So... I bought a P7 with a DX mount..

but what I recieved a mount like fenix's lockblock:

but for bugger all money... not the £7 fenix want...

Since then a couple of more m8's have ordered then and they are now being suppied in the original format, as per the picture (parallel).
So now I'm buying another P7 and want another mount.. does anyone know where to get the lockblock at a reasonable price?
I love the flexibilty of the velcro straps, as it take 2 seconds to move, not loads of pee-ing around unscrewing stuff.

Found this list of mounts, but I want a lockblock type fitting.

Anyone?

I've got one you can have for £5 posted? Same as in your piccies. Used it once outside my house just to try it.

Ordered it for a tesco torch but have never used it as i got Ayups instead.

A slight hijack, but does anyone else find that if you mount a torch on your helmet with a Lockblock it wobbles around a lot? I have tried packing out the gaps through which the velco straps pass but there is still too much movement in it. Some of the movement I am sure is due to the fact the block is so soft.

Velcro aint the best at gripping tight. Try using zip ties.

on helmet: use zip ties.

on handle bars: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15342

highly, highly recommended. QR mechanism on the torch and handlebar side, fits my P7 and OS handlebars without shims.
