The Wenger tuba tamer is what Sumner Erickson uses in the back of the Pittsburgh Symphony. I think he bought his direct (two for him -- one for Heinz Hall and one for his residence -- and two for Carnegie Mellon University), but most high school band programs have them floating around, you might get a lucky deal at a public school near you.

They are quite heavy and not terribly portable, but they are completely adjustable and can take all the weight of the horn, leaving you with all kinds of relaxed muscles to play with.

BTW, Sumner and his students pull the stand onto two legs to allow for movement. I personally discovered this technique to be vital for anyone six feet tall or taller.
