Stand being overdrawn after holiday (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tripod

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

'overdrawn after holiday' is the wordplay.
'overdrawn' becomes 'od' (abbreviation for overdrawn).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'holiday' becomes 'trip' (I've seen this before).
'od' put after 'trip' is 'TRIPOD'.

'being' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tripod that I've seen before include "Stand for camera etc" , "Three-legged support" , "Pay heed" , "Torpid (anag.)" , "support called for" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
