Search ebay for “quick release swivel ball joints”... or google “bearing boys” plenty available in different sizes for just a fistful of £s then you can make up your own stays exactly like, but at a fraction of the cost, of commercial ones.

I used item QM5 from bearingboys.co.uk in conjunction with M5 hex connectors from ScrewFix and 6mm dia aluminium alloy rods from Amazon subsequently threaded M5 at each end.
A ball housing with threaded rod, also from bearingboys, provides support with rotation facility at the base of the rod.
Can’t remember exactly how much, but in the order of £20 and a few pleasant hours at the workbench.
PM me for photos as unfortunately I need a numpties guide on how to post pics on TM!
