A collapsible portable stand comprises support legs and a mast that collapse into a small equipment enclosure or case, forming one single, integral unit that provides for storage, stable support for a device that is mounted onto the mast, and portability. The legs and mast are operatively connected to the case and preferably have extendable length. In an embodiment, the legs and mast are connected to the case via hinges that provide for the legs and mast to rotate with respect to the case. The case preferably has wheels and an extendable handle for ease of transport when the legs and mast are collapsed into the case. An embodiment includes an internal storage case that has a moveable cover that can include controls for and/or connections to a device stored in the internal storage case. An alternative embodiment includes a larger portable stand that has components that are external of the case and/or are independent of a case.

The stand of claim 1, wherein when said stand has said two legs extended outwardly and horizontally from said first case and said case is placed on a supporting surface, at least a portion of each of said two legs and at least a portion of said first case can each contact the supporting surface at different locations. 3. The stand of claim 2, wherein when said stand has said two legs extended outwardly from said first case said legs outwardly extend divergently from each other. 4. The stand of claim 1, further comprising a power supply. 5. The stand of claim 4, wherein said power supply comprises a battery. 6. The stand of claim 4, further comprising an input for an external power source. 7. The stand of claim 1, wherein said power supply comprises a rechargeable battery, and said stand further comprises an input for an external power supply, wherein said external power supply can recharge said rechargeable battery. 8. The stand of claim 1, wherein said extendible mast is pivotally attached to said first case. 9. The stand of claim 1, further comprising: a power supply mounted within said first case.
