Step 6: Mounting

Zip tie the plate to the helmet. You'll want to get it good and tight. If its not, your light will be wobbly and lame.
Mount the flashlight to the arm and slide onto the plate.  You're almost ready to go!
Note the screw on the mounting arm.  Loosen and adjust the pitch to put the beam where you need it. Then snug it down.  You may need to adjust on the fly so don't crank it down too tight!

Being out on the trails with darkness setting in can be exciting. Being out there in the dark, fumbling  with your light rig is not!
Keep the light in your hydration pack or jersey pocket. When it starts getting sketchy, just click it in and go. No wires, no O-rings, nothing to  drop on the ground and lose. Nice and simple.

Thanks for checking out my indestructible! comments are appreciated!
Excellent!!
Hey thanks for the idea. I'm going to try using double sided outdoor adhesive tape. It has worked very well for me for mounting a commercial miner's light to a helmet. I'm sure this version will work too.
I like the fact that this mount can adjust the pitch. Other mounts don't have that option.<br><br>Can you think of a way to make it easy to remove the light? That would be handy. Perhaps I can find a nut that is a wingnut or a knob.<br><br>Thanks!<br>
Is this a illusion it looks like you have 2 flashlights on that mount? Cool idea, I like yours since its quick release if I fall I assume the plastic will break away
Not an illusion :) I added a second one and just overlapped the mount.
