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

cdev:
That looks very professional. Those adjustable/articulated arms look ideal.
jadew:
Wouldn't it be simpler to just solder a small wire? Probably takes a lot less than trying to position some whacky probe holder.

At the risk of self promotion, I wanted to share some ideas:

We built our own "probing pcb",build details found here: http://pcbgrip.com/blogs/blog/19160631-building-a-probing-pcb.   Basically building a simple PCB that connects pogo pins at your custom spacing location to a standard 0.1" header and you connect your test gear to the header.   Custom probing PCBs could be built inexpensively to suit your own needs:



In this picture you can also see a pogo pin (with head shrink) being held, with the test gear attached to the pogo.

If your looking to hold a probe, this is another option, which can be found here: http://pcbgrip.com/collections/fittings/products/probe-clamp



cyr:
The PCBGRIP parts to do work nicely with small scope probes,  a little fiddly to get into the right position sometimes but hold very well. If you use the stand you can even probe both sides of a board.

Don't worry about promoting good ideas :) If push-comes-to-shove you can say something about "eating my own dogfood" or "believing in what I promote" :)

More seriously, how well does/doesn't it work with scope probes that don't have pogo pins?
Ditto, if you can't use a 6" ground lead because of its inductance, and have to use a probe plus its ground spring clip?
