Design and construction

The Super Knuckle uses a die-cast aluminum alloy shell, along with aluminum ball heads and an aluminum knob, which together make the unit sturdy yet lightweight. Additionally, the standard Dia. 26mm ball head has a hard anodized, serrated surface that the shell can grab more securely. This surface treatment also improves weather resistance.

• A built-in silicon rubber sleeve holds the unit together while you change the ball head, making swaps easier and more secure during maintenance or reconfiguration.
• The double sockets and ball heads let you interchange various components for different mounting needs.
