This flashlight mount is nice, and it secures your flashlight nicely. You will have to check for size compatibility to make sure it will work with your flashlight.
Pros: None.
Cons: The main problem is the flashlight holding mechanism. It is a simple uncontained ratchet. This means that the smallest amount of flex outwards will disengage the ratchet, allowing it loosen or open completely. Most 18650 lights are too narrow, exacerbating this issue. bumpy roads will cause this to occur. When riding, every 10 - 15 minutes i need to stop and remount my light.Also, as others have mentioned, it is made from plastic and not very sturdy. No rubber mounting strip is provided, and the bar mount is far too large. Cut some strips of an old inner tube to solve this.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: don't buy it. it does not hold flashlights securely.
Pros: None
Cons: the screw for the bottom bracket is plastic so it is too flexible. To tighten it firmly enough so it doesn't rotate, the screw will become bent. Not good for long term durability.The ratchet bracket for holding the torch is too flexible so it won't hold the torch firmly. Fine on super smooth road but any bumps and you could be saying bye bye to your torch.
Other Thoughts: Plastic, plastic, plastic. Too flexible, in critical areas makes this bracket useless.
Bottomline: Don't waste your money on this. Get the SKU15642 bracket from DX. If it fits your torch, it functions much better.
Pros: Barato. La verdad es que cumple con su funcion aunque no se le puede pedir mas por ese precio.Sujeta bien las linternas de los grosores que acepta y las mas finas se pueden suplementar con extras de tiras de goma o materiales parecidos
Cons: Le he tenido que cambiar el tornillo para darle mas sujeccion, porque el que trae es flojo y no sujeta correctamente
Other Thoughts: Por ese precio y para un uso urbano, sin mucho traqueteo va bien. Si hay mucho adoquin o baches se mueve algo y aseguraria aun mas la linterna
Bottomline: Nada que añadir a lo comentado anteriormente
Pros: It's cheap. Works great on thicker parts of a bicycle and fat lights like those 3xAAA 9-LED lights.
Cons: I'm not sure if there are different sizes to handlebars in Asia or Europe, but on all the bikes we have here in the USA, the clamp is too big. If they included a strip of rubber or some other kind of spacer, it would have been helpful.Beware that this doesn't work with smaller lights. I just got the Romisen RC-G2, and it barely clamps around the crown. The WF-606A was the same way. Since these are just plastic, they really need to be clamped at the balanced point in the middle of the torch. You either have to put a spacer of some sort in there, or use a bigger light. That's a lot of hassle, in my opinion.
Other Thoughts: While I really liked the price, SKU 13004 is a better value. Yeah, it's 4 times as much but it is much stronger and can clamp down on both big lights and little, and on fairly big handlebars or little.
Bottomline: While it has a great price tag, it is quite limited in it's application. If you're serious about a flashlight bicycle clamp, go for SKU 13004.
