The Finn is a simple, compact, reliable phone holder.
The Fenix or any of a number of similar mounts can affix a small handheld flashlight to your bars or helmet. You have to take care with helmet mounts, because the extremely intense lights available can be blinding to drivers when you turn your head in their direction.
Pictured is a Busch + Müller Universal Cockpit Adapter( https://www.bumm.de/en/products/stromversorgung/parent/261/produkt/261.html ) that I bought in Greece while on vacation at 3Action in Athens( https://www.action3.gr/ ). It is a lot better than the adapters on the market in the USA, the only problem is the strap is real long and thus a problem waiting to happen on the Brompton. Finally one day I go to the REI in NYC and I leave my Brompton parked by their new model Bromptons to look at something and I hear a crack-crank-crack noise and I instinctively rushed to my Brompton. Some customers like idiots where folding and unfolding my very worn looking Brompton instead of the display models and got the strap stuck in the spoke and cut it. Despite that I managed to soldier on with it since there was rubber piece holding it together somewhat, but it become much harder to sinch up. Finally about 2 months ago even that rubber portion totally severed and there is no way I can properly tighten or use it.
I have went to bike store after bike store in the USA and all the mounts in the American market seem to suck. I was thinking of ponying up for a Quadlock case( https://www.quadlockcase.com/ ) and enough mounts for all 4 of my bikes. But I see in archived threads on /r/brompton people mention it is not suitable for M style handlebars which I have. Someone recommended a Finn mount but I see many negative Amazon reviews ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/Finn-Unisex-Adult-universal-holder/product-reviews/B00D8Z9KPU/ref=cm_cr_unknown?ie=UTF8&reviewerType=all_reviews&filterByStar=one_star&pageNumber=1 ) saying it shakes and can damage a phone because of that. Also someone here mentioned it doesn't fit on M style bars like mine( see: https://www.reddit.com/r/Brompton/comments/9gv05f/phone_mount_for_m_type_brompton/ ).
Does anyone know a good smartphone mount especially one available in the European market at European retailers since I am on vacation in Greece right now?
