Had it for about a month. Good mount overall but I can’t have it perfectly leveled as it’s mounted on a part of the handlebar of my bike that’s not fully horizontal…
I’ve been using the PD Motorcycle Bar Mount for several months and have logged many city and country rides on my large bore twin. This new PD mount is unbeatable. It’s perfectly machined and the isolation mount and locking mechanism are such an elegant solution—it locks like magic and stays secure. My iPhone 11 Pro Max stays serenely stable at all revs and speeds and I’ve had no problems with the cameras. And the case is the slickest mounting case you’ll ever see. Before using this new PD mount I was a huge fan of Quadlock which is another great product. Comparing the bulky QL mount and case to the PD mount is like comparing a tractor to a Lamborghini. They both do their job, but you know which one you want!
TL;DR: I feel absolutely confident that the phone stays safe while riding and I can recommend it without hesitation.
This is by far the best and most convenient motorcycle mount I have ever used. It is unobtrusive and looks super sleek. Definitely not as bulky and awkward to use as many of the competitors. The best feature is the MagSafe mounting mechanism. Mounting the phone (horizontal or vertical - your choice, no need for adjustments of the mount) is just a click, and the phone is safely locked. The MagSafe has added security via a mechanical locking mechanism which is easy to unlock with a glove.
Some things I noticed and might be worth mentioning. The relatively soft dampening of the plate is noticeable, but this is obviously necessary to keep your camera optics unharmed. Because of this, the phone may wobble a bit when riding fast. This is only a "cosmetic" issue though (you still can easily read the display). For those accustomed to a ball for fine adjustments of the viewing angle. If you pay attention when mounting the clamp on the handlebar this is should not be an issue.
Disclaimer: I was participating in the public beta-testing of the product. My iPhone (Peak Design case) was mounted for a couple of weeks on a Modern Classic bike.
An essential accessory for every one of your bikes

This mount is a wonderful piece of equipment to have with your bike. The articulation points make it easy to orient the mounting point anywhere you would like it to go during installation and locks into place with bolts so it doesn't move around while you're riding. The connection between the mount and the phone case/universal adapter is absolutely as rock-solid as a Quad Lock with an even more convenient and quick mounting and removal method. The mount feels reliable and solid up to triple-digit speeds, even when using the Universal Adapter on the back of my phone rather than a dedicated case (older Android phone).
Basically, if you want a rock-solid phone mount that allows you to use a case that isn't an oddly-shaped piece of injection-molded plastic, this is your go-to. If you want to have a solid phone mount without sacrificing wireless charging reliability and MagSafe usage, then again, this is your go-to.
Every bike you own should have one of these (or the stem-mount version if compatible with your ride).
If you ride a motorcycle and have a desire to mount your phone in a way that is (a) visible to you, (b) totally secure while moving, and (c) easily removable with one hand; then this Peak Design mount is THE option. Seriously. It is so simple and satisfying to use. This sets the new standard for motorcycle phone mounts.
Have been testing the moto bar mount for about 2 months right now. It is by far the easiest mount out in the market to use. You do not need to find the correct angle for the locking mechanism to work as the magnet will help to align your phone to the mount.
