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

That looks very professional. Those adjustable/articulated arms look ideal. |

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 |

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. |

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? |
