Now you just need to find room on it for a quick detach swivel and 2nd tripod fitting to replace the one you are using for the handle! (mostly kidding)
This looks like a nice utilitarian design. Button accessibility is a very nice feature.
Have you considered adding a partial-depth cut (maybe need a mill instead of waterjet?) on either side of the curved beam section, tapered off before the ends to keep the mounting features intact? It would give the beam a t-shaped cross-section with the cross of the t towards the light. That would remove a bunch of material and keep most of its strength. Maybe also give it a more finished look, depending on taste.
What’s the purpose of the short link with countersunk holes? So you can adjust the position of the handle relative to the light?
ETA: larger inside corner radii leading up to the boss with the counterbore where you screw to the light might look a little sleaker.
The short link attaches to the GT mounting bracket and a handle or grip would mount to it like the 5/8” bar did on V1. Its countersunk on both sides for a 1/4-20 flat head socket screw, making it ambidextrous and adjustable.
And then he calls me out on the part I cheated on… The boss made it easy for me to make the mounting hole for the first one. I have a setup part now so that could be cleaned up for sure. A taper with a .750” radius top and bottom would look good I think.
I should probably test fit this thing with the V1 “grip” before it gets sent off to gi.lumens in the morning. At this point I can only assume the bracket fits the light…
Got the samples in today, pretty dang cool! The access to the switch is perfect, or can be easily tweaked to suit ya…
Took too many pictures, bear with me…
These were apparently tumbled after being finished and it’s a nice look, I lined the inside of the bracket with a strip of black electrical tape, shaved the tape off on the sides to make it match the bracket, it fits on snug and protects the anodizing. All in all very well done and extremely useful.
I have some Titanium tubing I may use to make another handle, thread inside for a plug and thread the plug for the mount, should work and be strong and light weight.
Highly recommend this one, robust and plenty strong enough to not have to worry about.
