I’ve had this for a couple of months and have been on a number of longer bike rides since then, and the mount works exactly as advertised. It’s fairly simple to install, and dead simple to use. Attaching the phone to the mount is even quicker and easier than expected, and it is very secure even on bumpy bike trails. Removing the phone from the mount is also super easy and can usually be done with one hand. 5 stars was an easy rating to make.
This bike mount lives up to all my expectations. It is very versatile and user friendly. I do not have any concerns about my iphone 15 pro max when it is attached to the bike mount, I feel better about it on the mount than in my pocket. I am very happy with the bike mount, my new case, and the incredible tripod.
From leisurely bike rides in the neighborhood to hauling absolute buns like a bread truck on the mountain bike trails, this bike mount is legit! I can track my bike rides and know my pace with just a glance. The phone doesn’t rattle or budge so checking to see my pace has never been easier. I’ve also recorded some videos of trail riding I’ve done with this mount and it’s amazing how stable the video quality is. I came in too fast on a turn and locked up the brakes and had a little wipeout, but the phone stayed on the mount and everything was in tact. Very very impressed with this product!
I received this last week, put it on my bike, and enjoyed a weekend with my iPhone 15 Pro securely attached, tracking my route, and keeping me connected. Nicely built, feels very reliable.
I had the V1 and now got the V2. It is more refined and I really like it also comes with a lower mount for a gopro swivel thingie. The package is very well made with the required hex key and everything you need for mounting.
I use the "front bike mount V2 with the "everyday case for iPhone 14 Pro Max. I have tried many cell phone holders for my mountain bike. Your cell phone holder is by far the best. I makes every ride a lot of fun. You can click it into place and see how stable it is when you are riding. Thankyou for the very good product.
I am not convinced that this product is as great as everyone claims it to be. I will say, the actual locking mechanism is superb. Your phone isn't going anywhere when attached the mount and yet it seamlessly comes off when pressing the side buttons simultaneously. I will also add that claiming you can "flip it up to film your ride" isn't that revolutionary when you realize it's just a provided thumb screw that you have to tighten and loosen while you ride. If your sole purpose is to have a phone mount that's reliable and easy to quickly remove your phone, then absolutely get this mount (if you can afford it) and read no further!
Here's my gripe:
They advertise this mount as being able to rotate/move so that you can film your rides (this is what drew me to this mount). And while you can do that, it's pretty obvious their R&D didn't do much field testing. The out front mount isn't as long as it should be, so when you tilt you mount back your phone will hit the stem of your bike. This only applies to if you're filming in portrait mode, but it's a pretty major flaw IMO. I don't even have a large phone, so I'm not even sure if the large iPhones/Androids would even work. I would love if they offered a second, longer, out front mount. On top of that, when your phone is attached to the mount, there's a slight give/jiggle in the attachment, so your phone shakes a little while you're filming. For how much you have to pay for this mount and the phone case, the locked fit should be tight with no movement so that's pretty disappointing.
