I already own a Baton SR2 torch and was looking for a way to attach this to my bike to use as a very occasional light.
Initially I repurposed another handlebar gadget holder, and some O rings - not knowing that this nifty little device was available. My hap hazard bodge job did ok - but this is another level - fits my Baton SR2 perfectly, and the O rings that are supplied (Spare ones supplied too), are about 4 times thicker than the usual ones you get.
The bracket is supplied in two ‘parts’ connected with a cross head screw (screwdriver is included - so no need to go looking for one), this allows you to use a standard torch, or a 90 degree angled torch such as the Perun 2 - clever little design!
It's pretty good and relatively solid, although it can move around a little bit if you are on rougher terrain.
After buying this, and then deciding that I quite enjoyed cycling in the evenings/at night - I decided to purchase a cycling specific light (another Olight - RN1500), as it just makes sense really to have something that is made for the job rather than repurpose another torch - however - I'll still keep this, and my Baton SR2 in my cycling bag, just in case I find myself out on the trail and my main light packs in.
Or if i'm out with a group and someone hasn't got/brought their own light. Due to the speed of installation (under 10 seconds), they can fit my torch to their handlebars to get them home at the very least, and also to enjoy the trails in a group setting.
Overall a very good idea, and a well made product, but I'd probably recommend it as a back up rather than your main light source on a night time ride.

Great little item to have if you already have an Olight torch
