The mount can sit flat on hard ground with its retractable legs which provide a stable base for the VIP™ to pivot. It can also be hammered into soft ground with its built in spike. The mount also allows the VIP™ to be strapped or screwed to trees or walls The base will also attach to metal objects with its strong magnets. Finally the mount allows the VIP™ to be worn comfortably as a headlamp. Like the VIP™ itself the Universal Mount™ is unmatched in its form and function.
