• This is my latest aliexpress purchase, I think it's a knog qudos copy. It comes with the adapter from 1 to 2 gopro mounts. Light is very bright, even on the 1 LED setting. The adaptor thing is plastic, and a little bit bendy. I'll see how the gopro footage looks after I ride tomorrow

    Can't complain for £15 for light and mount though...

    It's this ^ It comes with those big bolt things, but I nicked a couple of suitable length bolts out of an old stem.

    The computer mount it's attached to is a Fouriers one, it already has a gopro mount below it. I think I remember spotting an alu Fouriers 1 > 2 gopro adapter thing, so if this one flops around everywhere I might get that...

  • So a bit of an update on that light/adapter thing. The adapter vibrates quite a lot, I've ordered the Fouriers alu 1>2 gopro adapter to fit to the computer mount. Hopefully that'll improve things. I should note, the vibrations aren't obvious whilst looking at it, but the video afterwards is a bit shakey and jelly-like. Could pick out a car reg before, but not now.

    The light was good the first time I used it, until I hit a pothole after a couple of hours and the light went off. Wouldn't turn back on. I assumed the battery had run out, but from some scientific testing later (switching the light on and whacking it on my hand/a table) a jolt would cause it to switch off and it wouldn't switch back on until the battery was completely removed and reseated.

    I took it apart today and put it back together, did the bolts up nice and tight and couldn't get it to work at all. Undid the bolts and put it back together slightly less tightly and the light now seems to continue working regardless of how much I clonk it on the table. Will report back after (inevitably) riding straight through lots more potholes.
