in gymnastics the term tripod means a certain move that gymnastics do. When doing a tripod one stands on their head with their head framing one leg of the tripod, and their two hands making the other two legs of the tripod.
The word tripod is probably derived from Greek: from tri for "three" and podos for "foot." Thus the word tripod means literally three footed.Tripods have only three legs because even on an uneven surface something having only three legs will still not wobble, as something with four legs would. Most camera tripods have legs which are adjustable in length to make a strong, level camera platform.
If you mean a stand used for steadying the camera while taking pictures, then it's called a tripod.

Photographers normally use a tripod (three-legged stand) to hold a camera steady.
You put a "head" on a tripod. (At least in photography).

In Science, a tripod is a piece of equipment, used to hold a beaker or container. The gauze mat is what is placed ontop of a tripod to hold said beaker/container. These two pieces of equipment are usually accompanied by a bunsen burner.
no such thing as a cam
When heating beakers, a ring or square of wire gauze is placed on top of the tripod over the burner. The gauze may incorporate an asbestos pad or coating. The wire spreads the heat to prevent overheating of one part of the beaker.

A tripod is something with three legs. Tri= three, pod=leg.
The use of the tripod is to stand things on top of it in science. A tripod is used primarily to make the camera steady and give almost-hands free shooting ability.
Most surveying instruments are mounted on a tripod with a flat surface on top. A tilting level tripod has a curved surface on top. The tripod does not need the precise set up procedure because the tilting level can be shifted up or down along the top of the curved tripod head until the levels own level vial is horizontal and then measurements can be made.
