on a center axis. A first leg is connected to the frame of the base by a first hinge, a second leg is connected to the frame of the base by a second hinge, and a third leg is connected to the frame of the base by a third hinge. A first strut extends from the first leg to the second leg, a second strut extends from the second leg to the third leg, and a third strut extends from the third leg to the first leg. The first strut, the second strut, and the third strut each include a first strut segment, a second strut segment, and a hinge connecting the first strut segment and the second strut segment. A locking collar is on the first strut segment and extends over the hinge.
