I need a better (cheap) probe(holder) for measuring signals on arbitrary devices

Someone posted their Kickstarter campaign above but now you can buy whatever bits you need and DIY - http://pcbgrip.com/collections/fittings

I use the Rigol probe brackets. They came together with the probes of the DS6000 series.
The Rigol product number for the bracket only is RP5600A-0200701, I don't know the price.
I like them very much. It gets a little crowded when you want to use 3 or 4 probes on a QFP-64...

There is also a nice ground blade that connects to a piece of copper tape you mount on the IC for your ground connection when using the caps.

I 3D printed something similar for my existing 150MHz probes, and the result is electrically better: no ringing at 100MHz. HP produced similar devices for "500MHz" probes. With low-impedance Z0 probes similar techniques are available for 1.5GHz probes.  (I've just received a version in nylon from Shapeways, but haven't verified its performance yet, but see no reason that it would be any worse.)

You can use those spring clamp things you get from the DIY store.

I am using a granite measurement table that has a quick adjustment arm installed.
This arm came with a holder for a micro gauge and one of the holes fitted perfectly for an Agilent scope probe.
