I like this solution.

Poles

Mounts


EDIT(Changed a word)

Contractor pole

Mount

The pole has a mechanical lock and you rotate it to tighten. Other cheap poles that have a pump mechanism will apparently break after 1-10 uses, according to my research.

I have them attached with one of these

I also rent and I used a solution in the thread on the Vive sub called "Anyone found good Lighthouse tripods/stands?" (can't link directly because of this sub's rules).

The way that solution works is you get this 2-pack of 3rd hand supports which are not monopods but stand from floor to ceiling. Then you get two of these bicycle/motorcycle mounts to mount the sensors with.

Now I had a couple of problems come up in the shipping of the mounts. The first was that the package was stolen. The second was that I'd accidentally only ordered one. Due to the delay, when I discovered my error I'd already started working on more of an ad-hoc solution. With a trip to your local hardware store you can build a mount solution for those poles that is also really sturdy. Someone who used this solution (again, on reddit so I can't provide a link) used foam insulation tape to cushion the pole from the screw.

I bought 2 of these and 2 of these. I plan on painting the poles or something to look less constructiony, but it actually doesn't look that bad and now my VR system is mobile and I can have the lighthouses set perfectly. For $75 its worth it. Oh and I also wrap the cord around the pole going up to the lighthouse so I don't have an ugly cord stretched all diagonally along the wall.

I just found this one too.

Its 3 times as much but says it holds up to 30 pounds. I never considered the vibration effect. I think I will actually order this stuff and give it a try. Ill just put a pillow under the lighthouses in case they fall. Maybe not a permanent solution but if it works fine for a day or 2 I will know I can use it for parties at other peoples houses.

I also found these as well. A retractable pole that should reach most ceilings. and a bar grip with a camera mount on the end. It will screw right in lighthouses

The only thing I dont like about these is that it makes the Vive that much less portable and a much bigger investment.

you could mount your lighthouses using Contractor Poles and Camera Pole Mounts.
