Stand on the journey back, just the same (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.
(tripod is a kind of stand)

'on the journey back just the same' is the wordplay.
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'the journey' becomes 'trip' (trip is a kind of journey).
'back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'just the same' becomes 'do' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'do' in reverse letter order is 'od'.
'trip' put next to 'od' is 'TRIPOD'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tripod that I've seen before include "support called for" , "Three-legged support" , "Torpid (anag.)" , "Stand on three legs" , "Support needed" .)
