Has anyone used this with a helmet mounted light? Do the vents have enough room for the traditional velcro strap to go through?

Yes, I use it with Light and Motion Vis 360 helmet mounted lights and it works fine.

Haven't used it for the light described. But the vents should have enough room for Velcro straps (not a buckle).

Devin< i mounted my tail light to my helmet. i fit the strap around the back of my of one of my vents. Might not work for all helmets. Take a look at yours. I've recieved many complements. Also, it could fit around the fork of ur bike.

I have not tried it on a vented bicycle helmet. I would go with the velcroe strap system instead for that. This would probably not stay too well because of the lack of surface area contact.

I installed the mirror just like the sample picture, and it has been working perfectly for me: no vibration, no blocking view..., etc. I can't really answer your question since I don't have a helmet light. However, based on my understanding, it should be compatible with helmet light, unless you have those lights with elastic band that need to be tied around the lower edge of the helmet...Good luck! ^_^

If you had some MOLLE straps or something that'd probably work fine, but the clip isn't bulletproof if it doesn't have much to grip on. I'd probably use a zip tie to make sure it was really secure. I've never had a better light though, and the clips aren't much different on anything else I've had. It comes with a smaller ring for mounting, you might be able to adapt that for your backpack.

This helmet mount is great. There are two adjustable straps with locking adjusters. The mount has a 3/16" thick somewhat hard foam pad on the bottom. The mount is also adjustable up and down by a splined pivot with a bolt that you tighten to lock it into place. Your light slides off the mount by pressing down on the quick release tab and slides on clicking securely into place.

You can if you have the rail adapter or the helmet adapter. I love the light and it is very versatile. The helmet adapter clips to the edge of the helmet not like the rail adapter which will adapt to a weapons system style rail.

Yep, it fits just fine. Though depending on your helmet you may have to secure the light with a little tape.

At first I mounted it to my handle bars. I made a bracket and now have it mounted to my fork. I think that it is too heavy to mount on a helmet. It does come with some extra straps but I did not use them. It is a very bright light. I always run it on low intensity.

The mount interface only covers 3 slots, but I used the 7 slot rail (L3) to avoid anything snagging under the pressure switch end of the light as easily. FWIW, the sand color of the light is not a match for Magpul's FDE furniture, so I would order black if I did it again.

There is some truth to this problem. The light mounts with a plastic strap that is tightened with a lever (think of a ski boot buckle). The problem is that the lever doesn't really stay tightened, and you have to push it back into place. However, I haven't noticed this loosening going over bumps, etc., it's just that at the end of a ride, you tighten the strap again. A minor design defect and not a big deal. I like the light.

No, but i had it on my helmet for a ride. It's heavy so I put a 1600 lumen light on the helmet and this on the bar, which was a struggle due to the weight and the crappy mount.

I don't use the provided mount. I have placed Velcro on the dash and unit - it is much more secure, has a lower profile from potential police and/or theft. Having it mounted this way it does not get into one's visual field and it works as it should.

If worn under the helmet, I would say no, simply because of where the camera is located (take a close look at the picture to see what I mean). If you want to fit it over, I'm not sure about the size and I cannot give you an answer because I don't have it with me now. Maybe a fellow past purchaser can chime in now... ?Another option (for quite cheap) is the mount strap for vented bicycle helmets. Of course, this serves one single purpose and cannot be mounted to your head like the Smatree Head Strap.

You can modify the head strap to mount it on your helmet. I removed the piece that normally goes from the lamp down the back of the head. Then I used the remaining headband to firmly attach the base to my helmet by threading it through two of the vent holes. Not quick to remove, but it stays solidly in place and I didn't have to spend any extra money.

The mount ring that comes with the light is pretty much useless. However it has connector and screw hole that allows it to be screwed to other types of standard bike mounts. For example, I mounted it to my current rear seat post reflector ring.

Yes, mine is mounted with Velcro and it's been staying put. Makes it easy to change batteries too.
