Quad Lock Vibration Dampener - Your motorcycle is destroying your iPhone

This week on MCrider we look at a service bulletin released by Apple about smartphone damage that occurs from mounting a phone to the handlebars. I talk about how using my smartphone on my motorcycle destroyed the camera, and I review one solution that has worked well for me from the Quad Lock Vibration Dampener.
Here are links to the products used in this video. If you have a Quad Lock mount already you can likely add the Vibration dampener to your set up and that is all you would need.
If you are starting fresh like I was, you will need at a minimum the Case, Vibration Dampener, and the Mount. You can also add the Waterproof Charger to this setup and I think it makes it much more convenient.

How it works after a year now? I saw somewhere a comment that along with that damper after a season still lenses were damaged

[@jasonstclair1329]

If ya had an old Nokia brick phone you could tape it to the tire and it wouldn’t care . 😂

[@pureonyx5090]

Those phones were indestructible!!!! All you had to do was swap out the covers 😂😂😂

[@fugitivetattoo]

🤣

[@markcross-powers8206]

Great solution. I had the same mount you were previously using and broke three iPhones in four months this year mounted on my BMW R9T (all under warranty). The article from Apple came out about a month after I was onto phone number four and I had switched mounts. I received the famous customer service line “I’ve never seen that before”, but I guess they had.

[@billsmith5251]

Kevin, I appreciate all your tips and helpful suggestions, but I wanted to pass along my experience using the new Quad Lock solution. Initially, I had my iPhone XS mounted on the Indian-supplied Rokform console mount for my Roadmaster for several years without issue. But in Oct of 2020, the camera lost the ability to focus while riding on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Not knowing why, I let Apple fix it, and moved on. In May of 2021, I decided to install Rokform rigid handlebar mount on my DRZ400. The engine and/or road vibration killed the focus after only 2 hours on only paved roads. That's when I found out about the vibration issue. Based on that Quad Lock graph and their claims, I bought two Quad Lock mounts for both bikes in June, got my phone fixed and had no issues using it all summer on my Roadmaster. However, I just went on a trip to the Smoky Mountains with my DRZ and the new Quad Lock, riding only paved and some excellent forest service roads. The autofocus went out on day two (strike #3). I think the Quad Lock is a reasonable option for 2+ cylinder bikes on the highway, but as far as I'm concerned, only your pocket or on top of a tank bag is an option for off-road use, especially for a thumper bike. As far as what are killer bikes, I think ANY motorcycle or even a mountain bike ridden on trails or poor roads can damage the delicate autofocus or image stabilization of a modern phone. The Quad Lock is like a helmet, better than nothing. My two cents.

[@ImALefty08]

I know this is an old post but in just curious, have you used a Qual lock dampener when that happened? Got my quad lock and have also bought a dampener. After reading your post in now hesitant to put my iPhone 13 in there.

[@BillSmith-qj1md]

@@ImALefty08 sorry that I wasn’t clear, but the quad-lock claims I was referring to was with the dampener, which I had on both bikes. They don’t solve the vibration issues on thumpers or rough/off-road. I’ve had no issues on my touring bike with the quad lock and iPhone XS. If you can see or feel the phone vibrate at all, it will destroy the autofocus.

[@carlose6010]

I see.. will keep my old phone as my bike gps then. No point upgrading

[@Brian-tb1zs]

My T100 killed my IPhone, I did get the quad lock and vibration dampener and no issues since, glad you posted this , I don’t know of any other mount that has a dampener. Thanks !

[@mikeskidmore6754]

Good Info Kevin @MCrider .. I hit a Deer so hard my Speedometer quit working on my Yamaha FZ-07 .. I just installed 2" handle bar risers for my short arms.. I had to make a plate to raise my speedometer two inches .. now it moves when I hit bumps .. My front forks are much stiffer now with Olihn Cartriges.. I think I will had a layer of thick rubber truck intertube between the speedomter and the mount.. I have mounted my Compter GPS componets on the dash of my lime spreader trucks with rubber intertube for insulation ..

[@johnjohnson2855]

I just kept my old iPhone 10 to use on my Harley. I use it for Bluetooth music and gps so if camera goes bad no big deal.

[@r1dutch]

I love the quad lock mounts. I'm using them on all of my bikes. I had a hard crash on my dual sport six weeks ago and the phone never budged. And when I'm touring on the ADV bike it's nice to have a completely waterproof charger.

[@Scottie8740]

You must have bounced back okay and that’s a good thing. Glad you are well and those mounts are impressive. So did you rub some dirt on it and get back to riding? Personally I use a rokform

[@r1dutch]

Not yet. Doctor's orders. Along with some new titanium hardware holding my clavicle back together. Another month and I'll be good to go.

[@Scottie8740]

@@r1dutch Dang Dutch. Sorry to hear that.

[@correykeen2956]

I've been using a Quad Lock on my R1250 GSA for about 6 months. I've got it mounted to the accessory bar and so far no issues with my Samsung S21+ and very little vibrations overall. I have no worries about the phone coming loose with how the case locks into the mount. If any other GS riders are wondering Quad Locks mirror mount fits on the accessory bar.

[@91rickybaker]

Been wandering why my phone was tweaking. Thankfully found this video. I ride a Softail slim

[@chelsearaney9629]

This issue just started with my 12 pro max. I have a 2013 Cbr500r with a quad lock fork stem mount without the dampener.

[@roadglide]

Thanks Kevin! Appreciate the suggestion. But not even a shot of the Rocket III.😭

[@wildmansanimals4418]

Thank you sir. I was just looking for a good mount for my dirtbike to record my rides but this has been enlightening . For what it's worth I have the Samsung s22 and with an amazon holder and about 45+ hours my phone is in perfect working order but my mount has finally broken to multiple pieces (after a wreck) hence why I'm watching your video. Also my videos are trash from the vibration so I hope this helps. Thanks again

[@bradmartin8515]

I've been using a Quad Lock phone mount with my iPhone 11 pro max mounted to my my 2020 Harley Davidson Street Glide since January when I purchased the bike. 8,500 miles later and I have not had a single problem with my phone or the mount, I've been VERY PLEASED. I will be adding the charger to the mount

[@NanaRides]

Thank you for this warning! I had no idea. I'm not going to buy another phone mount, I think instead I will just keep it in my pocket unless I really need it for navigation.

[@6582rg]

I’ve had the 18 GW DCT for 3 years (just like yours) and haven’t had any problems. I guess it shows how smooth the GW is. You didn’t mention your wing as a culprit, so it must not be causing you any problems.

[@MCrider]

The Goldwing is not an issue, I don't mount to the handlebars there.

[@6582rg]

Same 18 GW DCT. No problems at all.

[@paultaylorduke]

The DCT is the transmission, the engine still transmits vibrations, for the price of the dampener I wouldn't risk ruining your $1500 iphone.

[@rocketrollsvlogs7625]

I love my handlebar mount and use my phone vs my android auto on my Africa Twin. My phones cost a fraction of an iPhone so I'm not going to worry about it until it happens.

[@jsfama1217]

did the same to mine. got the quadlock dampener is clutch. havent had any problems since.

[@markpousson5830]

Quad Lock w/ VD does not work well if mounted on Apes and in more of a “vertical” orientation. Vibrates even worse than without the VD! Phone has to be more in a horizontal orientation for this to work. Found that out first hand, almost destroyed my camera on my iPhone as well as some other apps that locked up. Was lucky to find this out without any permeant damage to my iPhone. Went back to my TackForm mount.

[@mikeskidmore6754]

Common sense told me a long time ago not to mount my phone on my Handle bars.. even thought Yamaha FZ-07 handle bars are rubber mounted.. I would think the road shock of hitting bumps would be enough to damage I-phones also falling off and getting run over by a truck .. I carry my phone in my Leg Bag.. and have Blue Tooth for my Pak Talk Slim ear speakers. Works with both my phone and my Garmin Motorcycle GPS .. via Blue Tooth connections..

[@mjpt57]

Peak Design now makes a competing product with a built in dampener. It’s significantly more expensive than the Quadlock, at least here in Australia. Might look at it when it’s more established in the marketplace.

[@gasmann6746]

That’s the same setup I’ve got Kevin works well thanks for the video..👍🏻🇦🇺

[@bluedeval03]

Why no matter what clamp style or the product, I always cut a strip of bicycle inner tube to go between the metal and the clamp to reduce vibration

[@roscoefunnydog]

Same thing happened to my phone, I think this happens when you try to take a picture while connected to the bike. I have a CBR 500 and after a week of riding it claimed my phone

[@allandeal5273]

I use a Tomtom rider 550 gps for my navigation. I was using my smartphone for a gps but started having heat issues. I prefer the tomtom now. It has its quirks, but with over 7k miles on it, It’s my go to. I have it bound to my Sena headset so I am getting my turn by turn in my helmet and don’t have to take my eyes off the road. My phone stays in my pocket where it belongs.

[@MavicAir1]

yes to everything you said. I'll look into that tom Tom

[@tripeee58]

Thank you sir for the timely warning and advice. PS - Nice Man Cave!

[@stickyjoe4749]

What actually damages the camera? the motorcycle/engine vibrations or bumpy roads? I have just an electric scooter regularly driving on some bumpy roads. should I still be concerned for my camera?

[@SMKreitzer1968]

Thanks for the information Kevin, God bless.

[@eddcurry1245]

Thanks for the PSA

[@Jay-rd6fe]

would you also need a vibration dampener whenur just on a scooter or only high powered bike

[@lobolj53]

Word of advice. Becareful in high temp zones with wireless chargers, they can fry your battery, I've had to replace one already. When it's a hot day and your phone is fully charged or has decent charge unplug the charger and charge in cooler temps, or charge with the phone off. I used a Ram wireless charger and Samsung S21 Ultra. Now I've gone back to wired charging, because my new case doesn't allow for wireless charging.

[@marijamiljus6321]

I tried putting vibration dampener but when i put the last part on and screw it, it just pops rubber out and i have no idea what im doing wrong

[@jenkins1979]

Hi Kevin,is the problem with just Iphone? I have a Motorola Android phone and have had no problem yet.

[@ChadFB]

I brought and use the quadlock system including the vibration damper and they DO NOT SAVE YOUR PHONE. new phones camera still broke even with the damper.

[@kyle2109]

Ah, could be why images captured with magnifier on my iPhone 7 doesn’t focus accurately. I rode with it on a Ram X-Mount attached to the handlebar on my NC700X.

[@long_vacation_tour]

I have the same issue with my Huawei P30 pro and Suzuki V Strom

[@betruly7894]

iPhone will never stop surprising us 🤣

[@kenjikenjikenj]

To people saying get another brand of phone, I don't think Android phones are exempt from this issue either. It's just that Apple sells so many of each model so they were probably able to collect enough data. I have a S21 Ultra btw

[@MCrider]

I agree, it depends on if the phone has stabilization or the type of autofocus. Not the brand of phone.

[@j.a.7721]

I wonder if it's something related to iPhone only? I prefer Google phone. No problem here so far

[@Cybeq]

My iPhone 11's camera was damaged while using a Rokform case and mount on a KTM 390 Adventure. Same symptoms as yours, but I think my warrantee is expired.

[@georgearroyo3434]

Kevin I went to a Indian Challenger and it seems that the handlebars are too thick for the mounting bracket. What do you do on your challenger? Do you keep it in the side compartment and use the carplay Function?

[@MCrider]

Yes, side compartment and charging.

[@charlesharrisiii6356]

No issues on my Samsung Note 10+ ☺

[@hzqqqqqq]

hello sir. does quadlock fork stem mount produce more vibration compared to quadlock handlebar mount?

[@enormouslittlethings6893]

Hahahahaha! I am currently experiencing this exact camera problem. Thanks for the info!

[@MCrider]

No worries!

[@dapperstuff]

it’s been a year later, you still happy and phone still OK?

[@MCrider]

No problems for me.

[@sgeorge1988]

My iphone Xr just got destroyed last week

[@dekkor]

I've now been through three camera modules and that was WITH the vibration damping unit from SP Connect. I fear that the only way that I know of to keep your camera functioning is to put the phone in your pocket or backpack. Really disappointing given that I have a vibration damping unit on all three of my motos. All of which are unfortunately useless IMHO.

[@MCrider]

Was that with the Quad Lock Dampener?

[@wobblysauce]

Still use a 6s, and never had an issue with it, but the iPhone 6s doesn't have optical image stabilization to mess up.

[@dekkor]

@@MCrider to be fair, no. This was with the SP Connect vibration module which is a similar product. Friends who have the Quadlock have reported a similar fate. I've edited my comment to reflect this.

[@mike-uh8rk]

Quick tripp??? Out door couple hours later

[@RedNeckBiker109]

@moskomoto makes a great adaptation for this. They did a video on this about a year ago... It works pretty well, attaches to your tank bag.

[@jayzed6662]

[@MrBulli69]

No problem with Samsung s20 on vfr800, guess the bike is just a smoother engine. I did fit the vibration damper to gain a little more height but that was after I did 1500 miles in 4 days on the NC500

[@raybligh9896]

You are better off carrying your phone in your jacket if you have an accident. You never know what will happen. At least it will be with you if you need it.All bluetooth functions will still work. Just a thought!

[@williamwintemberg]

Me too! 100% agree.

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

Yeah, Apple's still a BUSINESS... SO they're most interested in "problem motorcycles" that will kill an iphone before the warranty is out... Once they no longer have to give you a free repair or whatever, you're on your own... SO no, that list is GOING to be less than complete. Here's a decent (not perfect) litmus test for you though. Start your motorcycle and get through the "warm up" period, so the "low rpm idle" settles in, since this is probably 90% of your riding condition on the bike. Rest a hand on the wrist over a handlebar and watch your finger tips... if they bounce around, you've got "deadly vibrations"... You can usually feel it, but some of us aren't as sensitive as others... AND like I warned, NOT perfect... You may be inclined to try the test while you're on the road, which is fine, though I can recommend using specifically your LEFT hand for that one, since you'll need the right to maintain throttle for testing "at speed"... just in case the vibrations may change... AND yes, you can test just as well with your palm up as you can palm down (regarding visibility of your fingers). DON'T lose track of the fact you're on the road, though. It's a simple enough test, and either you've got deadly vibrations, prefer to err on the side of caution (just assume they're deadly and get the damper) or you don't... and you don't mind risking your phone on that assessment. Pretty much all electronics are sensitive to vibrations, so any Camera, GPS, or other electronic gizmo is likely to be eventually adversely effected by riding around attached to a motorcycle... That's just worth a mention somewhere. You can find dampeners and the like to prolong the life, but they likely only reduce harm rather than quite eliminate it entirely... just to be clear. ;o)

[@t.s.racing]

Thank you Kevin for all that you do. I don't ever have any electronic distractions on my road bikes, but this may help someone. I truly believe that I lost a new smart phone 3 years ago from the high frequency while T.I.G. welding the engine mounting plate on my drag bike. It was a expensive lesson, but I'm grateful for the lesson learned. Hopefully I can help someone else. Now when I weld any material I make sure that my smart phone is off, as well as far away from my welding power source. GOD BLESS YOU SIR.

[@michaellee3687]

The answer is not to mount a phone on the handle bars to begin with. It is disappointing to hear an "safety instructor" promoting distracted riding.

[@billsawyer5265]

phone always in my coat, in case I get separated from my bike.

[@donmoore481]

The vibration issue destroying things is nothing new. I have been wearing Seiko Sportsmatic 5 self winding mechanical watches since I picked my first one up in Vietnam in 1966. Over the years I have gone through a dozen of these watches while riding hundreds of thousands of miles on motorcycles. Having them rebuilt or repaired over the years, the repair shops eventually tell me that the vibration destroyed the internals of the watches and prevents their repair after about 5 years. The worse offender was my Norton Atlas and my little Yamaha RD 250B two stroke that I rode from 1968 through the early 2000s. I couldn't get 3 years out of the watches. The repair shop told me it just destroyed the mechanisms. Unfortunately, the Seiko Sportsmatic 5's are no longer available in the United States unless you order them on line from dealers in South America or Japan. Since switching to Harleys in 1995 through today, I have been averaging 8 years per watch, about what you would expect from a mechanical watch. I keep my cell phone in my pocket.

[@billcarson1966]

I've never mounted my phone because I knew the vibration wouldn't be good for it. When I need GPS, I just use my bluetooth speakers in my helmet or ear buds. My main reason is that I don't use a windshield or fairing and I've seen too many rider's phones come loose and go skipping down the asphalt at 60mph or small rocks, bugs and debris smacking into it. I also don't like a phone baking in the hot sun. That can do some serious damage. I prefer to keep my phone in my jacket or pants pocket.

[@NCSRiding]

Don’t trust quad lock whatsoever. I bought the vibration mount and it destroyed my camera. That being said. I’m looking into an actual gps navigation system. Quadlock is GARBAGE.

[@mjpt57]

Yeah, iPhone 11 Pro Max camera wrecked. Mounted on the Quadlock wireless charger unit but no vibration dampener. Bike, 2014 Suzuki Vstrom 1000 (DL1000A). I pulled up somewhere to take photos. Camera not focusing. A friend told me about this vibration issue. Phone nearly 3 years old. Cheaper to buy a new one. iPhone 13 Pro Max. Even with the dampener I still worry as the camera is important to me. Don’t want to wreck it.

[@drzrider3440]

Got mine on the X grip. I no longer mount my phone. Only cost me $6 to install a new camera into my phone, so not a big deal. But i saw a video comparing the quad lock to a cheap $12 amazon version of the quad lock...even with the vibration damping, the cheap nock off was better. Stood up stronger and had less vibs. Buy a Garmin Zumo XT and link your phone to the garmin. Can access everything from the garmin and your phone can sit in you side bags or tank bag or your inside jscket pocket....zero vibs that way.

[@igorg003]

I've ruined 2 cameras on a yamaha bolt...thing rumbles wonderfully but death for the camera. The 2020 katana has a decent amount of vibrations...so I have to get the quad lock now. Getting way to expensive to keep buying new phones. 😣

[@patrickhollis5332]

It’s in the small small print AKA HIGH POWERED PROFIT MARGIN I’m all for people making money but Apple could do better I’ve had iPhones from the first one but everything electronic is made to last their profit margins is all it is

[@TB-yh1eh]

Yup, my Indian Scout killed 3 iPhone cameras using a Rokform mount. Have been using the Quadlock with the vibration dampener now for almost a year on my Indian Springfield with no issues. Does the Quadlock vibration dampener look attractive? HELL NO! It’s pretty much ugly as sin, and getting it set up correctly with the right angles was a PITA, but it does the job; so I guess that is the trade off.

[@roncolquitt456]

The real lesson is: don't buy iPhone! Not a problem with Samsung Notes, which, btw, have totally superior cameras to iPhone. I've ridden 10s of thousands of miles with my Samsung Notes with no issues. My current Note 20 Ultra has been on my 2013 Road King for at least 10k miles with no problems.

[@stringtwister7654]

Just get a android, problem solved! I've been using a Motorola smart phone for 3 years, probably 10k miles and zero problems. Been backpacking with friends who have I phones and they couldn't get a call out. Guess what my Motorola would!!!

[@mp6814]

Extremely expensive toy not suited for the task. This is why I use my $140 Android - a few times taken for an iPh... - and never experience this type of problems. One more reason, in addition to the bad customer attitude (spying, lies) to never look in this direction.

[@joemann7971]

Handlebars aren't the best place for phones. A tank bag with a place to put your phone would be ideal. Your tank won't vibrate nearly as much as your handlebars. It would require you to look down to look at the GPS if that's what you're using. Not to mention, the bag itself is an additional vibration dampener.

[@porresgary]

Drove a simple street route of 8 mins with the vibration dampener and without. Installed a vibration app on my phone and my simple tests shows that the phone shakes less without the vibration dampeners. Not sure what to think about this product at this point. My app says the phone shakes less with no vibration dampeners. Also the phone visibly shakes less without the dampeners. I would add images but can’t on this thread, however, I recommend you guys all run your own independent test.

Apple is really good at supporting their customers?? No, in fact they make it nearly impossible to perform 3rd-party repair their devices, they add fees to any Apple compatible peripherals sold, and they obsolete your old devices by pushing performance nerfs.

Your wireless induction charger is going to be a problem in the summertime. It generates way too much heat in the phone likes to shut down. Better off plugging it in
