I use a cheap camera tripod with the attachment gear hacked off. I slip
a length of 3/4" Schedule 40 PVC over it and secure with a screw. To
that I attach mic rigs with simple PVC couplers. Very light weight.

Here's the best photo I have of the tripod:

Here's a closer view of a mic rig mounted to it:

Sometimes I prefer a simple monopod of the same PVC material. Cheap and
easy if you don't mind holding on to it all day.
