Gadgets Everyone Loves but Are Actually Terrible!

In today’s video, I’m diving deep into some of the most popular gadgets that everyone seems to love—but are they really as great as the internet claims? After testing these products in real-world, heavy-duty scenarios, I’ve found that some of them just don’t live up to the hype.

First up is the RAM Mount phone holder. It's a widely recommended solution for securing devices in cars, boats, and motorcycles. Despite its popularity, my experience with the RAM Mount has been less than stellar. From issues with stability to components that just don’t hold up, I’ll show you exactly where this product falls short.

Next, I take a look at the Quad Lock phone mount, another favorite among tech enthusiasts and riders. This system comes highly recommended, especially for motorcycles and bicycles. But does it stand up to the rough and tough demands of the West Coast? Spoiler alert: not so much. Watch as I detail the flaws and real-world problems that make this mount less than ideal for serious use.

Finally, I found a solution that truly impressed me—leave it to the Germans to get it right! The SP Connect mount system not only solved the issues I faced with other mounts but also provided the durability and performance I’ve been looking for. With its all-metal construction and innovative design, SP Connect has set a new standard. I’ll walk you through the installation process and show you why this product stands out from the rest.

If you’ve been struggling with phone mounts that just don’t cut it, this video is for you. Check out the detailed comparisons, and if you’re a brand like RAM Mount, Quad Lock, or SP Connect, feel free to reach out—I’d love to share more insights on what works and what doesn’t.

Wranglerstar uses an iPhone, now all the flower hats and women's shirts make sense.

I mount mine in my backpack because a man knows where he is going in the woods. He don't need a phone and gps like some fairy.

Says it’s the best thing ever but hasn’t actually tested it yet.

They would last longer when if you didn't crash as often 😉

Southeast west coast man doesn't put cell phones on his dirt bike! 😂 they all suck.

I remember when "proho" was balls deep about quadlock. as they say... things change.

My front pants pocket is the perfect phone holder.

Cody, do your buddy's that don't have any issues with the other mounts have broken ribs and fingers from crashing their bikes? There might be a common denominator to your mount failures. lol

West coast man can't survive without a constant internet connection

I tighten all my fasteners to German specifications, guten tight.

Android users are having a chuckle because we all know the only folks still picking up those less-than-stellar iPhones are West Coast boomers clinging to decade-old tech, snagged second-hand from the same companies that make the superior Androids. Classic!

Gluing the rubber pads on might be pie in the sky?

The Germans "Perfect solution" sheeesh!

I was expecting gadgets, not just 2 phone mounts
