I recycle a lot of discarded materials, I had an old base for a desk lamp laying around waiting to be reuse, this was an excellent chance to put it to a good use.
I use a leg from a cheap aluminum tripod, (a "C" channel aluminum profile will do the work too)

Double Side tape
Small saw or dremel tool (to cut the channel)
Drill and bits
Screws and nuts.
