What it does

  • Ball-and-socket shape lets you angle the joint to the position you need
  • Open screw holes, so you can add your own hardware for mounting
  • Compact joint design built for small mirrors or optical parts
  • Made to order in the USA after you place your order
  • A practical shop tool for laser projects and small optical setups

Curved ball-and-socket joints give you a way to angle small mirrors or optical parts in your workshop setup. You turn the ball inside the socket to find the position you want for your project.

This mount was made for laser projects that need a small mirror held at a specific angle. It has open screw holes so you can add your own hardware, or use sticky tack like the original design intended. The socket cradles the ball shape so you can adjust the angle as your project changes.

It works well for hobbyists building laser setups, testing optics, or positioning small reflective parts on a workbench. This item is made to order in the USA after you place your order.
