I've been thinking that a laptop tripod would be nice. Googling around, I see that there are some out there, but they are too short and look too flimsy.
I think a solution could be rigged up with a good, sturdy surveying tripod.

You could probably find a used astronomy tripod (used to hold a large telescope and then position it precisely) that's out of spec for astronomy use but that would hold your laptop just fine.
