Abstract: A tripod base with enhanced support force has a flat base and three supporting rods. The flat base has a side, a bottom surface, a tube mounting hole and three slots arranged as a triangle at the bottom surface. Each slot has an inner closed end and an outer open end that is formed through the side. Each supporting rod has a first end pivotally mounted in one corresponding slot and has an inner segment held in the corresponding slot. Because the three slots are arranged as a triangle, contact area is increased between the supporting rod and the flat base to disperse the loading to the three supporting rods, thereby enhancing the supporting force. Further, the center of gravity of the flat base is lowered because of the flat shape to prevent the tripod base from toppling over.
