1. An adjustable mounting apparatus for an electronic device, comprising:
a first coupler securable to a post;
a first pivot joint rotatably connected to the first coupler about a first pivot axis and including a first gimbal that is movable about a plurality of first gimbal axes, the first gimbal having an inner gimbal member with a curved outer surface and an outer gimbal shell at least partially enclosing the inner gimbal member, the first gimbal further including a tensioner for adjusting an engagement between the outer gimbal shell and the curved outer surface of the inner gimbal member to selectively adjust frictional resistance to movement of the inner gimbal member with respect to the outer gimbal shell, the tensioner extending through a bore in the inner gimbal member; and
a second coupler that is movable with the first gimbal and securable to the electronic device,
wherein a bore wall defines the bore in the inner gimbal member, and wherein a space between the bore wall and the tensioner permits movement of the inner gimbal member about the plurality of first gimbal axes.
