Looks like it...
Outbound DH evo lights ?? Or ?
- Thread starter bullcrew
- Start date
I always make sure my helmets have go-pro mounts/adapters...and I always make sure the lights I buy offer go-pro style mounting.
Same reason, I don't like f-ing around with straps, plus I want to put my lights on ski helmets sometimes, etc.
Yeah, the Smith Forefronts (1 and 2) have a threaded screw hole right there built in to the helmet. The 3D printed doodad is specific to the Forefront, it has a rib/lip on the bottom that sits just inside the vent hole to prevent it from spinning or turning side to side. It's pretty slick.
Edit to add pics of my helmet...
Pretty slick, thanks. Guess you could just drill a hole in one of the adhesive mounts and maybe stick a piece of rubber in between but yeah, super clean set up. 
I think I've still got the official Smith version of that mount, yours if you need it @Full Trucker or anyone else.
If no one else calls it, I’ll grab it from ya next time I see ya.
Just spotted the Ravemen 6000 Lumen light, they sell direct outta China and look to be cheaper and less shit looking than Magigshines.
I only want a little light, and Ravemen make lights with low beam short throw for commuting, I have to cover my Niteriders if someone is coming the other way as the beam pattern is factory set to maximum cuntishness.
EDIT- Not cheaper than Magicshine, had the wrong currency selected.

Huh, showed up as $350 USD when I had the currency set incorrectly, maybe because there was no import tax to Oz......?
What price does it show from this link?- https://shop.ravemen.com/products/xr6000?_pos=1&_sid=a665f129a&_ss=r
It shows $350 at first, but then magically changes to $480
:edit: Now I see the currency thing in the bottom right. So the $480 is just an estimate then, they'll just charge $350 USD.
Confusing way to do it, with the wording at the top of the site.

I just found the light I wanted on clearance in Aus, so it's cheaper than direct anyway.
Damn internet, I just emailed a Korean company to see when their light will be available.

Ha funny this thread got bumped. Hopefully the Cartel hadn't eaten it and it works for ya
why not the Detour with the cutoff beam? https://www.outboundlighting.com/collections/road-bike-lights/products/detour
If the goal is small and cheap then the Niterider Lumina Boost lights are hard to beat!
Um this looks more shit.
The magicshine has xhp50 led chips which a pair realistically probably put out more light than this entire assmbly with its pile of baby D leds.
Headed to luiseno bike park tomorrow night to run the DH line and pro line. Need to see how the drops, gaps and step ups as well as granite falls rides at night ..
The Plans are a run a night DH racen and an e-enduro race...
So we are looking at layout, course dark spots to put a light or 2 and reflectors for markers to guide...
They want it to be occasionally open up for night rides to general public if it's dialed enough. They wont be on the aggressive lines but more flowy Enduro for safety..
So me and the boys get to go huck it tomorrow night...super pumped ..

double evo?!!! nice
Took it out front it's so damn bright...2 lights up everything...got the new portal on helmet as well...
As long as wheel and bars are straight the rest of me is crooked
I picked up the Portal when it was released too, first use was following a load of Deep Cove locals down a bunch of trails I'm not familiar with on Mount Seymour on a night ride in the wet, which funny enough was the same situation when I first picked up Outbound stuff a few years ago and immediately threw myself into the deep end down some of Seymour's gnarliest in the dark.
Such great products. We use the hangover on a gopro head strap to walk the dog in the fall and winter pretty much every day since it gets dark early and we've got a lot of animals around that I prefer to avoid...bears, cougars, coyotes. Actually lit up a big coyote across the street on the golf course one night a couple weeks ago, he likes to taunt my dog in the mornings when we see him occasionally too. Full casual stretches and yawns, then lays down non nonchalantly on the 18th green with NFG. It likes to steal peoples golf balls during the season, will grab them and run away, have seen it with a full size canada goose by the neck too!
The portal on the gravel bike bars is also really good and can mostly go without a second light on the helmet too. Evo/Portal combo is so good for higher speed tech mtb stuff.

Yeah I feel like that when we lived in the NW..Northern Idaho and Washington...lots of crap wants to maul you..
That's cool you take a walk with it , we have headlamps and other stuff for our big disappear packing trips...never thought to use the outbound...now I'll need to tell the wife I need to buy more....
Tom does an amazing job on these lights, hands down best all in one light checks all the boxes...
