CatEye CA5445340 Gopro Light Bracket Adapter, Black

Product Information

When it comes to mounting you'll find a rubber strap. Instead of just a single oval though, Lezyne uses a wide ladder style strap. There are also big tabs on the sides that make it easy to get the strap on both sides. If you've ever used the Garmin strap it's always a struggle to pull it out far enough and hooking the tab sometimes feels impossible. Lezyne offers a vastly superior system that is a joy to use. The brand also includes everything you need for round, aero, and D-shaped seat posts. There’s a fairly focused central spot to the beam pattern, with decent peripheral coverage, while quite deep side windows to the lens up your illumination profile for urban riding. However, with only two modes to choose from, unlike many lights you can’t accidentally activate a flashing or ultra-dim mode.

This mount is one-size-fits-all and adjustable for most body sizes. Furthermore, this mount captures a near-perfect first-person perspective of your bike rides. Although it’s placed a bit lower than eye level, the chest mount offers an immersive view of your exhilarating rides. Various handlebar mounting options are available, depending on the type of bike and light being used. How handlebar mount works There’s actually two different GoPro mounts offered by KOM. The bundle tested and shown here is the CM06 computer mount, which is different than their other mounts in that it has the quarter-turn tabs built into the bottom of it. It’s crucial to discuss what factors make the best GoPro bike mount. Since there are so many options, knowing what to look for will help you differentiate each bike mount. Each biker has different preferences and needs, so the best GoPro bike mount for one individual might not be the same for another. The Macro Drive 1400+ is charged via USB-C, however a cable is not supplied. David Caudery / Our MediaThe Forevercam Handlebar Mount is an extremely durable full metal GoPro handlebar mount. This mount is made with aluminum alloy, which provides a lightweight yet durable build. In addition, it features an off-center camera mount with a 360-degree rotatable head. The rubber jaws mean the mount sits firmly on round bars. There’s some flexibility in them, so they also hold the light in place firmly on flat-topped aero bars, although the light sits a little proud. The main criticism I have about the GoPro Hand + Wrist Strap is its relatively high price point compared to other options on today’s list. Furthermore, wearing this mount for extended periods of time can be uncomfortable since your GoPro hangs off your wrist. Nonetheless, this is an incredibly fun GoPro bike mount I highly recommend to all bikers. We realise this is just the older version of the RCT715 light above, but here you're foregoing the camera feature and saving some money. There are also some newly released alternatives but despite a long time on the market, and the competition, the RTL515 continues to be the king when it comes to the core functionality. For example, the Light & Motion Vis 360 Pro has a specific helmet mount for various helmet sizes and styles. Others, such as the Cygolite Metro Pro, come with a separate mount that can be attached to the helmet using adhesive or zip ties. Pros of helmet mounting

It allows the rider to free up space on the handlebars or helmet, allowing them to use these areas for accessories such as a handlebar bag, smartphone, or bike bell. How GoPro mount works Always consider the size of your handlebars when searching for mounts that clamp on them. If the handlebars are large, it is possible that the mount will not be big enough to clamp down in a way that keeps the camera steady. Mounting Mechanism For those who instead intend to ride with less street lighting - such as in the countryside, parks, lanes, and off-road, the best bike light for you will help you see where you're going. The addition to this is that if you are riding in the city with plenty of light, the faster you go the more light you will want to feel comfortable so keep that in mind as well. Always overestimate your needs and underestimate the specs. If you are trying to ride through the night on an epic adventure the last thing you want to start worrying about is an ever-dwindling light supply. Look at how long your ride will last then make sure you have a light that gives a comfortable buffer. Then bring an extra just in case.

Success!

This mount can be attached to any round or semi-round tube with a diameter of 0.8 to 1.37 inches. Therefore, you can also use it for your seatpost and other tubes on your bike’s body. Best of all, this mount provides smooth GoPro footage even when biking through rough terrain. In testing, the light lasted at full output for rides longer than an hour without the red battery indicator illuminating.
