Hey guys, so you mind recommend motorcycle phone holder with vibration damper? Except quad lock cause I'm using El cheapo android phone.

Does it actually work though

Wanna ask that also

I use quad lock. Worth it.

How much is it? Need to buy through their official website?
For a normal Android phone (non-flagship) need to buy their universal stick on lock onto the back of the phone, then you can't place your phone flat on the table though
What about the usual phone mounts that delivery riders use? Not good? Those like motowolf.. basic lock onto handlebar and kepit your phone

adui! so expensive!!!

btw guys, do u all have phone heating problem? coz operate under hot sun + GPS + sealed cover...

how to resolve that?

can't be helped i guess.
even in a car, with AC on and the phone under the windshield will be hot
what more in a sealed cover. .confirm all heat trapped inside

Those motowolf mounts are also fine...im just using a cheap copy of ram mount and its ok..i dont use it often..but it works well enough... Had a similar one before but it broke after being on the bike for 3 years...lucky i had a tether so it didnt just fall to the ground.

But yeah..basic mounts work fine....just add a tether to be safe

Had the same issue long ago....i leave some of the zipper open to allow some airflow....helped abit...but after that i just switched to x grip style holder n it got much better..then i changed phone and even better!

Hahahahha

okie.. maybe just a rubber band around the mount itself and the phone
but those x grip / ram / motowolf aren't waterproof, unless put in the sealed cover
or like you said, change phone.. haha an even more expensive solution

I bought it direct from their site, around 200myr i guess. Sometimes they have sales like during black Friday last weekend. I think local sellers also sell it on shopee and lzd.

Sticked it to a casing non-soft touch tpu with a spare casing if i am not riding. Lol.

I use the fake china quad lock mount for 1.5 years which cost 15rm. Its cross compatible with original quad lock. Its a 1:1 copy. But the original quad lock 3M tape (that sticks to your phone case) is better quality. The mount itself is identical.

But my phone doesnt have optical stabilization and is IP69X and MIL-STD 810 rated. No problems so far after 30k km. And i ride a big single which has horrible vibration. And I dont need to bother about rain and charging it as it has a crazy 13200mah battery and proper waterproof.

personally i'm using that too, which i feel it does work, and cheaper than quad lock abit

for bike specific phone, is better to get 2nd hand phone or older android just for bike usage. so you don't need to worry much about vibration and such.

Also ensure the phone have waterproof/resistant rating.

I am looking for 1 for GPS. Thought of getting Garmin but I think overkill of kapchai.
Any recommendation on model?

Initially I used motowolf phone holder. I like it very much. Easy to put on phone and take out. I used hotel head shower plastic cover to cover the phone when it rains heavily.

Later I followed my friend to purchase quad lock when his phone camera became faulty due to vibration.

I got this from Taobao, with wireless charging option.

Works well, but then, don't expect 100% elimination of vibration.
I still get wavy video recording from vibration on my Xiaomi 9SE phone.

Those are pretty good for overall use, not easy for people to snatch your phone off the holder while waiting at traffic light.

Only beef I have with phone mounted on handle bar, you need to nod your head to look at it and taking your line of sight off the road ahead of you. Not wise from safety perspective. If you have full face helmet, it's more pronounce with the head nodding effect.

People complain about vibration and phone, is when your phone has optical image stabilizer (OIS) in your camera ie. floating lenses or sensors. Vibration will kill them sooner or later.

Garmin Zumo is great little GPS for bike, if you can afford.
However....... they are discontinuing map supply entirely, starting July 2023.

You best bet nowadays, move to mobile phone.
Yeah, those navigation apps sucks, not like dedicated Garmin...
but it's the only viable options now, until someone come up with interface like Garmin.

Seal cover, including those waterproof bag that let you place your phone under a transparent cover, really heat up the phone.

I gave up on those.

Just get yourself a waterproof phone.
