A cheap tripod ballhead mount like the Benro should be the easiest solution. I have a 400€ magnesium ballhead on mine, but I probably wouldn't sacrifice it for my printer
Cheapest solution with similar effect: Two plates on top of each other with some space in between and a spring tensioned bolt on each of the 4 corners.
One problem with affordable tripod ballheads might be that they tend to move a bit when you tighten them. (Even the not so affordable ones actually)

With an opto endstop, we need to eliminate as much error as possible.
Most of the ball joints I have found are for offroad applications and weigh upwards of 5 pounds. I cant hang something like that a few inches off my z axis plate with a lead screw. It will work but never last.
Will update if I find anything.

I have been reading a lot about build platforms. It seems an easy solution to getting your first layer to a mechanically flat layer would be to incorporate some sort of ball join system.
If you go here and go to step 19 you can see what I am talking about.

Its pretty clever. Anyone know where to get a ball join system that I can mount to my buildpate?
Anyone doing this yet?
