Interesting to see how others solve this issue.

One of my favourite solutions is shown here - it uses a $1 hockey puck as a nice solid non-slip base. It fits the meter snugly enough that the base comes with the meter if you pick up the meter. Note how it raises the meter just enough for the leads to have a reasonable radius. Actually the only reason why I still use this old low cost meter is because the stand works so well. I have discovered hockey pucks are surprisingly easy to carve....they also make good business card holders.

Great idea.

Simple and easy is always the best way to go.

The classic solution that improve at about no cost. Very nice !

I have adopted something like this; I have only two standard meters, slightly different and a ohmeter but the concept is perfectly represented here. In Ibiza instead of the bookstands I have found Plexy supports for back plates that fit in the same way, also used for a tablet used to measure the usb connection status; formerly the USB status monitor.
