I tested it on my Motorcycle as soon as I bought it a few weeks ago. I noted that there is no vibration, the fit is superb. Now I can use the phone's navigator safely.
I originally purchased the Out Front Bike Mount but couldn't find room on the handlebars to do anything but landscape, which doesn't work well with some applications (in particular the one that controls my garage door opener). I ordered a motorcycle mount forgetting I already had one from the crowdfunding campaign, but it worked out great because now I've got one for my other bike as well. The longer arm of the motorcycle mount allows for portrait or landscape mounting and keeps the phone clear of the bike's status LCD and brakes/shifters/bell. I may use the bike mount for an action camera, but I'm unlikely to use it for any phone other than maybe an iPhone mini because of the space constraints.
I bought a couple of the bike mounts and a motorcycle mount way back in the crowd funding stage. I picked up a couple Rad Power Bikes for the family and was trying to use the out front bike mounts. They fit but with the LCD screen included with the bikes for monitoring battery and mode and speed there was only room to put the phone in landscape, and not at a great viewing angle. The motorcycle mount with it's longer arm that isn't locked to a specific direction works much better, and I can use/see my phone in portrait or landscape and the locking mechanism is amazing and easy to use.
I bought this with skepticism, but was surprised it has made my life so much easier. No more fiddling to mount my phone like Quadlock. It has Magsafe so I can continue to use Magsafe accessories or charging, as well as the ability to demount my phone with one hand. It also magnetically attached to the mount which is pretty. If you look up strength tests on Youtube, this mount was significantly stronger than every other competitor, even Quadlock. It may not look like a strong mount, but this thing is a beast. This thing is worth every penny!
LOVE this motorcycle cell bracket! Vibration damping and a nice positive "click" when you engage the phone to the mount. You know it's attached well when you hear the "click." Bracket made out of strong aluminum. Smooth, attractive design. Very happy. Got it at my favorite motorcycle parts store, Touratech-USA.
I bought the case for my iPhone (coming from the leather slim) and find it to be of good quality and aesthetic. It’s slim fitting which I love and super secure on the motorcycle bar mount. I just purchased a Ducati Scrambler with no windshield and rode it 900 miles back home from the dealership (good adventure for sure). At first I thought the dampening part was too flimsy and would cause my iPhone camera to mess up like others had. I was wrong! It did vibrate with the motion of the bumps and off road tires but nothing to bad and the sensitive iPhone camera still works great. I got a few compliments along the way as well from folks checking out the bike and setup.
My only issue is the adaptor part to the handlebar is not very big and thus not able to fit on the area of the bar I would have chosen.
I recently brought this mount to replace a QUAD Lock mount for improved functionality, usability, simplicity and reliability. I could not be happier. Has all the benefits that I had with the QUAD Lock and more. Far simpler to use and more secure. Fantastic product.
