As suggested, get a banjo stand
It doesn’t amaze me that people want you to know what THEY do

Get a stand
Well, I successfully stood for our show today. With the distributed two strap system that I concocted, I felt fine at the end. This was the first show that I stood up for in about 5 years. I posted photographs up above.
A hoop banjo or prewar ball bearing are quite a bit lighter. Style 1 or 100 gibson. I play a 1926 ball bearing and it is so much more comfortable than full tone ring banjo
The trapezius muscle holds the shoulders up and raises them. Exercise this muscle and holding a banjo is much easier. Hold a dumbell in each hand down by your sides, and raise and lower your shoulders only. Start with low weight and work up to a higher weight. You'll want to work up to at least 25 lbs in each hand for ten to twelve reps. Works for me, and I'm 80 years old.
