Stand and fall over a piece of wood (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tripod

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

'stand' is the definition.
(I know that tripod is a type of tripod)

'fall over a piece of wood' is the wordplay.
'fall over' becomes 'trip' (I've seen this in another clue).
'a piece of wood' becomes 'od' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'trip'+'od'='TRIPOD'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tripod that I've seen before include "oral test at school" , "support called for" , "Support needed" , "Stand for camera etc" , "Pay heed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
