Phone mount

[Bpietro]

Anyone have a recommendation for a phone mount? I have a iPhone 11 in a otter box case. Don’t really want one that screws into the top tube

Ive tried lots and this is by far the best.

Avoid mounting your phone on bicycle or on motorcycle if you need phone camera. Vibrations and bumps ruin the phone camera.

I assume you mean the recording of videos !, i have rode with my phone mounted for years as its what i use for gps, strava, music etc and never once had an issue with the camera being ruined as a result but if its video recording you mean then yes it will have an impact with the vibrations.

Quadlock all day long. Accept no substitutes.

Thanks that looks like a great mount. Going to order one! If nothing I can use it on a motorcycle also!

No problemo its a fantastic mount, locks your phone in place very securely, as mentioned there might be better but ive tried many and this is perfect for me.

I got the lamicall holder from Amazon. Now £14.99. It does the job well.

I was fed up with the rubber holders which rock about all over the place. This one doesn’t move.

I've only tried the cheaper rubber strap on ones previously but I now use Quadlock and can't fault it, not cheap I suppose...

I can only assume that this requires an additional mount attachment to the phone itself ? If so then NAH not for me. The stick on phone mount things to then mount on external mount is not appealing as your then stuck with an unappealing mess on your phone during all your not riding periods.

Quadlock would be the choice. But if having it permanently on your phone is not an option, then put your phone in a pocket/bag and buy an Apple Watch.

Confirm
apple watch is useless when you riding downhill or covered by clothes..and also you need two hands to use it…

I have a solution

I use the SP connect system on all my bikes, as they do an anti vibration dampening base, so you don’t trash your phone camera.

I use an old iPhone without SIM card as my bike Satnav and replaced the battery for about £14. It’s about a 10 minute job. I keep the phone on flight mode and a single charge lasts most of the day.

my bike light is also a power bank and run a short cable from light to phone if it ever needs charging on the fly.

I tried loads before settling on a Quadlock. It's the best and by a long margin. Easy to mount, easy to get on and off one handed, rock solid when riding. Nothing else comes close. The only downside is that you need a new case to accommodate it. But the case is good quality and is unobtrusive.

I have this system :Tigra Sport - FitClic Bike Strap Mount
and you need the special covers for your phone.
It's cheaper than the Quadlock but works very well. I crashed with it without problem!!!

Another vote for QuadLock. I also got a new powerpack case. Note that if you use the stick-on universal mount, the case must be smooth, hard plastic, not rubberised.

Do Quadlock do an anti vibration mount now, as a lot of guys on the motorbike forums were getting their cameras trashed using this mount?

Typing "quadlock anti vibration" into you chosen search engine might help. My first hit was: Motorcycle - Vibration Dampener

 

[phutureproof]

I've heard a lot about vibrations breaking cameras on smartphones, but the 'Motorcycle - Vibration Dampener' is really just for big motorbikes, right? It looks like it would be too bulk for an eMTB. A pity, as I'd love a way to use my iPhone 12 Max with the GB & Parks app that I use when walking as it has full, proper OS maps on there.

Maybe I'll investigate Garmin...

 

[chamaruco]

Don’t worry. Even if you had a big motor you’ll never reproduces the vibration of motor and road experience. The vibrations are dampened by the fork and are the same or less than the phone will receive inside a bag

Wrong. SP Connect do an anti vibration mount that’s very discreet. I have one on both motorbikes and ebikes, and haven’t had an issue with the camera on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. As the phone cost north of £1200, I was a little concerned, but it’s been absolutely fine.

I use the Topeak waterproof cases - find them excellent and versatile, use the case on it's own elsewhere as it's a dry bag.

Could you send me a couple of photos and list exactly the items that work with a bike?
