For the mini mag I suppose you could get the filter accessories, it comes with a 'filter cap' so to speak, that holds the coloured filter pieces in place. That's shaped hexagonally, so will do well enough as a anti-roll device. As for the C size one, not too sure, sorry...

Re: maglite

you'll find those anti roll devices in the accessory kits that M@G brings out.

The D cell accessories fit the C head as well.

I use a zip tie and leave about 3 or four inches of "tail" in place. This works well but is not too condusive (sp?) for belt carrying.

OK, now that he has had some serious advice I can make my suggestion: Tape an Arc AAA to the side of the M*g barrel, it will prevent roll and provide a flashlight in case of emergency.

Sorry - I could not resist.

Hey it is a good idea for close up work, if your looking for some throw I would suggest some kind of SF or an ARC-LS.

Re: maglite

I have one of the lens holders for the M@glite. Works very well as an antiroll device.

Re: maglite

Chris-T, thats the same theory involved in prescribing viagra to nursing home patients... Keeps them from rolling out of bed!
