Foamcore are an incredible asset for work inside and outside the studio, but there is always the question of mounting them. One way is using a reflector arm and another is holding them with pony clamps, there is even a DIY holding solution.
Photographer Tony Roslund shares another low-budget option which I really like: Using a baby plate and some gaff tape.
The nice thing about this solution is that its super low footprint on one hand and completely portable on the other.
The stud on the baby plate goes on a C-stand or a grip and the baby plate is gaffed to the foamboard. between the $10 of the foam board, and the $13 of the baby plate this is quite an affordable solution if you own a C-Stand

Vise grip board holder is a
better option, much quicker and more secure than this hack job. I made two with some scrap metal and an some old visegrips I had laying around.
