I'm wondering what commercially made upper truss tube connectors people prefer for 1.25" tubing.
I'm considering the Moonlight ball and socket connectors and the Obsession cam-lock type.
The Moonlight appears a bit tighter and more stable, but that's just from the looks.

Having used both, I would select the ball & socket system by a Moonlight mile.

I like the Moonlite system.
