       2 . The pole support according to  claim 1 , wherein the weight is configured to be at least partially placed onto the pole base. 
   
   
       3 . The pole support according to  claim 1 , wherein the weight surrounds at least a portion of the pole holder. 
   
   
       4 . The pole support according to  claim 3 , wherein the weight includes one or more openings in a circumference of the weight 
   
   
       5 . The pole support according to  claim 1 , wherein the weight is divided into two or more detachable elements. 
   
   
       6 . The pole support according to  claim 5 , wherein the elements of the weight are connected to each other. 
   
   
       7 . The pole support according to  claim 5 , wherein adjacent elements of the weight include contact areas with complementing profiles. 
   
   
       8 . The pole support according to  claim 7 , wherein adjacent elements include contact areas having respective dovetail profiles. 
   
   
       9 . The pole support according to  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the weight is configured as a container. 
   
   
       10 . The pole support according to  claim 9 , wherein the container is divided into a plurality of segments. 
   
   
       11 . The pole support according to  claim 9 , wherein the container defines a top and wherein said top is open. 
   
   
       12 . The pole support according to  claim 11 , wherein the opening is covered by an element of a weight arranged on top of the opening. 
   
   
       13 . The pole support according to  claim 12 , wherein the opening is covered by a cover plate. 
   
   
       14 . The pole support according to  claim 1 , wherein the pole base is configured as a crossed stand having support struts arranged at a right angle to one another. 
   
   
       15 . The pole support according to  claim 1 , wherein the pole base is constructed of shaped metal struts. 
   
   
       16 . The pole support according to  claim 1 , wherein a pivot bearing is mounted on the pole holder opposite the pole base, and wherein a pivoting axis of the bearing approximately coincides with a longitudinal axis of the pole holder. 
   
   
       17 . The pole support according to  claim 1 , further comprising a bearing unit connected to the pole base and to the pole holder and configured to hold the pole holder opposite the pole base. 
   
   
       18 . The pole support according to  claim 17 , wherein the bearing unit comprises a brake or locking mechanism, which is operable with a foot control that protrudes over the weight.
