I bought what is called a monitor arm and a table clamp a few months ago to use with my camera. Making valve gear today, I really needed a helping hand and managed to set them up to hold my jeweller's pin vice whilst I soldered some tiny pieces. This particular arrangement is a bit 'in the air' (the clamp won't close on the narrower part of the handle) but I managed well enough. I have used it on a couple of other occasions closer to the bench, once to hold my micromotor so that I had two hands to hold the workpiece.
I shall employ this 'camera aid' some more in the future. There are a range of extras including ball heads and more of the pincer clamps. It would also be useful for holding lights for some jobs.
