IPVM has been asked a few times about demo camera setup and/or our test setup.

We had standardized on Stellar Labs trips from MCM, but they have been discontinued. This item looks nearly identical to what we use:

You can get it on Amazon, B&H Photo, or elsewhere. My personal preference is to remove the lower mounting bars and support struts, just leaving the tripod and t-bar. Then mount a piece of plywood to the t-bar for quick / easier camera mounting. You can run a few large toggles through the ply and t-bar to mount it. Below is a picture of the side/end of the t-bar, plywood, and bolt:

RAM Mounts also work well for mounting cameras to tripods, or many other things.

You can mount some of the ball bases to tripods, and then use the other components for various cameras or other devices as needed.
