The clamp mounts aren’t the best tbh, but they work. They were only £10 so may be worth spending a bit more for some better ones.
These things already exist on Amazon for £12 UK. The picture shows a go pro on it but it has a 3/4" thread and I've been using it since Rift launched.

IMO the best tool is a clamp with a flexible arm.
It works best because it grips tightly to any solid pole, such as a back fence post. Also assuming the post is straight, you can set up the camera angle low down, then just move the clamp up as high as you can reach for the best angle.
Most of them are made for gopros but they’ll take a mobile mount as well.
I have this, obviously you should be able to get the same in another country: Clamp Mount for Gopro Fusion, Hero 6... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00NIBQXGS?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
I got this one which is similar http://www.amazon.com/CamKix-Session-Silver-Compact-Cameras/dp/B00NIBQXGS/
It's very sturdy but the clamping force was too strong to use on my monitor bezel. I thought it was going to break something. Might be good on a shelf or something like that. I couldn't find a "universal webcam mount" with a 1/4-20 anywhere, which I thought was kinda weird.
I want to do this too. My TV is wall mounted so I'm thinking I can clip this to the mount behind the TV and pop it up to the top?

I use something like this. It has the advantage to be extremely small and lightweight. It has the drawbacks of requiring an elevated point to mount both of them where you will play, and that those mounting points must be adapted so that the pliers will get a good grip on them. I bought mine from Amazon.
You could get something like this:

I'm using one similar to that perfectly fine
This could work, assuming the clip opens wide enough to clip onto the monitor arms. Maybe you could clip it on to VESA plate?
There are cheap pairs you can find on amazon for about $35-40. I ordered a pair but was unhappy with the amount of wobble when extended at max height. Now returning those, I ended up spending a bit more for quality, these are the best I found. IMO, it's worth investing a bit more for something sturdy and quality built.
I have a shelf as well which this clamp will work nicely.
Sorry about the bad background. Mount purchased here.
I found this clamp quite useful on my holiday to Bali:

For a 5 day trip 32gb might be enough, but if you are filming 2.7k or 4k protune (which you should), then 64gb would be safer.
As for a spare battery, I guess it depends on how long you will be filming for at a time. I was fine with just the one battery and a battery pack (which I didn't use much) on my trip.
