I am just a bit of a sucker for inovation and utility and I just haven't seen a rod holder that allows multi angles while still relatively flush with the deck and of course slide it out to give full 360 degree rotation. A limitation however that some of the surface mounted ones have like the Cisco etc is the ability to lay flat if needed and that can be handy also.
The ball and socket is a proven design, me being an ex drummer, many of my kits used that type of mount with quite a lot of weight and belting them around so it should be good and durable if quality components are used. Some of those fittings were expensive too by the way..
Do you know of any keener pricing on them or can they only be bought from one supplier.
Anyway I appreciate your taking the time to comment.
