When there is so much technology to play with, your handlebar can end up looking like a Currys window display. You can easily have a GPS or bike computer, light and action camera vying for space, leaving you with precious little room to use the bar for its intended purpose.
• Highs: Clever design, good light, and camera bracket is neat too
• Lows: Only compatible with the Edge 1000 in landscape mode

Guee has come up with a clever solution. It’s taken the out-front style of a Garmin GPS mount, made popular by the likes of K-Edge, and added a few extras.
The base of the arm’s forward section integrates a horizontal bank of four LEDs into a neat visibility-aiding light (it’s not bright enough to ride with this alone). The light will run for 25 hours in flash mode, 20 in strobe or seven if powered constantly. It has a token right-hand side-light port for a bit of side-on visibility. Charging takes just over two hours, and water resistance is excellent. A rubber power switch on the rear of the clamp makes it simple to operate when riding.
The under-mounting action camera bracket costs an extra £6.99, but is a worthy investment. If using a GoPro or action camera isn’t your thing, powerful front lights that use an action camera mount bracket can be found from Guee, Electron and Light & Motion. The mount not only works with GoPro but also Shimano, Sony and Garmin Virb, thanks to its camera-standard 0.25in-thread tripod bush.
