Favorite Out Front Garmin Mount with Light Mount???

So my bars are too cluttered. Looking to pick up a new Garmin out front mount that mounts to stem… (40mm between bolts on my stem), and hoping to find one that has a mount underneath for a front light. I always ride with lights and my varia…. Trying to get rid of the clutter on my bars.

What’s out there and what’s your favorite?

Thanks

I have one of these on all of my bikes. Affordable. Comes in colors. Works.

Sorry

Sorry should clarify. I already have a Lynskey stem I’m not looking to replace, so need something to fit their 40mm bolts….

I'll have to search to find the brand, but I have a mount that attaches to the stem and can accommodate a variety of stem bolt widths. I actually don't have first hand experience with it yet because it's going on a new bike, but someone here recommended it some time ago so I bought one. I'll try to dig up the brand. I think it has a GoPro mount on the underside but I can't trust my memory.

Edit; found it: https://www.amazon.com/F3-Cycling-In.../dp/B07GJV8JQ4

I thought about this but didn't go for it as you can't change the angle...
I'm using this instead:

https://www.sram.com/en/zipp/models/ac-sc-cmfp-a1

which is overpriced but does indeed have a GoPro mount at the bottom. An aesthetic issue is that the metal used for this doesn't match any of the SC SL stems that Zipp makes

This mounts the GPS on top, the HL underneath (Varia HL500 or UT800.) The UT800 uses an adapter which will also mount a GoPro

Last night, I used an Edge 1000, the HL500 up front, TL300 in the rear, as part of a network. We rode from daylight well into dusk, and it worked perfectly.

The bottom of this mount is a "male" Garmin mount, and the top of the HL500 is a "female" slot, just like you see on top of the mount. You can buy these mounts and glue them to about any device.



I've also used the cheaper Chinese ones that mount on the front two bolts of the stem. The slot is a long oval, and it will break. It's not "if," it's "when." When this happens, the clamp on your bars will decide to let the bar swivel. Not only is your GPS and/or HL bouncing behind you, your chin may well be on the bars.


I see guys with the K-Edge and they do look great.

Forgot to mention, I have a Most iTiger as well, because a helpful Paceliner clued me in to the fact that it fits nicely on a Zipp Service Course SL stem. The lack of adjustability hasn't been a problem, the angle works well for me.

I’ve used the F3 in the past, it’s nice, but yes if you need angle adjustment it’s a no go.

Barfly and K-Edge have great options with GoPro mounts to handle lights

I have used both the Zipp and ENVE out front mounts with the GoPro light mount, I also use a K-Edge with the same GoPro mount for the light.

I mount a Light & Motion Urban to the GoPro Mount, which works great, very secure.

BTW if you have the basic Garmin out front mount you can get a go pro/light adapter from Garmin, it's only $10
It doesn't come up in most google searches because Garmin dosen't call it a go pro adapter

Same mount comes with the UT800 light. Mine rattles.

I use K-Edge because the viewing angle is adjustable.
