    I've said for years that if someone could make these things and have them be universally adjustable, they could make some dough if they marketed them right.

    IT Pivot Point, Maybe

    One of the most difficult problems with designing a pivot point for a an IT is finding a suitable pivot that does not have an offset from horizontal to vertical. In the case of gate hinges, there is usally a big difference.

    I started thinking of camera mounts today and started looking around. This is called a Shill Mini Ball Head (under $8). The whole unit is 2" tall. The knotch on the left allows for a true 90 degree placement. It has 1/4" female threads at the base and1/4" male threads for the arm. Get rid of the plastic on the arm, the locking device on the side and attach the swivel to a properly recessed wooden brick. Perfect dead center of the dome at floor level. No need to adjust for a perfect hemi. Anyways, I bet I could hack it .
