Good, but not so perfect for biking

I am a big fan of the mobile series. Unfortunately, the Universal Bar Mount is not suitable for the bicycle. The attachment with the rubber band makes the mount very wobbly on the handlebar. In principle, everything holds together, but a really firm version with screws for tightening, for example, would be very desirable.
The major question you want to know before you buy is "will this just fly off when I'm biking?" well I can answer that. I did a full on flip over the handlebars, break both your arms, scrape all your skin off crash and when I limped over to pull my bike up the phone was still attached. My helmet had cracked in half but the mount was still good to go. While I am bike-less till I heal I know that there's basically nothing I can do to knock this out.
I use this to attach my phone to my bike while it's on the trainer as well as the handlebar for operating my GoPro while riding. Very secure, flexible solution.
I used to have the equivalent product from Quad Lock and I have no idea why that product was so well reviewed, it was cheap crap that fell apart and the company didn't stand behind their shoddy product at all. This mount works well. So easy to connect the phone to the mount, very secure and I have much greater trust in it actually working.
I love this mount!! I’ve used it on a boat, on a bike, in the kitchen on a cabinet, on my riding mower, push mower, weed wacker. The uses are legitimately endless!! Simply amazing.
