I wish the magicshine garmin mounts were a bit thicker. I have the evo 1300 and the mount is considerable thinner compared to the OEM garmin mount that came with my edge 1050. The reason why I'll use the magicshine mount is because it already has included a swivel garmin garmin mount which is way sleeker than buying aftermarket adapters.
You should be able to find Magicshine's app on Google / Apple app stores. It isn't a very useful app though, especially with these simple lights unless you really want to re-arrange the modes or make small adjustments. I don't believe either of these lights would show up under Garmin's light control. The Magicshine R300 radar however does have ANT+ / Bluetooth connectivity so it does show up as a controllable light.
@ You are right, the app links seem to be broken and it's gone from the stores. Maybe it's down for an upgrade, on Google / Apple it was hard to use and had a 1-2 star rating so you are not missing much.
Yes, I don't really understand why Magicshine went through the trouble of making two separate Allty light models just for the mount. Other companies like KNOG / iGPSPORT have flip-able mounts that make it easy to switch the mounts.
@@mazditzo I have heard of lights popping off those rails. Knog use a similar rail design on some of their 'Blinder' lights and this happens quite often. I ended up going with an similarly looking light from a brand called *TOWILD* that uses the garmin quarter turn twist lock mounting system and so far ive been very happy with it.
If you want to mount the light under an out-front mount having a Garmin mount isn't that helpful, I think you'll want a GoPro adapter (as pictured here in this review) so you can adjust the angle. As you can see in the comparison, there are a lot of options that are specifically designed to be mounted under a computer from Magicshine EVO 1300/1700, LightSKIN (U8 / NACA), KNOG Blinder (flippable mount is very nice) and even the Fenix lights have GoPro adapters (if you don't mind flipping it). The nice thing about top-mount specific lights is that the power button will be on top so you can interact with it easier.

For road cycling, which one do you recommend the most? Evo1300 or 1700? Is there really a difference in power?🤔🤔
Can you control the lights with a bike computer like Edge? Also i cannot find their app 🤔

@TheSweetCyclists thank you. Well I followed the link in the manual and it's gone 🤷♂️

they should tap screw holes on both sides and make the lens rotatable. instead of making two versions.

This! Even Chinese brand such as rockbross offering dual mount with simple slider/rails

I'm looking for an under stem light with garmin mount. Do you like the Lightskin light? Know of any other brands?
