Easier than a tripod is to screw some shelf standards to the wall of your darkroom and use those to hold the camera. Then you can easily move the shelf brackets up or down to crop or enlarge. Mine is in a closet, and when I am finished I take the table and the camera brackets and easel and unit and store it all in a box in the closet.
Happy New Year!
