    My goto stand after having several cheapo tripods is Rockwell jawstand. There are two models, the cheaper one has no fine adj on the height and for $20 more the XP has a fine adj.

    Rockwell JawStand-RK9033 - The Home Depot

    I have one of each as the XP won't go low enough for my 4x6 bandsaw and the XP is perfect for everything else. What's not readily apparent by the pix is the head tilts and also has a clamp in it made to clamp a 2x4. So when drilling something long on the drill press thats a bench mount but on a rollaway toolbox and is higher than a normal bench, I just clamp a 2x4 in the head and voila and adjustable support. I've also got other things now I clamp in it like a roller for guiding stuff on the table saw and two mounts for servicing our recumbent trikes. They have become irreplaceable in my shop.
