Woody, please "review" your Spark when you can. sharing your thoughts, thx!
i got my UF swivel holster today from Manafont (UF 401):
it fits great with AA-sized tubes, and i also like it for AAA-sized tubes. i cant recommend it for tube diameters larger than AA-size. quality is great great great, i am very pleased with the built quality. the swivel joint is made out of black (flexible) hard plastic, unbreakable. you get 12 different lock positions. maybe the original swivel holster by Fenix is even better built (the UF 401 is an imitation of the Fenix, no doubt) but this is absolutely pleasing and sufficient. very light weight and small, and it works beautifully (walking, better than headlamp for that matter, ..). me thinks that EVERY flashaholic should have both this type of holster (it actually replaces any standard holster/sheath/pouch!) and a gorillapod with clamp. i regard the gorillapod and the swivel holster as the two most ESSENTIAL accessories of a flashaholic ;)
here some good info: the "UF 401" model number is assigned to 2 different UF swivel holster, similar to Fenix diffusers which have the the same model number but are really different products. so when you order it from ebay, make sure that you get the "401" which you're interested in. I was interested in THIS "401" and i am glad that they didnt ship the wrong item (i.e. THE OTHER "401" by UF).
One advantage of this small-ish holster is its symmetry. it's a holster with a symmetrical shape. its center of mass is exactly in the swivel joint (point). when you swivel the holder, the center of mass (of holster + flashlight) stays in place. other holders (e.g. NiteIze, the other UF 401) generate a momentum in the black plastic mounting bracket (clamp). the momentum is transferred to your belt and subjectively you will think that the holster is "heavier" lol.
if you dont know what i mean, take a look at selfbuilt's Olight i3 (analogy). imagine the split ring was glued in a fixed position to the keyring attachment point of the i3 (=analogy: the 401 + torch is a fixed system, a so-called "rigid body system") and you had to hold i3 100% straight (vertical) with your thumb and pointer .. only by touching (holding) the split ring (=analogy: the belt holds the 401). so your fingers be the belt in the analogy. now think about it: what is easier to hold in your fingers: the iTP A3 (no momentum in your fingers), or the Olight i3? the engineering target is to let the belt "carry" (only) the weight of the holster+flashlight and not also let it "counteract" the momentum which is transferred by the black plastic. a symmetrically built holster provides pure strain by weight, which also means that the holster will not TWIST your belt thru torque.
this product is kreislapproved and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. dont' get it from MF but do get it (from elsewhere)!!
