Flex arm vs ball and joint for snoot/macro, and adapters

[puncho]

I am planning on using a snoot video light to capture some macro footage. It seems from pictures that a lot of setups use flex arms for the snoot. I have the dive tray with a 1" ball on the handle. Is there an adapter that i can use to join my existing locline flexarms to it? Would ball and joint arms be better? Why don't they seem as common? Thanks

It looks like you should be able to attach a Locline base directly to the ball and then attach the two balls with a clamp. Or you could simplly remove the ball from the handle and install a Locline base in its place.
