TriPod is a rock trio with no guitars or keyboards.
TriPod uses non-traditional instruments in the melodic line (bass, brass, theremin & woodwinds). The band has been variously classified as Fusion, Jazz, Canterbury, World Music, Prog, Alternative, RIO, and Avant Garde, yet TriPod proclaims itself a rock band.
TriPod performs only original music and includes improvs in stage performances and on CDs. The band was discovered at CBGBs in New York City by Genya Ravan and now tours internationally, performing in venues ranging from clubs to international festivals: 2005 - Baja Prog Festival (Mexico); 2006 - Zappanale Festival (Germany), North West Rock Festival (Croatia), Burg Herzberg Festival (Germany); 2007 - European tour (Germany, Croatia, Serbia, Hungary, Slovenia, Bosnia, Netherlands, Belgium).
It is composed of three New York musicians: Clint Bahr 12-string bass guitar, Chapman Stick, Taurus pedals, Theremin, vocals), Keith Gurland (alto and tenor sax, flute, clarinet, panpipes, pedals, vocals) and Steve Romano (acoustic and electric drums and percussion).
Following in the tradition of King Crimson and ELP, TriPod creates symphonic rock music. At one point Pierre Moerlen from Gong was a band member.
TriPod's CD is released on the MoonJune Records label, known for promoting artists such as Soft Machine and Elton Dean.

In photography, a tripod is used to stabilize and elevate a camera, a flash unit, or other photographic equipment. All photographic tripods have three legs and a mounting head to couple with a camera. The mounting head usually includes a thumbscrew that mates to a female threaded receptacle on the camera, as well as a mechanism to be able to rotate and tilt the camera when it is mounted on the tripod. Tripod legs are usually made to telescope, in order to save space when not in use. Tripods are usually made from aluminum, carbon fiber, steel, wood or plastic.

Higher wind speeds with an average of 10 m/s and more full rated hours with up to 4.700h are the economic reasons to go offshore with wind turbines. Engineering, construction and installation of 1.000t wind turbine foundations was one of the upcoming disciplines within this new sector. The Tripod foundation is one representative of solutions found for this. The design is strictly guided by the functional requirements of a long lasting predominantly dynamic loaded structure in harsh environment. But the Tripod has been displaced by less detailed structures for capital expenditure reasons. The bigger the turbines and in water depth of 40m and more the cost disadvantage might be compensated, even when durability is also taken into account.
A tripod is a three-legged support device.
