Some buyers heads gonna roll over that one O.o

So just a question, as a light to put on my commuter for when I extend the ride home in the evenings is the Hope Vision 1 at that price any good, my commute is mostly road with the odd bridle way thrown in so no major off road excursions and mostly tarmac with the odd spot of gravel

Joystick arrived today in nice case, just need a helmet mount and rechargeable batteries for the rear flare light now.

Only issue is the joystick takes a little while to respond to the button. Hold it down and nothing happens sometimes – is this normal?

£17.50 is a lot for the proper helmet mount!

Indeed – was thinking of a 22mm pipe clip and a ziptie or two.
Only resistance to placing an order is the spotty reputation Exposure have for what is, in my mind a £50 torch, when a fistful of cheaper LED lensers have given perfect service.

rwc03 – double press to turn on, press & hold to turn off (that’s how my Diablo works anyway)

Ron – I like my Vision 1 very much and use it much as you describe.

I’d buy it with batteries at that price for sure.

Woody- Always turns on but when I hold it down it sometimes doesn’t respond not sure if that’s normal or there’s something wrong with the button or board – have emailed exposure.

Another Joystick ordered. Very pleased with my Strada, so this will serves as the helmet lamp and backup for son’s off roading.

Amazing how many new joysticks there now are on eBay…

Mine received today, can’t see how the torch fits the headband though, no loop on my headband. Am i missing something or being Dim.

Thanks OP, my Joystick arrived today. FWIW the official helmet mount is really good.

Hope down to £41, only 2 red & 37 blue left… Good Luck but be quick

Parcel arrived today which should have had 2 sets on, but only had one 🙁

Oh dear ordered a joystick on Friday, appear to have just ordered another one £46 using £5 voucher
One for helmet, one for bars
Now only 35 left in stock, be quick people!

my joystick just arrived, nice! USB and mains charger, lanyard, little red LED and a headband that according to my colleagues ‘makes me look a right tool’

I also get the thing with sometimes no response to turning off. I think it is the red LED thing confusing it. pulling that out and putting it back in seems to fix it.

bloody hell, finally talked myself into needing one, and they’ve sold out

Snap,charging it up now 🙂

My colleagues are of the same opinion 😆

+1 on the headband having no loop for the light to go through.

(Not that I intend using the headband)

Emailed exposure (who responded quickly) and said it could be just a weak contact, I now press firmly and it responds every time, slightly annoying you can get an audible click and nothing happens but I can live with it.

My Hope vision arrived yesterday, charged it up, put the batteries in today, the battery holder melted!

Contacted Hope, new replacement battery holder is on its way, a few have done it apparently.

Excellent customer service as usual from Hope.

Edit, non left BtW

Another one here whose Joystick arrived this morning. Only complaint is that nobody told me about the £5 off for re-registering for wiggle’s newsletter before I ordered it! Oh well… Used Quidco at least so get 3% back in a few weeks…

It’s charging now, so will have a little play later. Then work out how I’m going to mount it, or if I just buy an official £20 Exposure Helmet mount in the end!

Got mine, the headband is a bit much and looks very 80s, but mine does have a loop for the torch.

Shame it won’t quite fit in my old Niteze maglight headband 🙁

If anyone doesn’t want their headband with loop and are willing to part with it let me know.

Cheers
