New Remote Tape Switch for the Elzetta ZFL-M60

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

Elzetta has released a Remote Tape Switch for the Elzetta ZFL-M60 LED Tactical Flashlight. It features a fully molded pressure pad (not mere shrink wrap), an integrated zip-tie slot for easy attachment (slot may be clipped off it not needed), and an innovative fail-safe constant-on feature. By rotating the Tape Switch Tailcap fully clockwise, the light will remain on without the pressure pad being depressed. This hands-free constant-on feature works independently from the pressure pad and remains fully functional even if the Remote Tape Switch cable is completely severed. It is available with a cable length of 5 inches or 12 inches. All things Elzetta are Made in USA! with a limited lifetime warranty.

Remember the HEL-STAR 5 strobe from Core Survival we wrote about back in June? Here is some video of it in action, attached to a Gentex Parachutist Helmet during a military free fall jump at Eloy, AZ.

VIP Helmet Mount from Adventure Lights

Monday, November 28th, 2011

It’s hard to find a SOF unit that doesn’t use Adventure Lights and, occasionally, you’ll see a VIP light attached to a helmet in one field expedient fashion or another. Up until now, there hasn’t been a purpose built solution to affix your VIP light to your helmet. This new mount gives a solid platform to mount the VIP light to helmet via Velcro. Additionally, the mount is available in two configurations. The one-way bezel will not allow the user to accidentally trigger a visual light function, while the two-way bezel allows the user to start from a visual or IR setting.

Adventure Lights VIP Helmet Mount

Made in Canada, both mounts are available in Black as well as the new Tan color which will soon be a standard color on all lights.

Adventure Lights are available through www.adsinc.com.

Haley Strategic Partners Releases Adaptive Light Mounts

Thursday, November 24th, 2011

Partnering with Impact Weapons Components, Travis Haley developed two new HSP Adaptive Light Mounts. Available in two models; Dropwing and Thorntail, both are designed to mount the SureFire Scout Light to carbines in such a manner to leave room for both your hands on the rifle but also any lasers or other devices mounted to the carbine. They can be mounted in 8 different positions on the rail system and moves the light forward, in front of lasers or other gear with plenty of room to keep even a vampire head out of the way of a laser.

Dropwing

The Dropwing is intentionally designed to fit in a shorter carbine’s rail system (works fine with longer rails as well). But, instead of mounting to the Picatinny rail itself, it mounts in the space between the rail sections to offer a lower profile.

Thorntail

Conversely, the Thorntail does the same things as the Dropwing, except that it is Mil Std 1913 rail compatible.

Although designed to mount a SureFire Scout Light, there is also a ring system for use with these mounts to accommodate other lights.

From what we understand, these are the first of many weapons accessories on the way from Haley Strategic Partners.
