I get that this may already be too late, but have you considered contractor poles?
They take up way less space than tripods and might be cheaper too.
I only found out after ordering a pair of tripods... soo.. anyone wanna buy a pair of unused tripods? 😅
You should think about either getting tripods or contractor/builders poles instead. Those things are going to vibrate like nobodies business and shake your entire vr world.
poles like this would be more compact and space saving

Not bad. I've used a couple of light stands (which suck for getting bumped into/taking up floor space) and mounted them on claims to these babies (which are a bit on the pricey side) and I've gotta say, I like the ease of your solution. Lighthouses are about twice the weight of the heaviest GoPro Hero so you're lucky that the necks don't end up slipping. Guess the ones you picked are rated for heavier weights!
Do you have the necks extended much or are they kind of coiled up in one place to even out weight distribution?
In the Vive Pre setup pdf, they recommend using these support poles with clamp mounts.
Another option would be getting some double sided tape and using it to adhere a couple boards to the wall, then mounting the base stations on the boards. Again - might have an issue with ripping the paint off your walls when you try to move the base stations.

Both are officially recommended by valve, and can be mounted in a million different ways
I got a set of the Fastcap poles mentioned in the Vive developer docs. They're not spring-loaded but they're very heavy-duty -- you could probably crack the ceiling if you put it between joists and kept cranking the handle. Two or three of them had issues where they would bind up while trying to extend them, which was mostly resolved by twisting the rod a bit (for example one rod had some scratches that were catching on the mechanism). I suspect the rubber pads will leave marks on carpet and paint if left in position long-term, so I'll probably do something like wrap them in plastic.
The cheap clamp mount mentioned in the docs gets bad reviews on Amazon so I tried a different (also cheap) model and I'm not crazy about that either, so I ordered some RAM arms which are not cheap but I know will be very stable.
