Desktop mic stand for live rig?

My current live rig for a synthy 80s alt/punk/indie band uses a sturdy folding table with all my gear on top besides the amp. The main pieces are Sub 25, Modwave, and Digitakt all laid out in that order, along with some effects that sit on raised stands behind the instruments. I want to add vocals to the mix. I'd either be singing lead, backup, or vocoder stuff on half the songs, so mic placement is important. I don't want to be having to stand up or lean into stuff as that would affect my keyboard playing.

I have a cheap amazon desktop stand that works for home, but it weighs a ton and doesn't reach to get close enough to me when I put it behind the synths. Also the heavy base it sits on makes it awkward to put between the synths. I wanted to see if other people have experience with this and what they'd recommend. I'd be open to something that clips to the table or other gear, something that is flexible, or even a standup next to me that I can adjust. I don't really know what the best solution would be. I don't want something that easily tips over or costs more than $100 (although I could be maybe convinced on the latter depending on what it is).
