@MattRendar: The "joint" came with my arm set.
Sorry, but it didn't have a name or a part number so a simple call it "joint".
You should be able to find it in a camera/video store.
And yes, this "joint" is NOT SA, but it gives a nice extra flexibility.

I'm also playing with other parts that came with my 6000er ARM set. If you look at different photo camera tripods I’m sure you can find other options.

BTW: Nice “dead counter” on Diana.

If you want to go with the ball joint idea check mcmastercarr. The gun I'm building you will come with its own socket.

Scroll down to the ball grip arms.

The "Ball-Grip" connector/Ends are great Matt, thanks for sharing.

Many thanks Matt and Happy New Year, hope it will be a good one for you.
And yes, I would like to have a M56 with a Ball end, that would be perfect!
