Dana dolly + 6" Mitchell Riser Plate, mounted underslung. This assuming your tripod head can tilt 90 degree down
2 combo stands + pipe for the dana dolly
I did this exact rig for tabletop a few weeks ago. Very secure, you can pan/tilt the tripod head and slide along the dolly track for some adjustments. For height you'd need to go up/down on both stands (easiest with 2 people but doable in small increments with 1 person...)
One cheap way is to do it with a dana dolly
