I just put this Minifig Vending Machine together, and Id love to put it on a stand more like you'd see with real ones in a store.

Original plan was to find a pole stand, but taller and light weight. But turns out I have a spare cymbal stand, which has threads like a tripod. So are there any Lego or Lego compatible bricks out there that are meant to go on a tripod, for like a custom mount?

This person's solution is perfect, but it's not for sale. https://share.google/KxtoYTH03dCRdAMYM

Or just a lighter taller "home" version of a gumball pole stand?

For reference and adulation:

I wonder if it would be possible to 3D print an interface piece similar to the metal one in the blogpost you shared?

Yeah Im considering it. There's a few machine shops near me that do small projects, prototyping, and 3D printing.
