PEAK DESIGN BETTER THAN QUADLOCK MOTORCYCLE MOUNT ?

[@vailmcc]

I’ve watched this video several times, and each time there’s a Quadlock ad at the beginning. How ironic!

[@alhit007]

Great case and mount but it is flawed as it doesn’t charge with my Audi wireless charger or apple wireless charger or my wireless stand, in fact it doesn’t charge with most other wireless chargers only Quadlocks own devices!! Very disappointing from that perspective, I did try to get in touch and did have a online chat but was told exactly what I just discovered above, so they basically said good luck but only our chargers are recommended, pity they take such a poor customer service stance. But great case just don’t expect it to charge.

I’ve been using Quadlock for some time when they actually launched. The reason why I stopped using their products is that the phone cases are a real pain to remove from the phone. So I had a deeper look into phone mounts and came to look at one of favorite labels. I own quite a few PD products and they’re all fantastic! Now they came to design a whole new concept. The PD case is probably the best case I’ve ever owned for a phone and the mount is great. Albeit being on the more expensive side of things, they nailed it one more time! Great stuff!

[@Ladosligese]

i prefer Quad any day .. phone is alot more secure then on this PD thing .. and i must add .. OFC he thinks PD is better .. he invested 10 k pounds so he wont be telling anyone that quad trumphs it now with the Mag covers

When he shakes the PD the phone wiggles a lot, with the quadlock dampener the phone is still. Is this the case in your experience? Is quad more secure?

[@mikes978]

I plan to start riding soon and have been looking into quadlock and alternatives since they seem kind of bulky and have limited cases. I’m so glad I came across your video and I’m familiar with peak design as they are pretty reputable in the photography world so I’m really excited about these products! Hopefully the charger has come out by now

[@jvillain9946]

peak design has even more limited cases

[@banditismyhandle]

agreed. I still have an S10+ but peak design doesn't go below the S21. I was liking the accessories but I want a case specifically for my phone.

[@kicekap]

This whole idea of PD phone accessories looks like perfect design. I am only wondering how it goes with long-term use of magnetic field for smartphone battery. Personally I don't change phones very often I'm using electronic till they end for good.

i used magnets alot. cases. mounts etc. had the phone for 3 years. no issues.

[@rafaeltorres5201]

Hello! New to your channel and just viewed your demonstration of the Peak motorcycle mount and loved it. I also have the quad lock and i do also have trouble mounted it. With that said, i just ordered the Peak mount for my motorcycle. Keep up the great the work!!

[@martyn_g]

I’m just going to put it out there, I don’t have any issues putting a quad lock on the mount. At all. My only issue is that the vibration dampener doesn’t dampen it enough for my iPhone. (I ride a DR, LOL) what would be REALLY good, is a mount that prevents destruction to iPhone cameras.

[@EvelynAndEleanor]

My fav part of the video is him trying to figure out how quad lock goes on and and locks in. Never had that problem. Maybe if you had extremely bad hand to eye coordination? Or advanced stage parkinson's?

[@nigeltankard6977]

Hi Steve, all the things you said about Quad Lock i completely agree with. Trying to locate thr phone on the mount can be a real pain. I did see the Peak Design at ABR and was really impressed by thier range of accessories and more importantly the quality of thier products

[@HeadBassVTEC]

best Peak Design review I've seen recently got the QuadLock mag case and mount with vibration damper and this looks way better (but also a lot pricier) the best selling point for me is the case, even the slimmer mag quad lock case is so bulky I can't see myself using it everyday, so case swapping for me from Pitaka to QuadLock the Peak Design case looks much slimmer than QuadLock and probably could live with that one every day

[@BustaPhoto22]

I used to work at Camera House (a camera store here in Australia), Peak Design have been making camera straps and attachments for a long time but our Rep came in one day and he knew I was mad about bikes so he brought one of these in when they first launched so that he could show me. After having a look at it for a few minutes I was completely sold on it over my current QuadLock system, purely because I HATE having to try and hunt for the 45⁰ angle to get to QuadLock to mount up... The only reason I didn't get the Peak Design system then was they didn't make a case for my phone yet (Galaxy Note 20 Ultra). Yes I could have got a new case and used the universal mount to stick on the back but I just prefer having the proper case for things. I'm about to switch over to iPhone 14 when they get announced next month and then I'll finally be switching over to the Peak Design mount as well 👌

[@defylifeadventure]

The annoyance for me with Quadlock buying direct was the €10 shipping for each item. I had to change a few things, and later buy a second case for another phone, queue about €30 in various delivery charges for something that could easily be popped into the post. Loved the Peak Design camera mounts I used to have, but it's expensive to switch systems now from QL to PD.

[@thecrowfliescrooked]

That shipping issue always bugged me. I think it’s a cash grab.

[@ABIKETHING]

I understand. Maybe hold out for when three wireless head charger comes from PD. Next year

[@alnikocevic]

I used quad lock never had any issues quick update they do have waterproof wireless mounts for your motorcycle

[@joshnolan8826]

Never thought I’d go away from quad lock especially seeing their release of the MAG edition with the slimmer case! The original case always irritated me with that small hump right in the middle! This is genius and a credit to PD for their beautiful simple design logo also, very nice feature to add on to the already amazing innovative product. The quick magnetic snap to fit the phone to the bike compared to the QL is so simple and effective. I will be sure to be purchasing from you on top of my Denali setup once I’m back in the UK for my SAS. 👍🏻 great video once again.

[@charltheron2769]

Will keep a close eye on PEAK DESIGN as I am about to buy the H2 SXSE+ (once moving over to and settling in Portugal), and might as well 'farkle' it up with different goodies this time round... I have tried many "affixing" systems over the years, and have settled on Quad-Lock some years back given their ease of use and being secure. One bike I have, a 2017 Ninja 1000SX, has an odd octagonal stem hole, so I am, currently, using a hybrid system consisting of (1) Bob Telfer's "Telferizer" stem mount unit designed specifically for a 8-cornered hole, (2) a RAM short arm, and on top of that (3) Quad-Lock's dampener plus (4) Quad-Lock's phone locking unit, added to (5) a UNIVERSAL Quad-Lock unit stuck via 3M's VHB onto the back of a (6) TUDIA phone case. I know; over complicated, but it was necessitated due to (a) Kawasaki's damn odd-shaped octa stem hole ... and (b) using a BlackBerry Key2. *Obvious Question: Do Peak Design's unit fit into octa-shaped hollow handlebar stem holes?* 😀 This is looking seriously good, designed for ease of use and secure, though higher priced than Quad-Lock: I see their products are purportedly "Guaranteed for life" too. (Subscribed)

[@ABIKETHING]

Lots of info. 2 fitting barrels on the stem mount. I’m sure it’ll fit. Send it back if it doesn’t.

So expect another order soon. Thanks Steve great product and super delivery,

[@correykeen2956]

On my GSA I removed the GPS cradle from the accessory bar and installed my Quadlock on there using their mirror mount. It all works very well and the only thing that gets in the way is the windscreen if I use the phone in portrait orientation, which I run it in landscape so I don't block any of the bikes dash. One of my friends uses Peak and loves it. One thing that keeps me with Quadlock is the wireless charging.

Hi Steve, thank you very much for your channel. I love it. I am basically convinced of Peakdesign and I have also used Quadlock in all possible application scenarios to date. After your video, I also bought a Peakdesign case with my new phone. Yesterday my motorbike holder from PD arrived. Unfortunately, I found out today that it doesn't fit. I may be spoiled as a BMW 1250GSA rider, because everything actually fits. Your video also contributed to the fact that I didn't even check it. BUT: Unlike the holder from Quadlock, the one from PEAKDESIGN unfortunately does not fit on a current GSA. At least not in the middle of the handle. The holder is simply too small. And here too, Quadlock has chosen the better design. A screw on both sides allows room for manoeuvre during installation. PITY. Greetings Michael

[@5e11even]

Switched from Quadlock to Peak Design since earlier this year. Pretty solid for my iPhone 12 Pro Max on two bikes (XSR900 and S1000R). I do mainly road riding and had no issues with it staying on or it damaging the phone cameras. Only issues I found is that they are quite pricey and you may need to get a smaller screen protector as the lip of the case will push on screen protectors that go all the way to the edges which will cause bubbling. Ironically though, the Quadlock screen protector fixes bubbling issues since it was an issue on their iPhone 12 cases. So far though, solid product!

[@maxm50]

We've seen good results with the Spigen brand of screen protectors and our (Peak Design) cases, FYI! Some other brands besides Spigen are a little bit too large and yes, they can have interference with the lip of many non-Apple cases.

[@5e11even]

@@maxm50 Hey thanks for the update! I upgraded this year to 14 Pro Max and now using the Spigen screen protector with the Peak Design case. I was worried at first but yes, it's a perfect fit! Great product! As far as some feedback since you're here, I had a few comments on my video and throughout social media about not having a charge mount for motorcycles. For me, it's not really a big deal since I live on a small island and iPhone Pro have good battery life so don't really need to charge but for other's it seems like it might be a deal breaker. Hopefully one is being developed!

[@geno0014]

Thank you for bringing a different option to the table for me other than quadlock. I do like the quadlock system and all the options but I've known about them for years and didn't want to pull the trigger. I knew about peak design because of their camera bags which I have been impressed by and had no idea they had these products available. I realize the wireless charger is a turnoff for people but I don't ride my motorcycle nor bicycle for more than 10hrs in one sitting, so I don't understand the point. If I really need to charge something it is a very simple setup(on my motorcycle, at least). Anyway, appreciate the extra option! I will be getting a case and a mount for both bikes!

[@alanmcdonald370]

Waiting for the wireless charging version. I do wonder though if a weaker magnet setup will be comming out as I see users are having problems with their phones GPS being thrown off while in use and the optical image stabilisation being effected on some phones while recording videos with the case as well as the S-pen not working for Samsungs. I'd use an old phone with the universal attachment to get around these issues but that kind of defeats the point and I'm worried if the magnets could damage the electronic parts on my motorcycle like my speedo digital screen etc overtime as these are even more expensive?

[@alpinab14]

Aww so near yet so far , love everything about the peak mounts and cases and they definitely address a lot of the issues that I have with my own quadlock set up but no wireless charging head , dam, but when they bring that out then I'm 100% in but up until then I just can't recommend this to anyone or get one myself , so come on peak people you have made a great product hear , just hurry up and get that wireless charging released so we can all get on board with this , thanks

@@tomasz5274 your absolutely right , but I think peak will win because they are nearly there all they have to do is add the wireless function and they have nailed it also there fabric cases and accessories are so much nicer than the hard plastic industrial stuff quadlock are using plus I think its going to be a bit harder for quadlock as they have way more work to do like integrate a vibration damper into there bike mount while also combining a snap lock into the mag mount and even then I just think the designers are way ahead at peak because look at peaks lovely thin fabric cases compared to even the new quadlock mag cases which are thinner and a bit nicer than there there old ones but still just plain boring black plastic , so for me even tho I have been and am currently a quadlock user with the full wireless charging head and vibration damper ect for quite some time soon as peak bring out there wireless charging head for the motorbike all my quadlock set up is going on ebay and I will be replacing it all with peak stuff then if it works as good as it hopes I will be recommend peak to everyone which is actually quite a lot of people as with friends but especially Facebook groups (5 separate groups) add up to about 7000 people lol so yea im feeling more excited about the new peak stuff than I am about quadlock now , there's a new player to the market and once people made aware of them I think they will take over , quadlock have been brilliant no doubt but they have had there time I think , what do you reckon ?

@@alpinab14 I expect Quadlock to not give up market so easily and see them trying to catch up. They are also currently most popular.

Soft ones are much nicer but I'd prefer solid one for motorcycle as it is much much easier to clean after ride in rain, bugs etc. They also so far forgot about iPhone SE and possibly some other phone models. Anyway it's great there are still such innovative players on the market which are setting a new standard!

Happy with the quadlock for now, i got a new phone and a new bike so upgraded to the MAG case, which is NOT designed for mounting to a mag head on the bike, I am pretty sure that they stipulate on the site. I use a vent mount with Mag charging head in the car and the standard charging head with damper on the bike. I will agree that there are times when it takes a couple of times to fit, however I don’t think that would justify buying a whole new system. I also had a charger cable installed, because the new bike does not have a 12v adapter available, it’s pretty cool, have it on the setting where it will only charge when the bike is running . I am sure the peak design will sell for those looking for a first time mount, more so if there is a charging option. Barn looks cool, tiger looks nice - put my 900 Rally-Pro in on a Speedmaster Chrome. May see you at the ABR in a couple of weeks

From KZbin videos, Peak Design products feel premium and seems very convenient to use. I own a German Pegasus bicycle / e-bike with a Bosch motor and Intuvia console.

[@mjpt57]

I've been using Quadlock gear for a few years now. One iphone's camera wrecked and a purchased vibration damper (dampener?) later it's all good. BUT, you're right, they can be a PITA to get on and off, especially with gloves and you're using the wireless charger as I do. So, when Peak Design and its phone cases popped up in my feed (from buying a camera strap last week) first hit was your site and this video. I was hooked until I started shopping and saw the prices. Cases aren't cheap but that handlebar clamp/phone holder here in Australia is $176 plus shipping. Add the case and for me it comes out to $256 delivered from a retailer here in Oz. Equivalent Quadlock shipped is $120 AUD for me. I shopped at your site but shipping to Oz killed it, unfortunately. Otherwise the prices were OK compared to here. Looks like I'm saving up for that one. Maybe as take-up of the products spread the prices will come down. Why is it that all the good gear is out of my budget? Being a newly retired type who just wants to ride, I'm finding things that were once affordable are now becoming discretionary (very discretionary) in terms of spending.

The RAM Mount X Grip is awful, but I find their Quick Grip XL an amazing system. It stays super secure on my 701 Enduro during hard off road (and the many falls) and on my 1290 Super Duke R at high speeds.

So the PD screw of the bike mount broke pretty quickly for me .. I love PD products and I thought I would recommend that to you some time but once it broke I held back..

Just that the screw broke and I can’t trust it any more to go on the bike.. 😢.. Just thought I would relay that feedback here.

[@oldsalty3d122]

Thanks for the video, but I'll keep my Rockform, it's similar to the Peak, but you do still need to twist it onto the mount like the Quadlock, but personally I don't think it's as bad. It also has a phone case that is magnetic, and I must say the magnets are really strong. I often teas kids when I put it down on a metal surface and tell them "If you can pick it up you will have the power of Thor!", then watch them struggle to pick it up. But the one thing I really like about it is that it is Magsafe compatible, and it will work with any Magsafe charger, no need to use a preprimary charger. I'm not sure if that is the case with Peak, though you did say that it was Magsafe compatible so it just might use other chargers. Thanks again for the video, but it won't be enough to make me switch, safe riding! 😁

This is great, love the design. but, no wireless charging for motorcycle mount so you still need to connect a cable. Quadlock does offer weatherproof wireless charging. I hope Peak Design will do it as well. Great review!

[@MW_1981]

He is saying this particular brand don't offer wireless charging but Quadlock do and the quadlock version is weatherproof

[@ABIKETHING]

As I mention in the video…..the wireless charger is coming next year

[@SKIAMIALMOG]

Dear Steve! Thank you very much for this new product review and your honesty. Looking forward to your next one Cheers mate Ami

[@TheTopacciolo]

Nice review!! No wireless charging for this correct??

[@LukeTPZ]

Is there any wireless charging with this PD offering??

[@chrisd3394]

👍🏻 great product....i use before buying the bmw connected ride cradle the sp-connect system on bike, car and motorbike

[@scottmcdonald7828]

Great mount just a pity they don't make anything for a samsung flip phone

[@gl2856]

Well I’ve had the quad lock since it came out had it on 3 phones but with the iPhone pro max the phone started to rotate back and forth a few degrees until it became so annoying when using my sat nav, I changed over to SP , that was ok for awhile until I noticed I didn’t quite lock both lugs in position and the case mounting started to bulge a little , both have been ok , but your demo vid has me convinced. So I’ll be sending an order in when I return from holiday , oh ps. My SP case has started to lose its coating the past couple of months. GAL

[@jonmnelson]

I use PD products with my cameras and they’re all brilliant. This looks to be another winner. I’m just wondering whether a thumper like the BMW G650GS might be too much for the dampener.

[@xXMarkWadeyXx]

Hope they make a finger ring attachment, I'm disabled and find it hard to hold my phone. I know there's their case with the loop at the back, but I'd prefer a clip on attachment 👍🏼

[@BelfastBiker]

Quad Lock is great, but man, that Peak Design one is like black magic.

[@blunterwun]

no chargers though?

[@VentiMocha1Rasp]

Great video and review! I appreciate you being very fair on both products -- positive and negative.

[@thearchibaldtuttle]

Know Peak Design for their camera gear. Have full trust in their products! Lovely picture of you and your wife by the way!

[@johnpaterson4163]

Very interesting video Steve, wish you every success. If its the same company I have bought quite a few bits of their camera related equipment, straps etc and find them beautiful design and premium product. I will consider getting a handlebar mount for my GSA, currently just put my phone in the tank bag and use connected app/nav 6 and been happy. A few people are getting the connected cradles, only problem I see is no vibration dampener which is a dealbreaker as I paid top dollar for my iPhone and dont wont the IOS damaged on camera as apple wont cover. Maybe be fine buying a 2nd hand burner phone just for the bike but too much faff for me. The barn coming along great mate, so glad to see you doing so well, your a top bloke. Have a good weekend, see you in the next one.

[@ABIKETHING]

Thanks for the kind words John. Yes I should have mentioned it’s the same guys who do the camera accessories. My own tripod is PD. Excellent quality.

[@ome69]

You mentioned a year ago there was a wireless charger comming, have you any updates regarding this?

[@lpete531]

WOW, what a beautiful and thoughtful design 👍🏽 I have a peak design backpack, they are known for there luggage design, had no idea they make phone accessories. Nice video and thanks for sharing 👍🏽

[@randomcrap763]

Interesting, the only concerns I would have with using the phone on a bike mount are weather, and vibration (Yes I know the damper is there, but no damper like that can stop the high freq vibs from some bikes). Still, this looks like a great system and I'll prob grab one for the cage :)

[@ABIKETHING]

I think the new tiger is a good test bed for the vibes. Bit of a reputation for excessive vibes on the bar

[@randomcrap763]

@@ABIKETHING LOL good point!

[@smoke05s]

4 cylinder vibes are pretty bad. Took out my sons Samsung camera. Please test when you get a chance@@ABIKETHING

[@Roy-ud1db]

I've been buying Quadlock cases and mounts for years. This is my first year I decided to change to Mous. Cheaper, and certainly easier on and off. You're right quadlock can be veryfinicky

[@immikegt]

Great recommendations! And thanks for the Triumph Tiger explanation… jajaja I just waiting for the wireless charger to upgrade my Evotech quadlock mount for this…

[@ryanmalone2681]

Looks good, but it seems to be missing one thing, a mirror mount. I want to mount this on my GS on the bar with the navigation prep, but there doesn’t seem to be a mount for that. Also, lack of wireless charging is a real gap.

[@dalewintle8099]

I have Ultmate addons at the moment but the touch screen is hit and miss was looking at the quadlock but these peak products look just what i`m looking for , little more research but I`m sure I`ll be ordering soon , great channel and content cheers 👍

[@znebsoundgraphy3169]

Absolutely agree with you that quadlock take many times to twist but they just launch the quadlock mag and maybe you turn back to love them again 😁

[@ABIKETHING]

Yes but none of the new mag mounts are waterproof plus what would you rather have holding your phone safe? Plastic or zirconia ceramic with a life time guarantee?

[@znebsoundgraphy3169]

@@ABIKETHING you are correct, next phone I will move to peak design but whole system a lot of money 😭

[@westsussexbikers]

Nice design. One slight worry is having magnets so close to a prone or GPS unit

[@smoke05s]

Should be OK RF is not affected by magnetism. GPS and phone use RF. It will mess with your compass though

[@LasMuchacos]

Does the stem mount work on a bike with a hexagonal stem tube like the ninja 650?

[@ABIKETHING]

Yes it will do but check the diameters first

[@drzrider3440]

Watched a video comparison between the quadlock and a $12 ebay or amazon version...the cheap one held up better than the quad lock and also dampened the vibs better too. I just through mine in my pocket or my tank bag. No vibs. Link it to my Garmin Zumo XT and i have all access to my phone through my Garmin Zumo XT. Calls and music. No more phone holder anywhere on my bike.

[@Bonehead-Chris]

Just found you Steve. Great video, very informative and your humor rules. Thanks!

[@larrydoyle907]

Look really good - didn’t get to the stand at abr as it was always busy when I was going past - the thing I’d miss the most and use all day is the belt clip so without one of those I wouldn’t switch from quadlock Also I have a lot of their kit for multiple motorcycles, phones and bicycle and I’ve even their tripod too and a spare belt clip!

[@davejhanssens]

Love it. I think PD would need to offer a wireless charging function for the car mount, a case my Samsung s20 and a battery pack before i swap over but ill keep an eye out for future releases

[@ABIKETHING]

They already do a wireless car charger mount. We stock it. The bike wireless one is coming this yesr

[@davejhanssens]

@@ABIKETHING fantastic, I'll keep an eye out 👌

[@eannpatawaran6730]

does the universal bar mount have a vibration dampener? what peak design product can i use in my bicycle that will include dampeners? Not sure if the motorcycle mounts will work. Thanks!

[@jamesm5192]

Can you compare the vibration dampener? Damage to the phone isn't the only concern... On very vibratey bikes readability is a concern.

[@kiwi-indianrides]

Any plans or accessories for a Uniden R7? A holder for it would be awesome, like the ram mount magnet mount. Thnx

[@fiso42]

For the EvoTech install, are you sure you repurposed the dampener from the PD motorcycle bar mount? Or was it from the PD stem mount I truly don't understand how you could have mounted that on the Evotech motorbike mount in lieu of the Quad Lock mount. Could you please enlighten us some more?

[@ABIKETHING]

Damper is integral on the peak design mount. You can remove it.

[@kal-px7qd]

You missed out one very important bit of information, how grippy are they to hold I find the Quad lock to be not that great for a non slip type of grip (gel like grip is the best) What is the grip like when holding the phone in hand with PD covers ?

[@TheDacane]

all used to work for apple. That explains why the cases all have a super slim stylish design that seems to offer minimal protection. Without a mirror mount it also becomes expensive and messy to mount to an adv nav bar.

[@stephenspiteri_zunkus]

I own a 2003/4 Street Triple 765RS and would like to fit the stem mount. I'm concerned if it would provide enough clearance. The distance from the stem surface to the top yoke cover bit is 4cm. Is it long enough to fit and also have some vibration clearance?

[@TimNeto]

For the Peak mount, how would you mount to the non-round tube BMW R11##RT series casted handlebars? They are not round except at the grips.

[@matthewkirkland2504]

I may have missed you saying it but does the universal bar mount with the strap have vibration dampening? Great video. I have the same issue with my current quadlock.

[@ABIKETHING]

Only the 2 motorcycle mounts have the vibration damper

[@Jacob8890]

The two motorcycle mounts + the ball and socket mount! The ball mount is for ATV and other of-road uses too. 🙂

[@ABIKETHING]

@@Jacob8890 yes the 1” ball will have it and we will be stocking that too.

[@davidsandilands1285]

Very good vid, very convincing, like to see them in the flesh. One thing I would like is a ability to add a flap to the case to cover the screen wren off the bike. May be it could slide in to the edge of the case. Hence I switch cases when not using the bike.

[@ABIKETHING]

I have a display stand in my showroom. Please pop in and try it.

[@Doubletap6996]

Love your videos Unfortunately peak design and quadlock do not have cases for my phone so so I'll just have to upgrade phones. I just got my 2022 Harley Davidson pan america special. I was wanting to get lights for you can't wait for the video to come out. And I was looking at exactly what you were putting on the Pan America but I was hoping it would tuck in inside the bar.

[@ABIKETHING]

We do 2 bike specific mounts which aren’t here yet. The mounts on our PA are universal bar mounts. Use the bike and product type on our website filter. You’ll see the light mounts on there.

[@CCharlsburg]

Very interesting mate, thanks for the info! Hope they do go down the Wireless charging head route, but more than that I hope they do it properly! I've always had the Quadlock wireless charging head but they've never worked for Samsung phones, 3 generations now of both QL and Galaxy S phones and they failed to become fast charge compatible, so def room for a brand switch I think!!

[@ABIKETHING]

They said it’s definitely coming. These guys seem to have a knack of making it right first time around so I have faith in the new wireless charger when it finally arrives

[@alpinab14]

When you say your wireless charging head doesn't work do you mean it does not charge at all or do you mean it does not fast charge ? Mine with my s22 always charges every time but it does not fast charge infact its pretty slow charge but it does work every time

[@CCharlsburg]

@@alpinab14 Doesn't fast charge and doesn't work as advertised - the phone slowly dying while on tour is exactly what you don't want, the charging head is meant to keep it charged not slow the discharge otherwise it's just a gimmick...which it is.

[@alpinab14]

@@CCharlsburg yea i think your right , when i use my phone with gps and playing tunes connected to my cardo the charge is incredible slow and thats even on a small s22 but my mates massive iphone his phone being bigger and more power hungry his is the same as your , it takes a charge but its that slow a charge that it still ends up discharging , i think quadlock have had there time , once peak designs brings out there wireless charging head i think everyone with a quadlock will be heading over to peak designs to pick up there much nicer cases and mounts

[@flhtc1450]

Very interesting, thanks.. are you guys ready for Apple 14 ??

[@peterdering6602]

Mmhmm

[@ABIKETHING]

Yes, it’s coming. I’m not allowed to share any info on it until authorised by Peak D

[@MegaKane84]

Is the phone case shock resistance if you drop it ?

[@nostromo586]

Apart from small irritation to insert and twist the quadlock on my push bike, I think it is very secure. Not confidence with the 2 tab design on the Peak. It will hold but I don't think it is as tough as the quadlock. Time will tell

[@ketle369]

They do downhill bike riding with it so pretty sure it’s fine for a push bike.

[@Birbal2001]

Interesting...as I was watching this video got lots of Quadlock adverts 🤣🤣 I've been using Peak Design products in the past (mainly photography accessories) and they all very good and high quality

[@alexilot]

idk if id personally trust it and one of the big things for me is being able to change the orientation on the flie and doesnt seem to be able to do that with out taking it off wich is a no for me the search keeps going

[@badjuju6563]

Still waiting for wireless charging on the bike. Will not consider a brand not offering this.

[@razorwired130]

Love this product! Have them design a wallet that can attach to the back of the phone and then have the wallet attach to the bike mount.
