Androokie Rotating Ball Mount Head (1/4-inch female to 1/4-inch male)
The Androokie Rotating Ball Mount Head is a compact positioning accessory designed for precise light placement in film and production environments. Inspired by traditional photography ball heads, it has been adapted for lighting rigs where strength, repeatability, and controlled adjustment are important.
At the core of the design is a smooth rotating ball that allows for a wide range of tilt and rotation angles. This version includes two cutouts in the mount housing, which allow the ball to articulate further than standard designs and provide a wider usable range of motion when angling fixtures. Once positioned, the locking screw securely clamps the ball in place, preventing drift or movement during operation.
This version features a 1/4-inch female thread on one end and a 1/4-inch male thread on the other, making it compatible with a wide range of magnets, mounting plates, and fixtures that rely on standard 1/4-inch hardware. It’s a straightforward way to add articulation without stacking adapters.
The mount uses metal internal components for durability and consistent performance over time. An engraved rotation index marked in 5-degree increments allows for repeatable positioning and controlled adjustments when precision matters.
This is a practical, no-nonsense mounting tool for adding flexibility to magnetic or threaded lighting setups.
