Instead of keeping your phone on one side of head while talking to someone else on a phone , now you gotta put your phone on the handlebar talk while bending down to reach handlebar like you are a bike doctor and trying to listen the heartbeat of the Damn Bike .

After losing a phone on the highway from not using the safety bands on the Ram Mount, I HIGHLY recommend using them, lol.

[@joonae5113]

Same thing happened to me a few months ago. Then after a new phone I have always been using the safety band.

[@hugolencastre3337]

I started with a fake Ram and I notice that in the arm spring start losing the capacity and with the phone weight, in bumps, the phone change place, and from day one I always used the safety bands. After that I change for the quadlock and as been 2 or 3 years without any problem, it's expensive, but now that i need a phone holder in the car, i just need to have the car mount and all works.

The rubber safety net on the ram mount is actually more important than people may think. Especially when going fast. My phone almost flew off one time because I hadn’t bothered to put the rubber net on.

[@clew913]

My rubber net perished after a year, took the bike for a spin without the net, 110kph on a freeway and my phone lands in my lap, heart stopping moment as I found a safe spot to pull over. On my next bike I'll be getting the quadlock adapter, also handy as I'll upgrade the card mount to quadlock to bring it all together

[@denikukalj6687]

I am using QuadLock for almost 2 years now, and as a long-term user I am VERY satisfied with the mount, not only the mount, but the customer service also. Heavy price really does pay off...Quality, stability, looks, clicks, protection and 2 year warranty. It got a bit worn out few months ago, just got a bit shaky because I always ride with my phone and my 660cc, single cylinder engine does vibrate "a bit". I've contacted them, and got a reply in a day. They arranged new mount cap and phone case for me free of charge, making my phone *click* and stay in place like the first time I've done it. Big plus for customer support!

I personally choose to use the RAM X-Grip with the Screw attachment to quick attach and detach from any bar as I own multiple bikes it is nice. It just pivots off a single ball and doesn’t have any arm extension so placement can be a bit of an issue at first. But once you find a good place for it, it is a super solid mount! Not having the additional arms creates less point of failure and vibrations. Overall amazing quality product!

[@kulemt]

The Quad Lock has a “ball” adapter, so if you use a RAM, you can use the arm along with the Quad Lock. The Quad Lock is by far the most secure option, and it’s 4-wheel mount is great as well.

[@esfahan1961]

Had the X Grip but its bulk ultimately made me switch to a Quadlock with the USB power option. The great part is that the phone cover goes with both my motorcycle handlebar AND my bicycle one: fantastic versatility which even the X Grip wouldn't provide you with (too bulky for a bicycle mount!).

[@WagyuYeti]

I started with quad lock but switched to Rokform. I like the overbuilt feeling of the Rokform mount and case. I was never a fan of the odd shaped case from quad lock. Quad lock however did do an excellent job when I used it. It was merely an aesthetics thing for me.

[@paericksen]

I love the Quad Lock system, You might also mention that Quad Lock sells windshield mounts for your automobile and even a belt clip, so the case is usable for more than just your motorcycle or bicycle.

[@Para-ni5lx]

[@bareenlars]

I've used the RAM mount X-grip whitout the rubber band for many many years, and love that it takes my phone(s) no matter what case is on it. Hasn't fallen out yet. Knock on wood.. But yes, not pressing the buttons is a little bit of a learing curve but not a problem. Great video with real life tests!

[@needlesandseats]

I've been using the GUB mount for a very long time and I've never had an ounce of inconvenience. Mine rotates as well but it's rather stiff so it doesn't just move if you bump it. I also enjoy the anti theft thing with the special Allan key you use to secure. If prefer it over the rest.

[@manoz6194]

[@philipe.9466]

Smartphone mounts are known to mess with your phones camera. The vibrations from the engine is what destroys the auto focus and OIS. That's why I'd only mount an old phone to my handlebars.

[@rohinhans7819]

Mine is still fine 1 year in, also know many people who have had quadlock for years no problems

[@philipe.9466]

@@rohinhans7819 It does depend on the phone. Optical image stabilization is pretty complex and uses lots of tiny moving parts. Not every phone has OIS, especially in lower end devices. Without OIS there's less that can break obviously. But considering how many cameras current flagship phones have I'd rather not risk damaging them. Especially since some manufacturers won't cover these types of damages in their warranty. I also find that my phone distracts me from riding. But with voice assistants these days I generally don't feel the need to mount my phone on my handlebars anyways.

[@rohinhans7819]

@@philipe.9466 I'm not sure about other phone brands but apple will cover it. My dad's iPhone had a problem like that from a magnet getting too close to the camera and messed the small magnets in the camera. It dosnt seem to be much of a problem because many use quadlock with out problems

[@philipe.9466]

@@rohinhans7819 Yes it may work for some, but there are also many cases on the internet where people destroyed their new phones cameras. Where the manufacturer didn't repair it under warranty. Another thing to consider is the fact that the phone is exposed to the elements. Rain or harsh sunlight can also kill a phone. If you have a phone with an OLED screen you might also suffer from screen burn in. These are all risks you're running when using these mounts. Again it is possible that you'll never have any of these issues, but they do exist. I think Chaos Causes should have included at least a small warning/disclaimer regarding the risks. I'm personally not going to put my phone in such a mount. Should I ever feel the need to mount a phone on my bike I'm going to use one of my old phones, where damage to the battery or camera don't matter as much.

[@benjaminzuideveld5257]

learnt this the hard way :( Phone camera lasted one ride just yesterday... Never had any issues on a basic phone mounted to a bike I traveled though India with and that got an absolute beating covering 10,000km in 4 months. Guess sophisticated phone camera systems are fragile and next time I find I absolutely need navigation on a bike I will be using an older or more simple phone or dedicated navigation system.

[@theworldofbs5811]

Tackform is by far the best mount I've used. Super strong, as it's made of ALL metal, no plastic, with a super strong spring on the clamp, plus corner rubber bands for when I'm off road. And they look really good too! Well worth the money...

[@JCDenton3]

I have a quadlock, and just got the universal phone mount instead of their case. Way better in my opinion, I kept my waterproof and shockproof case (so I dont have to slip on their rain cover), and it's super secure so far after several months of some very aggressive riding. Definitely give it a shot if you have a phone case you love already.

Quadlock really stepped up their game. I feel like the only reason someone would go to another brand is because of budget. My setup with wireless charging and pivot point on my 23 z900 cost easily $240 including the case. Awesome video! It is very helpful to see all the options in one video.

Just purchased Quad Lock with Vibration Dampener for HD Sport Glide 2021. Using iPhone 12 Pro. Didn’t bother using the long lever it came with and simply mounted to handle bar. It comes with 2 extra rubber insert seals to mount to specific handle bars of different width, so you are definitely good to go with almost all handle bar size. Rode 600 km one trip and never had to adjust the angle. Will get easier to lock phone to Quad Lock with practice, and removing is a breeze with simple push of the blue arm release. It’s expensive but well worth the $$$. If you’ve invested in an expensive phone, best to get the better phone mount for riding. VERY CLEAN LOOK and doesn’t look like it’s there when the phone is removed. Happy and Safe Riding folks!

I’ve been using two equivalents of the GUB mount for 6 months now, one on my bicycle, one on my motorbike. You don’t need to pay anywhere near £13 - mine were £6.99 each. They work fantastically well. True you need a part of your bars that faces you as you can’t adjust the side to side angle (the centre, between the forks, is perfect), but they’re super stable, vibration free due to the plastic shim between bars and mount, unobtrusive, and my phone has never ever shown any signs of moving. You do need a case, true, but who doesn’t have a case for their phone anyway? There really is no reason at all for spending huge amounts on a phone mount, especially when they either need their stupidly expensive phone case to work, or look horrendous, or both.

[@therealsebman]

Careful! None of your suggestions isolates modern Phones with OIS (optical image stabilization) from the vibrations of the Motorbike which can result in damaging your Camera. As far as i know only SP-Connect offers a vibration dampening module. Yes the Phone shakes quite a bit in the holder - but this is something you would want: limiting g-forces on the mechanics of your image stabilization...

[@ThaSideWeed]

Yup, very common issue. I just use a phone without OIS though. If I'm travelling I always have a backup phone, which is relegated to GPS duty when on the bike.

I actually use a similar product to the Quad Lock, made by Rokform. It's actually a really well built piece and has three mounting options, as well as built in magnets for the phone and whatnot to give you more places to put it on various objects. There's no bump on the back of the case to secure it; Instead, there's actually a hole itself in the case to attach to the mount. The mount is super sturdy, and it does have quite a few places to put it, even at angles (it does turn and tilt really easily). Plus you can get mounts for Rokform for your car, belt, etc.

[@DimitarYanev87]

Here’s some feedback after using a GUB on a long trip: due to the lack of dampening, the vibrations ruined my phone as the camera internals and vibration motor broke. So next time I’ll either have a softer phone case or a dampening mount.

[@Northern_]

I've heard that the quadlock ones are notorious for this problem on iphones as well.

I can second this. The all metal design of the GUB makes it a stiff setup so your phone will feel every bump on the road. I noticed the camera on my iPhone 11 was damaged after just one day of commuting to work.

I tried many mounts when I was truck driving cause I installed a pipe on my dash and a semi truck bounces crazy. I will never get another ball adjustment mount or 1 with alot of plastic. My aluminum one is completely plastic free and on my bike, now, it's completely solid. The mount can only rotate either 90 degrees vertical or 90 degrees horizontal, by undoing a screw and taking it apart and then rotate. It's not adjustable like your Gub mount, which is probably why mine is so solid, on my handlebars or in the semi truck that I used to drive. I have probably tried 40 mounts over the years and close to a million miles dealing with them in my semi truck, but this was my favorite. Plastic over time, eventually will weaken by sun and crack but the one I have is completely Aluminum and over 3 years, it doesn't have that plastic weakness. Downside or my mount is, I can't turn it sideways or up and down without taking the mount apart but I never need to do that because I'm always using my phone up and down, so while driving, I love having the more stable, non movable mount. The screw tightens to any of the phones that I tried, but my friend did have a huge square phone that wouldn't fit but would probably not fit in any mount you tried, because of the width of the phone. It was like a tablet but more square and it's not a phone size that I would want anyways, so I am more than happy with mine. Mine was a little more expensive than your Gub mount but not by much, because it's designed for thick phone cases. I don't like phone case mounts like that twist case that requires a phone case to use because I would have to use the phone that they make a phone case for and I go through phones alot and I would have to get a expensive phone, a phone case for that phone, for the mount, and over time, the plastic might get weak and snap. I broke 2 phones because of that style of mount and the ones I had, you had to make sure it was fully in cause I have had issues where only one side went in and it turned, which made me think it was fully in the mount, but it would fall off right when I was driving. On a motorcycle, it would have hit the ground. I hate a rubber mounts and I won't use them.

I've been using Ram X Grip for many years with no issues, still like it. But, I recently switched to the Quad Lock wireless charger mount, and I'm a big fan! It's a lot cleaner looking, and I don't have to plug in my phone.

[@CriticalRider]

Pity you didn't try the wireless charging mount from Quad Lock, it's perfect for long rides. The charging unit is waterproof so you can just pop the phone on the mount and you're good to go for a full day of riding.

[@MashedMoto]

I'm using a GUB Mount, without the "safety net" for a almost 10K Km and haven't had any issues. But I still don't like the look of it, when there is no phone mounted.

Same have one on my dr350 no problems driving through the woods

I have on my both bikes, Versys 650 and CB500x, no issues so far, ridding for more than 20k kms. And both are fine. Phone and support! Hehehehehe

[@3104thunderchild]

yea same here. gub over 2000 km on my klr 650 and cant be stolen easily if you in SA. lol. also on my wr250f and breaks branches. so GUB for me for the win

[@SpikeDawgins]

I have the GUB mount for my Honda Shadow and my Suzuki GSX-s750. For the life of me I can’t understand what this guy has against the GUB. It has been rock solid in my usage and the swivel function has detents that mildly “click” into place to use the phone vertically or horizontally. I tend to over tighten the screw to secure the phone and it has not once damaged my iPhone 7+. I simply pop the phone into the mount, tighten the knurled screw and forget about it. All of this is done with my gauntlets on my hands. The security is top notch. You could dump your bike and your phone will be one of the last things that comes off (if it comes off). Super happy with my GUB.Also, just throw the rubber safety net in the garbage. It doesn’t have any added value in my opinion.

[@NicK-bq2mv]

For me, RAM is the best (thanks for safety straps suggestion) I adapted a footing to mine and use it as desk phone stand as well Very practical

It's the best of what's left...

[@VN9001]

I have the Quad Lock and it's absolutely amazing. Rock solid on my Sport Glide (I got the vibration dampener as well - it works, no problems with my iPhone camera). The materials and construction are top notch quality and their Customer Service is stellar. I've e-mailed them a few times with some questions and each time they're responded within 12 hours (sooner on most). A great reliable product sold through a customer service oriented company. Pretty much unheard of today!

[@delucaexpressinc9710]

Good job. After your video i bought guard lock for sure. Thanks

[@vitordeoliveira6412]

You should test SP Connect, it is brilliant and doesn't tilts like the X-Grip.

[@davidlapolt7403]

I've got the mt-09 as well using a quad lock. I love it and how secure it is, but I've personally smoked my phone's front facing camera because of the vibrations from the engine ruining to camera stabilization system. My phone is still under warranty so I got a new one fairly easily but still something to consider. I do plan on using it still even though my phones camera is at high risk 😂

[@Andreas-vs7vy]

can confirm this. same setup, and already had to replace two iphone because the camera's autofocus broke.

[@russellwalker3301]

Same had the quad lock a week an camera is done

[@Denim330]

SP-Connect has a anti vibration module for their mount. I haven´t tried it or heard reviews how effective it is. I just got myself a cheap huawei redmi 8 i use for navigation and music, so i dont care about the camera and the batterylife is great.

[@jasonlanderson]

Thank you for links they helped so much

[@kessmcdonald6924]

I am quad lock user all the way! I personally use the fork stem mount on my CBR600rr. Very sturdy, easy to use, also looks very nice. You can get different color levers for personalization. If you are worried about vibration at all they make a dampener for that but I don’t find a need. I definitely recommend.

[@hpenvy1106]

the dampener makes your phone wobble like crazy, but thats not the point. The point is, that modern phones have gimbal stabilisation in their cameras and you can mess them up by shaking them too hard. So in comes the dampener. More wobble, less hard shakes&shocks. This applys to any new phone with image stabilisation, but especialy applies to iphones 12 and up.

[@danrhodes852]

@@hpenvy1106 its worth it for the extra 17 quid. Yet to get on the road with mine but im sure it wont disappoint

[@podnucmo5]

I switched from RAM to Quadlock. I am a driver for UberEATS(yes.. on my Vstrom) and am constantly mounting and unmounting the phone. Feels much more secure than RAM and more premium too. I spent much more on it as I bought the wireless charger and shock absorber. Worth every penny imo.

Love ur vids man

[@nastybirdy]

Brilliant review, thank you so much. Been eyeing up the quadlock but uhming and ahing about it. I might take the plunge now. The Babacom is tempting, but I suspect might be too bulky and obtrusive when used with a midi mount on a Royal Enfield Himalayan. The quadlock looks like a good compromise in size and security.

[@fins6561]

Honestly I could never get a phone mount, too much anxiety 😂

[@rohinhans7819]

Get a quadlock, people have gone down and their phones were still on the bike lol

Just got a Quadlock based on this video. I struggled to find a good mount that goes on my mirror, as that is only place on my scooter. Thank you and hopefully it's an awesome mount.

The best mount is NO mount. Enjoy the ride.

1 dislike from that guy who bought mount after this video but his phone yeeted in highway

Bought a particular mount and went for a ride in less than an hour, impressive.

[@talesfromthebike]

I love the TackForm holder for my phone ... all metal, no plastic and a ball joint... and can slip it into the mount with one hand and gloves on with no further adjustment. Rubber band is included if you wanted further security.

[@tcopeful]

The mag cases from quadlock fix pretty much all issues you brought up in this review, no big bulge, no rocking on flat surfaces, and definitely dont catch on your pockets. Plus the magnetic features for the wireless chargers etc are very very nice.

[@EllaBananas]

I've been using a gubb type mount on my motorized bicycle. Which has significantly more intense vibrations than any propper motorcycle. It works great for holding it down, however, it has destroyed two phone cameras. Though admittedly these are phones which have a notoriously sensitive camera. I imagine with a much softer rubber in the strap around the handlebars and an engine that doesn't buzz so bad your hands go numb and extremely itchy it would work super well long term.

[@marciormsantos]

Interesting to see you discarded the Gub. I use one and am very happy with it. Although mine doesn't rotate 360°, it mounts on a cross and can be put vertically or horizontally. It is very sturdy doesn't shake or wobble. Don't use or need the safety net, it's not necessary. Granted that you need to choose the spot on the handle bar that faces front to you.

[@Jerickson788]

I was happy with mine until my phone came off on the highway this weekend

[@JSicking]

I bought a Quad Lock for my bicycle, based on a friend's recommendation and I've been very happy. I just ordered another mount for my motorcycle. I've heard good things about Rokform mounts, but I already had a case and mount for my bike and didn't want to re-purchase them.

[@karlstand]

Excellent video. heads and shoulders better than many videos I've watched on this topic. I would appreciate a review of mounting to stem, handlebar or other please.

[@AnkitKumar-zr7mm]

Thanks, you made my mind clear. I was confused between ram and gud. I will go with ram ram now. 👍

[@flyingpig251]

I find quad lock amazing. Case is strong and not annoying in your pocket. I have a motorbike, bicycle and car windscreen mount. I can pop my phone in no matter what transport I use. They also offer stem mounts, wireless charging, vibration dampeners and recently released solid mounts for any use from kayak to helicopter.
