Looking for a heavy tripod for music events

[Joshua Miner]

Hey folks,

I've recently been asked to record a bunch of live music events in crowded nightclubs, and I'm trying to find a good way of nailing down a camera to prevent shaking from people dancing close to it. There are some heavy duty rail pipes on the ceiling, but I don't have access (or a portable ladder small enough) to get up there.

 

I've tried doing a Google search but due to the terms I get a lot of unrelated things. Due to the venue I'm unable to corral the tripods away from patrons. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
