Do you have a clamp mount of any kind? If not you might want to consider
getting one--gives you options beyond a tripod that can be very convenient
when floor space is at a premium. Take a look at a Bogen/Manfrodo 2929 and
the associated 2915 Super Clamp and next time you're in the bar see if you
can find a place where you could mount the camera using that combination
and I think you'll be surprised at the number of options you see.
