Abstract

A multi-purpose camera stand includes a lower tube, an upper tube sheathed on the lower tube, a multi-stage telescopic rod installed into the lower tube, and a mounting stand fixed to the multi-stage telescopic rod. A camera equipment is installed onto the mounting stand, and three legs are hinged to the bottom of the lower tube. After the three legs are folded, a first accommodating space for accommodating the multi-stage telescopic rod is formed, and a second accommodating space for accommodating the stand is formed in the upper tube. When the camera stand is folded, the telescopic rod is accommodated into the first accommodating space, and the mounting stand is accommodated into the second accommodating space to reduce the storage volume of the camera stand and facilitate storage and carry. In addition, the mounting stand can be rotated in different directions to fit the use of different occasions.
