[0011] The opening structure is arranged on the cylinder and can controllably limit the rotation of the supporting leg.

[0012] Further features are as follows:

[0013] The base is rotatably connected with the foot, and the base is connected with the rotating block through the first pin shaft and the shaft sleeve, and the rotating block is fixedly connected with the foot.

By setting up a compression spring and a tension spring, the compression spring pushes the rotating block to give the support leg an initial force, while the tension spring provides an instantaneous elastic contraction force to drive the support leg to move downward. Under the combined action of the two forces, the support leg quickly unfolds to a position perpendicular to the cylinder, thereby providing a force for the cylinder to stand upright.

[0027] (2). By setting up a combination of slider and rope, when the slider moves downward with the support leg, the rope pulls the observation equipment upward, so that it extends out of the cylinder, thereby improving its observation effect.

At the same time, multiple components are connected to the lower end of the side wall of the cylinder, which can lower the center of gravity to the greatest extent. In this embodiment, the lower center of gravity can be lowered vertically during airdrop, which is convenient for the subsequent shock absorption device to perform shock absorption. At the same time, the low center of gravity can better support the cylinder to stand up when the legs are unfolded.

[0029] (4). By setting up a parachute and a shock-absorbing device, the parachute opens to reduce the acceleration due to gravity. At the same time, the shock-absorbing device buffers the impact force through layers of shock-absorbing rubber support, shock-absorbing lower shell, shock-absorbing upper shell and shock-absorbing rubber pad.
