Default What do you call it/where do you get it?

Trying to take close-ups of chips, is there some kind of stand/tripod
to hold a camera pointing downward onto a desk surface?

I just had a gooseneck from a UPC scanner with a 1/4" screw on one end,
and a 1/4" socket on the other that accepted a 1/4" screw. Took a peanut
tin and a couple of washers (One on either side of the hole you punch on
the bottom).

Fill with rice for ballast, or lead if you want really heavy ballast.
