The invention belongs to the technical field of aerospace equipment accessories, and discloses a manufacturing method of a tripod and the tripod. The manufacturing method of the tripod comprises the following steps that A, a cylindrical blank made of a nickel-iron alloy is provided, and heating is carried out on the blank; B, the blank is forged into an orthohexagonal prism; C, material segregation operation is carried out on the blank in the circumferential direction through a material segregation roller to obtain a blank body and three supporting legs fixedly connected to the blank body, andthe three supporting legs are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction of the blank body; D, drawing operation is carried out on the three supporting legs to enable the three supportinglegs to extend in the radial direction of the blank body; and E, bending operation is carried out to enable the three supporting legs to be bent in the same direction relative to the blank body, andthe tripod is obtained. The tripod is manufactured through the manufacturing method of the tripod. According to the manufacturing method, the overall structure of the tripod is directly formed in a free forging mode, so that the production and manufacturing cost is effectively reduced.
