Duo nip around providing singular support (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unipod

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'singular support' is the definition.
'unipod' can be an answer for 'support' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'singular' bit.

'duo nip around' is the wordplay.
'around' is an anagram indicator.
'duo'+'nip'='duonip'
'duonip' with letters rearranged gives 'UNIPOD'.

'providing' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for unipod that I've seen before include "One-leg camera support" , "support for photographer" , "Camera accessory" .)
