The Surefire Ops Core Helmet Rail Mount for the HL1 Light is a compact and lightweight accessory designed for climbing and other outdoor activities. Made of plastic or aluminum, this rail mount features a beige color and a sleek design. It is compatible with the Surefire brand and includes the necessary components for easy installation. With dimensions of 2 x 1.5 x 1 inches and a package weight of 0.07 kilograms, this product is ideal for tactical and sporting gear enthusiasts looking for a durable and versatile helmet accessory.
Overall it is a good quality product, but expect to make small fitting adjustments such as sanding or filing. I chose to sand the mount, not my rail, as other articles need to mount to the rail.
Definitely isn't cheap at over $40, but it is the most reliable and compact means to mount the Surefire HL1-B. With a total cost of over $5,000 (helmet and nvg system), I wasn't worried about saving $10 on an inferior Chinese knockoff mount, especially considering the fact that it serves as my IFF strobe (friendly fire isn't...) Unless it is just for showing off at airsoft games, where quality is not a life safety issue, I would recommend this mount.
Rattling Fit out of the box. Not a Good secure fit in the Ops Core rail.
The mounting mechanism was sub standard. As a result the mount did not fit the rail very well. I had lots of play, and would rattle because it was such a loose fit.
The mount is simple and fit perfectly on the rails of my Ops Core bump helmet. I would recommend this to anyone looking to mount a light to their helmet.
