PEDCOUltraMount Ball and Socket Head, Black

I bought this mount for my Drift Hd 1080 camera and it worked out good -even in a 160 MPH wind as it mounts in a panel under the wing.

What a nifty, well-engineered little device! It has a 1/4" 20 stud for the camera, and a 1/4" 20 threaded nut to mount on the bottom. This work perfectly with my application, and is not standard for most camera devices, which use a 3/8" mount on the bottom.There is only one ball, at the upper joint. The lower joint is a hinge, which moves in only one plane, which greatly simplifies adjustments. The large knob is fixed at the other end with a c-clip which prevents removing the bolt, completely, and should keep it from falling out, should it work loose. The plastic ball and socket easily lock tightly enough to hold even fairly large cameras. I used it with a small action-oriented video camera, and it didn't move, at all. Any point-and-shoot, and most small video or DSLR cameras should be pretty secure.The unit is lightweight, and very strong for its size. I use it on a monopod, and a small one-hand handle, and it makes it very easy to adjust the camera position for a variety of angles and directions, without having to change how the handle or monopod is carried.I'll get a few more, just to have a lifetime supply!

A must if you have a GoPro or Smart Phone and you want to mount it on a tripod or Joby Gorilla Pod ( I recommend the magnetic one)... Don't use in salt water. Mine ceased after ocean use.

The quality is very good for the price. My only desire is that it had a ball joint on both ends. Otherwise, great product.

OK for light items. Does not hold under heavy loads.

Nothing to corrode, but even brass and aluminun will corrode if not washed in fresh water and the lubed. Its simple, cheap, and I needed some of them to mount on a PVC pipe bolted to an end cap, to dip for video in salt water. Works for me, NOT a nice tripod head for a large camera. Its great for DIY uses.

This device is less plastic-y and more densely manufactured that what I expected based on the image of it here at Amazon. It works wonderfully to help me to adjust an action cam on a softball field backstop where it allows me a wide range of adjustment in aiming the camera thru the chain link fence diamonds.

I love these mounts. They're solid, cheap, light, corrosive resistant and have a million uses - great bang for your buck. I've ordered several of them and am sure I'll be back for more!
