Yes. Black anodizing. I’m not sure about HAIII. I doubt it.
It should be, yes.
Good the hear ;)
Thank you
Good looking design so far. What about attaching it with a knob with a 1/4-20 stud on it so it would be tool free?
I haven’t had any scratching yet, even with a little rough handling from another guy at work. I had the same thought. If you’re worried a couple strips of kapton tape or similar would do the trick.
I’m trying to keep it as slim as possible. This would add a large protrusion and significant cost. I want/need this to be an affordable option for you guys. A $100 handle for a $150 light just will not work.
I like the idea of being able to touch the button while holding the handle. Overall I like it. I think seeing it anodized black will definitely sell this even more.
Any idea if we can get knurling on it? Or like G0OSE was hinting at, maybe use a golf club grip on it? Heck I wouldn’t mind a bare one and use some truck bed liner coating.
Yes, it would protrude a little. Significant cost? You can buy 1/4-20 knobs for a buck.
Not seeing the need for a speedy detachment, figure once the handle is married to the GT it’ll be as permanent as the switch boot…
Like the mount, like that the switch is easily accessible, like the potential to slim it down and make it more graceful, certainly doesn’t need to be robust to carry a 5 lb light.
Please keep me in the interest list, pretty sure 2 of my friends will also be interested and I may also want one for my gifted light, price considering.
Thanks for the work you’re putting into this, appreciate it. 
I like it!!! :+1:
I like your idea of keeping it “slim & affordable” also…….
Oh yeah… Definitely interested & want one …… I meant two!!
Sign me up…. please sir! …

EDIT……
- Keep it simple, keep it slim, keep it affordable…… it will sell!!! …
Does it sit flush against the light’s body?
What prevents it from spinning/loosening from the tripod mount hole?
Also may be interested for one. :+1:
I’m interested!
It is looks now already great.
I’m interested.
Balance looks good.
Did you thought about offsetting the handle to the front?
It wouldn’t be ambidextrous anymore but that can be fixed by making at from 3 parts which would make the machining easier.
Nice work, but I can’t see it as clear as I would like to. Did you use a socket head screw to connect the “plate” to the “rod”? In that case I would suggest to make the recess about half as deep, and ond both sides. In that case you can reverse the “plate” and can the handle also be used by lefties. BTW ment as a general remark: don’t make yourself things that are ready made on the market. This thread has some useful suggestions about cladding the handle bar.
This would require more parts and time to offset it forward from the tripod mounting hole.
This was talked about somewhere already. There will be a 82 degree countersink on both sides of the plate to be used with a flat head screw instead of a socket head to make it reversible.
I like it!!
Simple & appears very sturdy & functional………
A perfect combination!!! :+1:
Sweet looking carry handle Turningbluechips. Nice work and well thought out. 
Here’s a photo of the bracket design slimmed down a bit. I won’t have time to cut another one out today but maybe I’ll make a trip over to the shop tomorrow depending on what the weather brings. We have a possible ice storm coming in and I’m not wrapping my car around a tree for a flashlight handle. Otherwise it will wait till Monday since my Steelers play at 1:00 Sunday.
Edit: Crap. Made a mistake and did the radius on the wrong side on the bottom. Will correct that now.
