The first clamping arm comprises a base portion, a tip portion, a joint movably coupling the tip portion to the base portion, and a locking member adapted to lock the joint so as to fasten a position of the tip portion relative to the base portion. The joint is a revolute joint having a spherical portion which can be locked into position by a clamping force.
