- Most tripods are heavy, difficult to carry and slow to set up, causing many missed photo opportunities. The ZipShot Mini Tripod is the answer to this problem! Just release the two red shock cords and the legs of the ZipShot Mini spring open in seconds. The ZipShot Mini is ultra lightweight (only 9 oz.) and ultra compact (only 9" when folded). It assembles to a height of 28". Constructed of sturdy, high-quality aluminum with a heavy-duty, metal ball-head, it will hold a DSLR with lens attached (up to 3 lbs. total weight), a mirrorless camera with lens attached, point & shoot camera, most camcorders, and flashes. A single release lever allows the camera to be positioned at any angle so vertical and horizontal shots are easy.

I sold my 5D classic and shoot with this exclusively now, it has completely changed my possibilities as I ALWAYS have this kit with me. I'll likely get a 6D of 5D mkIII for video in the next year though.
It sounds like what you really need is a tripod for the switch - Though these can be a little bulky / expensive for decent ones...
You could get something like this in combination with a tablet mount, or just get one intended for the purpose for a cheaper price but probably lower quality.
Something a bit more unique and less bulky but might be too high.
Or maybe a monopod which would offer less stability but be easier to use - You could play around with attaching a standard monopod to the inside of a backpack to use as the base support too, though I'm not sure how well it would work.
I bought and used this on my last trip.. Along with a Bluetooth remote and cell phone adapter, it's cheap and doesn't take much space at all. It's like the size of a flashlight when folded up: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00488B4YG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_xoznyb7XA1BTY
