[0019] Through the above-mentioned structural setting, the main leg 11 of the tripod 1 is supported on the top center of the outer surface of the steel pipe 3; the two auxiliary legs 12 are adsorbed on the outer surface of the steel pipe 3 through the magnetic suction cup 2. It is convenient to stably fix the tripod 1 on the outer surface of the steel pipe 3, so as to facilitate the installation of RTK, optical measurement equipment, reflection prism and other devices on the surface of the steel pipe for measurement, and the tripod 1 is not easy to slip or fall.

[0020] The magnetic suction cup 2 is detachably mounted on the auxiliary support leg 12 via the angle adjustment arm 4 .

[0021] One end of the angle adjustment arm 4 is fixed with the auxiliary support leg 12, and the other end is fixed with the magnetic suction cup 2. The direction of the magnetic suction cup 2 is adjusted by the angle adjustment arm 4 to adapt to the diameters of different steel pipes 3 on site.

[0022] like Figure 4 As shown, the angle adjustment arm 4 includes a first adjustment arm 41 and a second adjustment arm 42. One end of the first adjustment arm 41 and the second adjustment arm 42 are hinged together by a hinge shaft 43. The first adjustment arm 41 and the second adjustment arm 42 can rotate around the hinge shaft 43 to adjust the angle between the two and lock the angle between the two by a locking device; the other end of the first adjustment arm 41 is provided with a first clamping hoop 411, and the other end of the second adjustment arm 42 is provided with a second clamping hoop 421.
