My Twofish Locblock and Fenix mounted perfectly to my Xen, however all the vents and the shape of the helmet are all wrong on the Flux.
Anyone got any pics of their torch type light on a Flux?
so wear the xen?
Are you having a bad day, or are you always like this?
The Xen's knackered btw - I don't just buy new helmets for fun.

Cheers chunky - what's under the torch?
It's an old Blackburn Light mount. With a bunch of zip-ties and some old bits of lighting bracket you can cobble something together.

I was wanting a more 'quick release' method, but it's food for thought - ta.
I was lucky enough to have two helmets at the time (last winter). I've ordered a DX Extreme helmet mount now. Much cheapness.
would this work on a front to back section?

The Fenix is smaller I think; ranging from about 15-20mm in diameter along it's length.
Rob - I can't really work out what you're showing me there mate (mounting wise), althgough I may buy a DX at some point
*edit* Now I can see - it may work, with both dished sections being on the same plane, whereas the Locblock is on opposing planes.
was about to call you a blind spacka then 😉
*points* Bad back spacka wiv the fakes.
I'd arrange a ride for tomorrow, but don't know what excuse you'll use this time 😛

2 of the mounting thingys from deal extreme, seconds to put on and remove. Helmet doesn't feel badly weighted and when sat on head torch is at a good angle IMO.
Hope that helps

Rich my current set up sort of allows me to mount my Fenix right on the side of my helmet, but it felt odd and unbalanced. Cheers anyway.
I'm having the same issue at the moment with a Trustfire T1 CREE torch. All the vents and weird shaping of the flux make it a real s*d to mount on!
Did you find a solution in the end?
I'm experimenting with heavy duty velcro and a DIY mount made using two 25mm square cable tidies zip-tied to the torch body - the beam direction isn't perfect, but can't see a way to improve it.
