Spotting scope bench stand

Who makes the best bench mounted stand for a spotter? I looked at the Sinclair, and do not like it. Want something more substantial for heavy spotter. Thanks.
 
The Sinclair is actually very nice and more substantial than it looks in the picture and is rigid when clamped to a solid bench as the plates are metal (aluminum?) and clamps securely and is well engineered.
Also takes down fast and packs small my buddy uses one for spotting rimfire holes at 100 yards with a big scope.
I made one similar out of 3/4" galv. tubing using a $12. generic pipe clamp and a Freeland universal swivel head and it is even more rigid (overbuilt but I like it) and is indestructible and holds like a rock but looks a little Home Depot'esque but sure does the job and holds secure like nothing else you can buy.
Tried the table top models but they all vibrated or had movement compared to the clamp type.
