Well -machined and has radial ribs to make sure the mount doesn’t start to swivel and loosen. Plenty of room for multiple anchors if needed. I keep one on my camera body and on the shoe of my long lens i have lots of confidence in this.
I bought the handlebar phone mount for my bicycle and after using it for a couple months arm super happy with it. The mount is sturdy and it holds the phone securely; I am confident that the mount will stay attached to the handlebars, and the phone will stay attached to the mount. I tell people I ride with that if they need a system such as this, this is the one to get.
The initial product I received had some problem with the mounting threads or hardware because I couldn’t tighten the screw nor the thumb screw enough for the mount to close around my bar. The screwhead actually snapped rendering the mount unusable. PD’s great customer service sent me a new mount without any drama after I told them what had happened. The new mount hardware was perfect and it easily mounted to my bars. Though I’ve only used it on 1 ride (their shipping isn’t the fastest), my phone was held super securely and I had no fear of it vibrating off the mount.
I bouth this a month ago, it was surprisingly small and light. I do lots of underwater photography and was after a solution to avoind taking the side clips everytime I wanted to put my camera in the housing, it fits perfectly my needs! Also I was very pleased to see the effort to reduce waste on packaging (commun when buying things online).
I bought this to put in on my backpack while I travel, I found that it’s really annoying and tiring having the camera hanging from the strap while hiking or walking a lot, this thing offloads that and works really well, I feel my camera secure even with my 70-200 lens. It’s easy to use and really practical.
