tripod

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

'camera stand' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'overdose and stumble' is the wordplay.
'overdose' becomes 'o.d.' (synonyms).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'stumble' becomes 'trip' (synonyms).
'od' put after 'trip' is 'TRIPOD'.

'in front of' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tripod that I've seen before include "one appears to have three legs!" , "Support needed" , "oral test at school" , "Stand on three legs" , "Something on three legs" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
