Do you mean the little clip on the bottom? That’s what locks it in place, you have to push it to unlock the light from its mount. No worries about loosing your light

I'd assume that the question was about the gopro prongs, or rather everything between the slide mount and the Bolt holder. How clean is it without the light? Personally I wouldn't mind much if lights are a bit of an eye-sore when mounted, as long as the interface is clean in their absence.robbosmans wrote: ↑Thu Dec 16, 2021 1:51 pmDo you mean the little clip on the bottom?

Before I converted to highly customised Philips I even had the Philips mount on a fully detachable Minoura QR "handlebar extender" (Minoura SGS-300) only to avoid the clip adapter on daytime rides.
Meanwhile the QR clamp of that Minoura thing has become part of the "round bars" version of my Philips mod, completely foregoing any slide/clip interface. Zero parts left on the bike for daylight, but the complete setup is certainly off topic on a thread about "cleanest", it's quite the monstrosity (with four buttons and a status LED planted on the outside of the clip)
No the whole fitting, as I have an Ion coming and the only fitting that i've seen is this one, yours looks more compact.robbosmans wrote: ↑Thu Dec 16, 2021 1:51 pmDo you mean the little clip on the bottom?

Dont mess around with 3d printed Ion adapters for GoPro, they fail too easy.
Use one of these Ion/Blednr mounts from Bontrager. Price is right and it's what I'm using

Keep this one handy because the mount itself can be rotated (via that bolt in the middle) for different Ion lights. My Ion Pro RT and Ion 200 RT need to be mounted in different orientations.
