Do you know how the Quadstick itself attaches to the arm? Where the ball slips into the socket? What is that called? I was thinking about trying to look into the different types of arms to hold the Quadstick. I have no idea what I would do to type in for my search. They're just looking into something that might be easier for my caregivers to help me position the Quadstick. If there was some sort of... I guess powered one? like you press a button and the quad stick moves up? I think that would be really cool but I have no idea if that exists.

The mounting ball on the back of the Quadstick is a RAM Mounts Series-B ball.

The 2 holes that are used to attach it to the back of the Quadstick follow something called the "AMPS hole pattern", commonly used with vehicle mounting hardware systems.  The holes are 1.912" center-to-center and use #10-32 screws.

RAM Mount makes literally hundreds of different components that will match up with the "B" size balls.   https://rammount.com/collections/popular-components-b-size

I would think the gooseneck arm that you can get on the Quadstick webpage would be the easiest for your caregivers to position. All it is is one long flexible arm unlike the other 2 arms on the webpage which required whoever is positioning it to loosen knobs and position the Quadstick arms before tightening the knobs.
