The nights are drawing in etc.

I like the beam pattern of the Cateye Volt lights, but hate, hate, hate the thumb screw mount (H-34) they use.

Do Cateye produce a quick release mount where both the light and the mount can be removed from the bike in a second or two like I can with my Hope Vision 1? I don't like having pointless mounts attached to my bike when not needed.

The parts I have seen don't have a mechanism that would seem to allow this (H-30 and H-31)...

    No they don't appear to make an equivalent bracket, I leave my volt 700's attached to the slide mount and remove the light and bracket together as a unit. I think that eventually the interlocking parts could wear and lead to the light unit becoming detached from the bracket when travelling over rough roads or an unavoidable pot hole.
