So many of you wanted to be able to mount our lights underneath your bike computers that we created this nifty little adapter. All the guts of our Quick Release Handlebar Mount that comes with Detour and Evo, but to work with an Action Camera mount.
This works with our Detour light the best.
This can work upside down or right side up, there is no wrong way, the light will always be positioned correctly.
This review is for the Go-Pro mount accessory that connects to the EVO light. It was nighttime, it was icy (w. studded tires) and sort of slammed into tree. The mount broke off, the EVO fell safely to the ground undamaged. Outbound replaced the mount free of charge, they were great about it. This mount is handy if you want to use your EVO on multiple bikes, or swap out with other devices during the day.
I really like my Detour light, but between its mount and my Garmin's, my handlebars were getting crowded. I was disappointed that this didn't come with the Detour, especially given the price of the light itself. With the popularity of Garmin mounts and systems, I would have thought this would have been included. I'm glad this is an option, since it does give me back some space on my bars.
That's fair! The main reason we don't include it with every Detour, is that attaching to the bars is still the most common out there, and including that mount works on all standard bikes without requiring you to have your own compatible GPS mount to attach the Action Camera Mount adapter to. We could include both, but that essentially guarantees one of them ends up in the garbage for most users while costing us more to make the mount, so we'd have to increase the cost every light more to account for that. Long-term we'll have a better setup for both packaging and checkout on the website to let people choose which mount they want when the order it, but that didn't seem necessary when we weren't getting so many requests for this. It's on our list!
The action mount works perfectly with the bracket on my integrated Syncros Frasier bar and Evo light. Now I'm back in action night riding on my new bike!
This is the 3rd one of these that I've purchased and I probably won't stop until I have one for every bike. Highly recommend for mounting this light if you already use a Go-Pro attachment system.
Action Camera Quick Release Mount
I use a wahoo bolt v2 computer on a k-edge max xl mount. This adapter lets me mount the detour underneath! There is room and it's easy to get the light off/on to bring it in to charge.
