Helmet mounting the MagicShine

I have the MagicShine and I bought the helmet mount they sold. The problem is, putting the Velcro as tight as I can, it still slides.

What are some methods that people have firmly attached these?

If you do a google image search of magic shine helmet mount, you can see ways that others have done this. There is one shot of the mount attached with zip ties that looks very secure.

A bit of sticky back velcro on the helmet and on the mount will keep it in place. Look for a water resistant type. Any of the big box stores have it.
