A stand for photographic equipment includes a connecting member, a pedestal, and a locking assembly connected therebetween. The locking assembly includes a support rod, a guiding member mounted around the support rod, a locking pin fixed on the support rod and engaged with the guiding member, a spring member located between the pedestal and the guiding member, and a driving member pivotally connected to the support rod. One end of the support rod and the connecting member are rotatably connected with each other by a universal ball. The locking assembly is configured to make the locking pin move along the guiding member to a first fixed position or a second fixed position by pressing the driving member. In the first fixed position, a top end of the guiding member abuts against and locks the connecting member. In the second fixed position, the guiding member releases the connecting member.

The present invention relates to a collapsible stand, a kit for a collapsible stand and to associated methods and apparatus. The collapsible stand is intended for supporting an object, and includes a head unit comprising a fixture for attaching to the object, and one or more leg sockets; and one or more legs proximal ends of which are reversibly received in the respective leg sockets. Each leg comprises a bistable reelable composite member having a first stable form in the form of an elongate slit tube in which form the member is resiliently biased and acts as a leg. When removed from the socket, the tube can be opened out at the slit at an end and progressively coiled to reversibly attain a second stable form in the form of a coil. The coil defines an internal space for accommodating at least part of the head unit.
