[Although this question applies, I'm not sure this is the best subforum for the topic. Please move if preferred.]
I'm looking at various mounting solutions for a variety of hardware including 2-way radios, microphones, cell phones, auxiliary displays, etc.
It seems to me that the ball-and-socket solutions are versatile: they offer a lot of flexibility and adjustment for organization,j ergonomics, and visibility. I'm imaging it makes sense to choose a specific ball and socket size so it is easy to swap mounts and move hardware if desired. The manufacturers I've found tend to have differing ball sizes, though. Is there a ball size that stands out?
There are many other companies, but these seem to be the most common sizes I've found. For those of you considering this, what size have you found to be the most common or have the most flexibility with options?
Thank you, Chris
