The ziptie one looks expensive for what it is and the QR one is v expensive!

What else do people use?

Anyone use one of [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Twofish-Torch-Lockblock-Cycle-Mount-Fenix-Mini-Maglite-/280590584219?pt=UK_SportsLeisure_Cycling_Bike_Lights&hash=item415480899b ]these[/url]?

Can you buy one of these, test it and then let me know?
I'll buy you an ice cream or beer.

That is what I use with my Fenix torch and works fine for me commuting. If only I had got it out of my bag to show you when I came to visit!!

Looking at pictures of the joystick, I think it will be fine.

It sounds like you aren't happy with my advice! :/
That is the mount i give to ALL my customers (300+) and they are all happy with it.
Over the last 4 years i have tried loads of different mounts and that is the best, the one you seem to have gone for is okay, but not great.
It might be okay for the Joystick, but basically because it uses Velcro to hold the light and the bar, it will shake a bit and bounce the light up and down while going over bumpy ground.
Oh, the mount you went for, you can get it for $2 on DX.
