A gooseneck rather than an articulated design might be good. I was wondering about this item. It's meant for phones/tablets, but some reviewers complain that it's too stiff/strong so maybe OK for this application? Any suggestions welcome! Robin. How about a microphone gooseneck. Fairly standard and available in different lengths. Fittings are available for the threaded ends. From electrical suppliers (CPC, Farnell or Amazon). Home made job for lathe using a cheap pond lamp housing. Made years ago so possibly not available now. Construction details * HERE * John
