I needed an adjustable mount for another project, something that will be able to hold a few hundred grams or more and take a bit of a vibration....so I came up with this design.
**The tolerances are pretty tight on this, so any part with a thread (nut and socket) I would print at 0.1mm, or increase the size of all the parts**
There is a short video showing a quick demonstration of the parts.

The ball and socket is nothing new, inspiration was taken from a Manfrotto camera mount and a cheap Ebay car windscreen mount for my phone. The ball jointed end can be easily redesigned to any length to meet your needs, but I have included a few variations and this is the same for the socket and ball combination.
The socket is sized to 15.3mm in diameter and the ball to 15mm, there is also a small ridge in the socket that gives a satisfying click when the ball is inserted. The shaft diameter is 8mm in all cases, this can be increased or decreased dependin
