Rail to Payload, In One Locked Line
Every configuration follows the same chain: what changes between kits is how many segments and what connects them.
Rail Mount
"Clamps On. Never Backs Off."
The Swivel Assembly (T-Slot mounting bracket) is the patented squeeze-two-ball-halves mechanism that clamps onto standard 8020/T-slot rail using a standard T-nut, with no drilling and no adapters.
- Patented Squeeze Lock – two ball-halves clamp the rail from both sides, so vibration can't walk it loose.
- Standard T-Slot / 8020 – works with any common profile size, 1″×1″ up to 3″×3″, double/triple-wide.
- One-Time Setup – tighten it once at the rail; every adjustment after that happens further down the chain.
The rail clamp isn't going anywhere.
Extend & Position
"Every Joint Swivels. Every Lock Holds."
A mounting rod (plastic or aluminum) extends out from the rail bracket, with a ball stud at each end of every segment. An optional 90° mount (fixed or adjustable) inserts inline to change direction.
- Rod Scales to the Job – ½″ up to 2″+ diameter depending on reach and load.
- 6″ and 12″ Lengths – standard at launch, with an 18″ option and room to grow up to 24″ as demand requires.
- Ball Stud at Every End – each segment connects through a ball, not a fixed joint, so nothing you add is locked to one angle.
- Change Direction Inline – the optional 90° mount drops in between segments when a straight line won't reach.
Build the reach you need, not the one you're stuck with.
Mount Your Gear
"Grips the Ball. Swivels Free. Locks Where You Want It."
The Ball Socket Swivel Assembly (Universal mounting bracket) clamps around the far ball stud. This is where your camera, sensor, or equipment actually mounts, swiveling freely until you tighten it down.
- Multi-Axis Swivel – rotate, pitch, and adjust height all through the same joint.
- Hand-Tightened Lock – no tools required once you've found the angle.
- Wall-Mount Ready – also mounts to a flat wall with two tapped holes, independent of rail.
Set the angle by hand. It stays until you change it.
Choose Your Configuration
Six configurations across two material lines.
| Configuration | Mounting Rod | 90° Mount | Ball Studs | Universal Bracket |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kit 1: Base (Plastic) | 1× Plastic | N/A | 2× Plastic | 1× |
| Kit 2: Fixed 90° (Plastic) | 2× Plastic | Fixed | 3× Plastic + 1× Aluminum | 1× |
| Kit 3: Adjustable 90° (Plastic) | 2× Plastic | Adjustable | 3× Plastic + 1× Aluminum | 1× |
| Kit 4: Base (Aluminum) | 1× Aluminum | N/A | 2× Aluminum | 1× |
| Kit 5: Fixed 90° (Aluminum) | 2× Aluminum | Fixed | 4× Aluminum | 1× |
| Kit 6: Adjustable 90° (Aluminum) | 2× Aluminum | Adjustable | 4× Aluminum | 1× |
Plastic line: HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D-printed Nylon 12, black. Aluminum line: aluminum rod and ball studs for extra rigidity on longer reaches or heavier equipment. Note: the 90° mount kits in the plastic line (Kit 2, Kit 3) include one aluminum ball stud alongside the plastic ones. The 90° mount hardware itself uses an aluminum stud regardless of kit line.
Order 2 or more, save: volume pricing kicks in starting at 2 units. Every configuration ships unassembled with hardware bagged separately to keep packaging compact; assembly takes a 3/32″ hex wrench.
What You're Working With
Rail compatibility, rod options, and locking mechanism at a glance.
| Rail Compatibility | Standard T-slot/8020-style extrusion via a standard T-nut: any common profile size (1″×1″ up to 3″×3″, double/triple-wide). The universal bracket end also mounts to a flat wall with two tapped holes, independent of rail. |
|---|---|
| Rod Length | 6″ and 12″ standard at launch, selected independent of kit/material choice. An 18″ option is planned, with room to grow up to 24″ as demand requires. |
| Load Rating | Not a published number by design: capacity depends on rod diameter, length, and configuration (rod scales from ½″ up to 2″+ in diameter). The hand-tightened pinch lock holds its set position under vibration and repeated repositioning; contact us to discuss your specific load. |
| Adjustment Range | Multi-axis: rotate, pitch, and height, all tool-free, locking in any position via the ball-and-socket pinch lock. |
| Material / Finish | Plastic line: HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D-printed Nylon 12, black. Aluminum line: aluminum hardware for added rigidity. |
| Locking Mechanism | Hand-tightened ball-and-socket pinch lock, no tools required |
| Color | Black, standard across both lines at launch. Custom colors available at MOQ and premium pricing. |

Common Questions
Yes, individual components like the rail clamp or mounting head are also available separately in our store. If your kit arrives missing a part, contact us and we'll ship a replacement for whatever's missing.
The plastic line (HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D-printed Nylon 12, black) is lighter and sized for cameras, sensors, and lighting. The aluminum line swaps in aluminum rod and ball-stud hardware for extra rigidity on longer reaches or heavier equipment.
Standard T-slot/8020-style rail via a standard T-nut, across common profile sizes. The universal mounting bracket end also works on a flat wall with two tapped holes, independent of rail.
We don't publish a maximum load spec: it depends on rod diameter, length, and configuration. Once hand-tightened, the pinch lock holds its set position under vibration and repeated repositioning. Contact us to talk through your specific application.
Standard rod lengths are 6″ and 12″ at launch (an 18″ option is planned, with room to grow up to 24″), and the rod itself scales from ½″ up to 2″+ in diameter. Custom colors are available at MOQ with premium pricing (black is standard at launch). Contact us for volume and custom-spec pricing.
No, every configuration ships unassembled, with all hardware bagged separately, to keep packaging compact. Assembly is quick and only requires a 3/32″ hex/Allen wrench.
