Question best way add girth to goodman handle

[Dann-Oh]

I have a Light Monkey 5-12 light which has a hard goodman handle. When I adjust the goodman handle to its smallest setting the light still wobbles around a lot in my hand. The handle is a too thin for me to comfortably hold it steady.

so how do you guys and gals add girth to your goodman handles?

I padded the top bar of mine for using without gloves. Cut up a thin neoprene beer coozy and added SS snaps from the fabric store so it's removable for when I do wear gloves. Haven't gotten it wet yet, so we'll see how well it actually works. Maybe that would help?

Haven’t tested durability, but bike handlebar wrap or tennis grip tape could work.

Could always switch to the elastic mount from LM?

What happens when you want to switch hands?

Wrap the part you hold with paracord. Multiple layers, if necessary.

I received a new light on Friday. I also wanted to make the handle a little fatter and more comfy before diving it on Saturday.

Tarted up just a bit. It is definitely more comfy to hold onto (compared to another light I have that just has a hard handle).
