Here is my solution which I printed with a 3D printer.

Do you have any kind of vise to keep your work in one place?

They are what I use the most.

For example, a panavise Jr., and "stick vise" (holds small boards flat - and down, all metal, found on ebay for around $5) both hold fairly small PCBs and get a lot of use. I also have a full size Panavise for larger projects - when I am working on one.. (not as often)

Personal preferences for what I used so far:

OK, this is not same as helping hands but I find it useful.
Simple small vice with pins that are relocatable. It holds small PCBs really well.
All metal construction, it's solid, heavy enough to stay put.

By far, these are the best third-hand holders I've ever used, originally for jewelry makers:

The clips are are precision-made (no floppy alligator clips), and the joints stay exactly where you position them with no back-sliding.  I have both the "short" and the "standard" model with individual bases.  Not cheap, but highly recommended.

I bought mine through Amazon.
