I have a special lighting kit that comes with these types of stands that can easily be attached to desk edges or shelves etc. I started out with a tripod with huge soft boxes and realized far too quickly that tripping over them, as well as dodging the boxes themselves, had become an obstacle course in my small studio. When I saw they were available as a separate option, I grabbed them. They have this universal mount that is used in many lighting sets. The best way to see what it is is to look at the photos on this page. This shelf/desk stand also comes with a cellphone mount and a universal swivel mount should you use this stand to mount a cellphone or camera with the standard 1/4"20 mount. Also the thick metal bracket gives it that Durability you are looking for, overall well made and very useful.
