Advice on mounting flashlight (Sofrin Q8 Plus) onto something like a tripod?

Hi Reddit,

I bought myself a 18000 lumen flashlight called the Sofrin Q8 Plus that I want to use for unclogging storm drains at night.

Right now, I have the flashlight sitting precariously on a phone holder attached to a tripod. It is NOT secure whatsoever. I was wondering if people have any suggestions or ideas on how I could have the flashlight safely mounted on something like a tripod.

For people who are curious, the tube and head of the flashlight have a diameter of 54mm and 63mm respectively.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I was reading up about wildfires in the Bay Area. In a Wikipedia article about the Oakland firestorm of 1991, I stumbled upon this paragraph.

One of the most famous victims who lost his house in the disaster was game designer Will Wright, who lived a few blocks away from where the fire started. He used his experience of rebuilding his life as the basis for the concept of the Maxis computer game series The Sims, and added the city's recovery from the fire as a scenario in the game SimCity 2000.

It is inspiring, not going to lie. What do you all think?
