1/4 turn adapter?

Are there any retailers that offer a ridgid 1/4 turn to sliding quick mount adapters?

Uh, maybe?

Can you perhaps give a hint as to what exactly it is you want this adapter to work on please? Electrics come to mind first, given the Forum you've posted in... a picture might help.

“1/4 turn mount” is what Garmin Edges (Garmin’s GPS for cycling) use.

'K, thanks for that.

I have a few of those myself. Made an adapter by marrying a sliding one to a Garmin-style base with G-Flex and a small metric machine screw. Not exactly like what this link will show you but it works. Made one with a GoPro style base and a 1/4 turn Garmin as well.

I'll be watching this thread to see what others can offer up, be easier to buy another than fabricating one again.

Some more info would be useful. We’ve figured out the 1/4 turn is Garmin OR Wahoo, which as I recall is 90 deg. to the Garmin. Then you want a sliding adapter for what device ?

looking to find the 1/4 turn for bryton style with the opposing side to accept the rear tail light clip on a planet bike superflash [https://www.planetbike.com/rear-tail-light-clip/]

Is Bryton 1/4 turn not Garmin compatible ?! or does Bryton make a Garmin adapter ?. If you found a light that uses a Garmin mount that would give you a light with a quick release. They make a bunch of seat post or under seat mounts that can use Garmin. Trying to find a quick release adapter for the Planet Bike is going to be a problem I suspect.

You may have to use two adapters for a GoPro, two and three prong. That is what I have used for a light and for a 1/4 inch camera mount.

Yes. I might have to try that one out. Could work.
Thanks.

found one of those in the link above for a low risk price point. Downside is, it's expected to be delivered after the holiday.

It arrived early, however, it does not fit. It needs about 4mm of an opening to slide in.

Unsurprising.

Unless it is specific about working with your particular device, random stuff is not likely going to work. That it was for another company’s device made 18 years ago means it’s even less likely to work.

You should have provided this information in the first post. Instead of expecting people were going to be able to guess what device you own. (The Bryton devices are not that common in the US.)
