Elzetta- The industry's best kept secret.

[Modernflame]

The Prometheus Ti clip fits perfectly. I can also verify that the Malkoff pocket clip w/lanyard attachment works. Both of them require the fitment O-ring. Both of them also have a small, but noticeable effect on the movement of the High/Low tail cap, which won't be an issue with your Bones. The Prometheus Ti clip is sleek and unobtrusive in the grip, but I can't say the same for the Malkoff clip. However, the Malkoff clip is cheaper and, in my experience, has slightly better retention.

There may be other options, but I've only had direct experience with these.

what clip(s) can fit the "Bones"
I am looking at the Prometheus Ti Clips for Elzetta.

thanks.

Folks here generally haven't been big fans of Elzettas Alpha clip. I love it on the Bones.

Also use one on my Laser Products 6P.
That and their wire thin lanyard ring make a mighty fine combination that provides a grip ring along with a very well thought out clip. The lanyard ring can be rotated so the protrusion can be where you want it and not where you don't.

I have the speed clip on my Alpha, reckon its brilliant, not so much love for the speed clip here but if you have one on your light you will see the ergonomic benefit, anchors the light between your fingers when pressing the switch, solid as a rock.
as the tail of the light sticks out of your pocket a bit, is super easy and convenient to deploy, also clip is no pocket shredder, can be removed and replaced in pocket one handed.
I wouldnt put on another make of clip, the elzetta one rocks.

1+. I have the speed clip on my Alpha and love it. I was skeptical at first, but in real world use I couldn't ask for more.

 

[bykfixer]

I tried it on my Alpha. It's meant for the Alpha, which is too big to carry inside your pocket with chapstick, coins etc. So yeah, to daily carry it's best slid along the seem of your pocket. But when I tried it on the Bones... sorry little Alpha, Bones just stole your speed clip buddy.

Then I stuck it to a Malkoff tailcap on my Laser Products 6P for kicks n grins... it was stuck. I got it off later but found it worked great at turning that one into a gripper too. All other clips on that one were too far forward due to the extra mm's of that Malkoff clicky. The speed clip fastened to the tailcap is perfect. (In the photo above it was on the body of the 6P)
Feeling guilty about stealing the Alpha clip twice for other lights I bought a 3rd one for the Alpha, but haven't installed it yet.

 

[Brightfan]

Ha, swear i bought a nib speed clip ( just in case) the one on the alpha ever breaks, have a 6p too but havent tried the speedclip on it as i dont edc the 6p, used about the house or back up in kitbag if going away.
have to say, really dig the alpha, would be tempted to buy the bravo, im so glad the bravo doesnt have a hi/ lo switch as the runtime stops me from buying it ( thank goodness) got too many lights as it is.

 

[Modernflame]

As much as I'd hate to sabotage a fellow flashaholic's budget, I couldn't live with myself if I didn't point out that the Bravo works with the high/low tail cap. In fact, the Bones is the only Elzetta flashlight that is not designed to work with a high/low switch.

Cheers, friend. Hold on to your wallet.

One thing I cannot understand with Elzetta: their crenulated bezel. It is made of relatively soft 6061 aluminum. For me it was enough to drop on a pavement and it got a nasty sharp ding. Had to take a file to remove it and to file the same all other “teeth” to make them look the same:

Why not to make it of stainless (darkened) steel as other manufacturers do?

Although I dont own an Elzetta, I agree. Or at least provide stainless steel bezelfs as an option.

Please update us with the results when you receive your batteries. I'm curious about the length of the cells relative to the Charlie, but I also think that you must have bored out more material than Oveready does.

The Panasonic ncr18500a's fit perfect and work great, im charging them right now. Only thing is the positive just barely sticks out, i might remove wraper and remove the little white paper disk that surrounds the positive to expose more. Id feel more comfortable knowing is has a better series connection

Been using my newly arrived alpha313 for a few days. First impression was a flawless anodized body.
Second impression was the neutral tint being just what I expect a neutral tint to be (compared to other lights I have.)After repeatedly dropping light from a six foot height onto wood deck to turn on off, third impression is "this is a tough light." I also like the simple soft press for low, harder press for high. Or the just low or high tail cap setting.

Which elzetta tail cap gives you different output levels based on how hard you push on the button?

I was considering buying an Alpha recently and don't remember seeing that as an option.

It's just the high/low tail cap. Elzetta does not make a gas pedal switch. With the right amount of finesse, you can position the high/low tail cap in such a way that a soft press activates low, but a harder press compresses the plunger and gives you the high setting. Some people think of it as a feature.

Wade told me they left a bit of slop in the threads incase folks want to do that.
Thumb position broadly across the button allows a way to "push" in the tailcap to momentary high mode.

 

[Modernflame]

^^Yes.

@ Flatline. If you're considering this option, just remember that if the switch latches while you're pressing down, then you will be in constant on/low mode when you let go. For my use, I find the high/low tail cap easy to manipulate one handed, but it's hard for me to find that "in between" sweet spot unless I use both hands. Just some things to consider.

Not a fan of this quirk. It’s a surprise when the cap is set to low and there’s a quick burst of high light during the initial press. Loosening the tail cap further fixes it but it still takes some getting used to.

That has more or less been my experience with it. YMMV.

Wow.... I tested my first Elzetta and... Wow is all I can say.. I used Nitecore for a long time then upgraded to Surefire and have used them ever since. But Wow.. The feel of the Elzetta is just.. Wow. Oh, did I say wow?

 

[bykfixer]

Which one BoB?

I like dem Bones.

Glad you like it. I would have guessed that you would not like the beam tint, but it is hard not to like an Elzetta.

 

[BugoutBoys]

Also I should point out that I think I am fast becoming a Neutral snob....as I think I prefer the warmer tone of the Alpha to my typical Cool White (5700k) Malkoffs. I also just got a Hound Dog 18650 in Neutral so I am crossing over from the "blue side" to the "yellow side" I guess!

Glad you like it. I would have guessed that you would not like the beam tint, but it is hard not to like an Elzetta.

Bleh, I hate to say it. I think I am starting to appreciate neutral too **Washes mouth with soap**
Yes I know, I'm a 6 year old at heart. But I still have a favorite color and it's blue. I want everything blue. My walls. My flashlight tint. My skin. Okay jk not my skin. Well I mean that would be pretty cool.. Well maybe not.. Only for a day.. ANYWAYS. The rosy tint of the ElZetta almost makes me feel.. Warm and fuzzy inside.. I actually love it! I never thought I'd say that.. But it's gorgeous and in a way dangerous because I would shine it at an attacker and be like "Awww you look so beautiful in this lighting"
