Materials & build quality are great. Very solid little unit. Smooth to touch. The dial requires minimal turning to tighten or loosen in order to articulate the joints. Both ends have padded surfaces to protect attached devices and provide grip. Easy to articulate angle and rotate freely when joints are loosened. Not that it matters, but in addition to the materials being very solid and the finish feeling nice - the unit also just looks really nice. Between the colors and materials - and the design. It's quite small too, so it's not a hassle to pack it into a travel kit. My only complaint is that when you loosen the lever, both joints become loose and articulate. You can't just loosen one end to articulate them individually. Not a huge problem, but the one minor design flaw that could have been better from my perspective.

Likes:
- Solid quality materials.
- The finish feels nice.
- Nice looking finish and colors.
- Compact design.
- Easy to loosen or tighten lever in order to articulate the joints freely or lock them in position.

Dislikes:
- Loosening the dial makes both joints loose, so you can't really just loosen one at a time to articulate individually.
