My portable VR days are over, but the Amazon reconfigurable camera bag was a cheap-ish godsend.

Long ago, I moved from camera/light tripods to heavy duty clamps for the Lighthouses. Less wobble in use, smaller (fit in the bag!), and less fiddly to set up. You just need any shelves near your playspace. They even work vertically - clamped on the side wall of a bookshelf. That's one of my permanent Lighthouse mounts!

My 2016 Amazon orders don't link to items anymore. But the clamps I got over the years were identical from a varitey of changing brands. Start with one of these, see if you like it:

The reconfigurable bag appears to not exist any more. This bundled looks right, but I think it's the slightly smaller version than mine.
