Keep the Applied Force
within the footprint of
the Tripod.
The Equal-Leg Tripod shown is a
Directional Frame
, as
the frame supports a pulley system and the haul line is
not terminated onto the frame. The use of indepen-
dent hobbles alone is normally considered accept-
able to secure the feet in this configuration.
In this case, the hobbles form a triangle between
the feet. Ideally the load should be suspended
in the center of the triangle. As the load is
moved away from the center of the triangle
the Tripod will have a tendency to topple.
Care must be taken to ensure that the
load is kept in the center of the trian-
gle. Additionally, keep the haul line
close to the load line to prevent
tendency of movement on the
head of the frame.
