Pros: 1. Simple
2. Holds 3AAA and 18650 lights
3. Oh, it's simple
4. Flashlights don't fall out
Cons: 1. no angle adjustment
2. it's not made out of gold
3. doesn't come with a 50 dollar flashlight, included for free
4. I wish they at least included some cash with the flashlight.
Other Thoughts: I likie this one the best. It holds the flashlight and it attached to the handlebars. I haven't had flashlight fall out of it.
Bottomline: This is one of those areas of products, where the simpler they are the better they are. And this products is simply it. I've bought every single flashlight holder on DX. And I like this one the most.
surprisingly great!

Pros: holds my sku.14212 very securely. was very surprised! i have ordered most of the other bike-mounts here so i could compare, this is the first that arrived, and i think i didnt have to order the other ones, this one quite perfect!
Cons: - the mount to the handlebar isnt as good as the rest, but i think it would be difficult to design something better (at this price) with this (otherwise awesome) material.
- you'll have to put something inbetween for smaller lights (cr123 etc.). not really a problem for me, i need 18650's for longer runtime anyway.
Other Thoughts: i'm looking forward to the arrival of the fenix-mount, so i can compare, but i don't expect it to be any better. also the price of this mount is much better.
Bottomline: great mount, get it! if you're overwhelmed by the choice of bikemounts here, this is a perfect first buy, and you most probably wont need another one.
Perfect solution is always simple

Pros: * 2 different thickness rubber shims allows to adjust bar thickness (or you can use to fix smaller flashlights).
* on touch it feels like rubber, so i believe that it will not snap easily as other mounts
* screw is made from metal
* easy to install/remove flashlight when you need
* easy to install mount on a bike (to pass flashlight to another biker)
Cons: * doesn't fit big handlebars (e.g. default GT Avalanche bars. You can not mount it near stem)
Bottomline: I've bought several mounts from DX and these are the best! I am using these mounts with MTE SSC P7 flashlights on Jamis Durango and they fit perfectly.
great price

Pros: For this price how can you complain?
I bought 3 of them and they hold a p60 host on an ATV very well.
Very simple design, and easy to use.
Holds flashlight very firm, and stood the offroad test 100%.
Easy to remove light if you need to, unlike the other units that have to be undone to get at it.
Cons: Like I said, how can you have any cons about this.
I would pay double if I had to for this item.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: If you need a light holder for anything you can attach this to, it is an amazing item to have, and the price is right.
