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

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

before I worry :-)

Looks like all I need to do is make some kind of stand-off so I can
get the camera vertical and the field of view free of the tripod legs.


http://www.mountsandmore.com/Peerles...10-PE0164.html is a smaller
version of the wall mount I was thinking of.

http://www.harborfreight.com/manuals...4999/94030.pdf is $9 and
would be very easy to convert, plus there are several stores close to
you.
