Thanks for the helpful advice, everyone!
I have a small Gorillapod--the legs are only about 11 cm when straightened out--and a relatively large desk space, I have enough room. My camera is one of those small, pocket-size digital ones (Canon Digital Ixus 9515) and it shouldn't have any problems with weight.
My main concern was about the stability, as it seemed a bit wobbly when I tried it out. (I'll definitely try using Blu-Tac, thanks for the tip StormOfCake!) I also tried making a cradle out of bricks, but I found it was very bulky and difficult to position, particularly if I wanted a diagonal or tilted view.
As it happens, I am going to be using a raised set for my upcoming film, Eco-Man: The environmentally friendly Superhero, so this should work perfectly for this set, at least.
(By the way, I posted a few pictures in the Pre-Production Forum--please feel free to check it out! )
