Customer Reviews for Peak Design - Bar Clamp Mount for Mobile Phones - Black

Verified Purchase:Yes
The bar mount was perfect for a multi-day trip this summer. Phone felt rock solid even through some rooty single track and hike a bike sections. Easy to get on and off, and I like that I can switch the mount to different bikes with no tools.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Beware of buttons over bumps!!
on July 12, 2026
Posted by: Phil E

Twice my phone detached, once resulting in a cracked screen. Beware of the buttons depressing over bumps!
To be fair, the mount is well made and works great if I attach it to my handlebars. Unfortunately, this takes up too much real estate and that leads to the unexpected problem of attach it to the stem. It fits beautifully and seems like the ideal solution… until bumps!
With a phone attached, the entire mount begins to move toward the steerer tube that stick out of the stem. You can’t see this negligible movement until it’s too late. The mount never detaches from the stem, instead it slides just enough that it begins bouncing against the steerer tube in such small ways you can’t see it. Eventually the steerer tube depresses the release button and retaining clasp without you knowing it. When you hit a bump, the magnets are not strong enough to hold your phone with out the locking mechanism and your phone goes airborne. It had happened to me twice with two different types of iPhones. Once it fell directly under my rear tire and I cracked the screen rolling over it at speed. I didn’t know then how it happened. Today on a different bike with a different phone, the same thing happened. I was lucky enough to avoid the fallen phone, so just a couple gouges on the corners of my case (which protected a falling phone on asphalt beautifully) this time.
All to say, without a way to lock the release mechanism, beware of where your buttons may migrate over time. I’ve learned my lesson this time.
It is a bit difficult to show in the pictures, but if you look closely, you can see the steer tube begins pushing against the buttons as weight and bumps allow the amount to slide down the stem over a long and bumpy ride. With the phone retaining mechanism released, it’s just a matter of time before your phone can bounce off and there is no way to reel while your riding because your phone blocks visibility. :(
Otherwise been a big fan of Peak Design equipment and their mobile gear.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Amazing product!

I've had the mount for several years now and it's absolutely fantastic! I use it on my gravel bike and it sits very stable and doesn't move at all - even after hours on rough, unpaved roads. The universal mount is especially useful when traveling and using it on rental bikes. Have done that many times!

I already had a bar mount which stopped working after some years. For my standard bicycle I am using an OUT FRONT BIKE MOUNT. The universal bar mount is even more flexible and can be quickly mounted to a hired bicycle during holidays. Peakdesign is not the cheapest select, but always has good engineered solutions for cameras or mobiles.

The best phone holder on the market can’t recommend it enough. Holds my iPhone 17 Pro Max perfectly stable even on gravel and some cobblestone.

I bought this for my new e-bike and it’s a great combination. It’s easy to install and my phone connects and disconnects very easily. The phone also feels secure while driving my bike
