The 2 AA brass collar & button combination on a Mini-Mag.
This is a very secure method to carry a Mini-Mag, if you don't want it in a pocket. Using a swivel clip, the light can be clipped on a belt, pocket, waistband etc.
I put mine near the head of my Mini-Mag, and it serves four purposes.
1) To carry the light.
2) Mini-Mag anti-roll device.
3) Additional mass to dissipate heat (from MadMax/BadBoy).
4) Mini-Mag head stop (prevents head from screwing down far enough to turn off the light).
I still must LoctiteŽ the set screw, to prevent the collar from loosening, and the button from coming off. If this happens, the light will be lost, or at the least, dropped.
Also, I am going to get a longer set screw for mine because only about half of the button is engaged with the threads. I want the entire button engaged, with LoctiteŽ, for security.
The collar has been tapped to receive a tripod mount bolt, although I don't think I'll ever use it as such. The deburring around this hole left it kind of homely, but it is still functional.
I recommend it highly for a Mini-Mag, but I can't comment on it's use with other 2 AA lights.
