Alternative VB stand

I came up with an idea for something that will replace the standard VB stand, eliminate the neck problems that are caused by bending over to reach the VB, and also allow the VB to be played comfortably while laying down. Basically what I need is something to mount the VB onto that is sturdy and can hold the weight of the VB, and also something that can be moved to different positions.
Here are two things I have come up with:

1) Get a sturdy swing arm that can be mounted/clamped to a surface, such as the edge of a desk. The same type of swing arm that is used to hold a magnifying glass or lamp, or even something like an LCD monitor. It must be sturdy enough to hold the weight of the VB, which eliminates most of the cheap desk-lamp arms. And I think it would be too expensive to get an LCD-monitor mounting arm. So I need to find something in between, that is cheap, can be mounted to a desk via clamp, and is sturdy. And then I would have to remove the existing end of the swing arm and replace it with the clip mount of the VB stand. Or if that’s not sturdy enough, I would have to figure out a new way to attach the VB to the stand.

2) Get a tripod telescoping microphone boom stand that can be adjusted in multiple axes. Here is an example: Boom Stand
This has the advantage of not needing to remove anything at the tip of the stand, so it would probably be easier to mount the VB clip on the end. However, I would most likely need to make some kind of custom connector, that can be rotated and moved on different axes. Perhaps I could just make it very low-tech and duct tape the closed VB stand onto the end of the boom, haha.

The end goal I have in mind is something I can use to play my VB sitting in any position and then move out of the way when I am done. It would also be possible to use it to play while laying down, since it can hold the VB in place and therefore not press the weight into your face. If anyone has suggestions or comments they want to add, it would be very helpful. Even if I don’t end up building anything, it’s still fun to brainstorm!
