Honestly though, I shoot tethered all the time and would not want my computer on the same stand as my camera. Of course there is a slight possibility of knocking both over, but more importantly the vibration from messing around on the computer will move the camera.
It would also require the camera and computer to be at the same height. I keep my computer on a wheeled stand and my camera eithe on my regular tripod or on the end of a grip arm on a c stand. There might have been a time or two when something like that would work, but literally 98 or more percent of the time the camera is not where I would want the computer.
But as they say, your mileage may vary.
