They sell a Panavise Jr (Model 201) for about $20 US--a good inexpensive one for getting started. If it tips over, just screw it to a board. They also make a wide range of PCB holders, bases, etc. Their Multi-Purpose Work Center - Model 350 is great. Most everything is interchangable (swap out bases, mounts, etc) so their stuff is a great long-term investment. In general, good tools are a wise thing to spend money on. A good tool will save you a LOT of time and annoyance. Plus, a solid tool will last a lifetime. A good investment would be some Panavise equipment.
