I use this primarily to be able to position/turn a stereo bar at the top of a microphone stand. Some other uses over the years as well ...
I actually have two of those. The second one rarely gets used but I'm always happy to have it with me just in case I need to position a microphone in a certain unnatural position.
Just watch out, there is a version with 1/4" male thread which almost looks the same! I accidentally bought such one.
Pros:
- Comes in handy unexpectedly
- Possibility to position a microphone (or stereo bar) in almost any thinkable position
Cons: I don't have any

Very well built

All metal construction feels very sturdy and well built
Operation is smooth and precise, when unlocking the dial both the ball joint and the lower mounting thread free up for precise adjustment in all directions.
I use it at the end of a low boom stand where I mount a K&M 23550 stereo bar with two pencil mic, the ball end allows horizontal operation of the stereo bar no matter the angle of the boom.
The ball screw is 3/8 inch and the female bottom thread is also 3/8. A 1/4 inch female adapter is included.

Good little Ball & Socket adapter, very well made.

Bought a couple of these for use with low level tripods to mount a couple of the T-Box MA5 monitors. Very well made and exceptionally strong for their size. We took the adapter out of the base and they mounted directly onto the stands with a 3/8th thread. The adapter for the MA5 then screwed directly onto the top of the Ball & Socket joint, making a multitude of positions instantly available.

Well made but not that useful

This mount appears to be a ball or universal joint but it's really more like a hinge. It has 90 degrees of movement in one plane but very little side movement in the other. The materials are strong and the machining accurate, the clamp always works well and there are no signs of poor manufacturing, but the design seems disappointing when you find how limiting it is to use. There is 90 degrees movement not 180 in the main plane too, so that's even more limiting. I was hoping to use it with a stereo bar for microphones so I could angle the bar better when I had limited positions for the mic stand, but found it disappointing. I would prefer a simple 180 degree swivel without the few degrees of side travel that just make it feel loose.
