I can't help with make or style, but I suggest a mike that can be
attached to the camera position on the cross bar of a large format
camera stand, maybe via tripod screw. These stands have lockable
wheels but are very stable. This allows the stand to be some
distance away from the object. While I have a wall mounted stand
with counterweight for normal work, I find the large stand very
useful for large flat objects.
