Thrym got in stock their new VariArc-VS Universal Helmet Mount and it is available in three colours... "The VariArc-VS™ helmet mount provides a full-featured, universal mounting solution for headborne illumination.  The locking teeth are biased to the forward position, keeping your light aligned for the most critical uses, but with a firm twist, the VariArc-VS mount unlocks and rotates through 8 additional lower-force index points for administrative tasks and diffused lighting options. Its small footprint and low profile keep things tidy.  The VariArc-VS includes both a Picatinny rail and a Scout light mount, allowing for maximum compatibility with visible and IR lights. The VariArc-VS is built to remain fully functional through extreme temperatures, dirt, dust, sand, water, drops on concrete, and rough handling.  If you are interested in the rail-mounted models of the VariArc, click here to see the Dovetail, Team Wendy®, and M-LOK® versions.

The VariArc-VS Helmet Mount:

• Has high-strength hook Velcro® that provides secure attachment with a space-efficient footprint

• Positively locks in the forward index position
• Directs light through 360 degrees, with 8 additional lower-force index positions
• Works in vertical positions for umbrella lighting rooms, canopy illumination, and IR strobe signaling
