If the microphone sounds weird, it's because you have now idea how WINDY it was XD We saved the audio in post-production. Thanks for understanding :)

Hey Charles thanks for sharing your experience. I have been using quad lock for 8 years and love it. To record all your data on your phone (no need for 2 devices), try Cyclemeter. It connects to all Bluetooth sensors and It exports your ride to Strava automatically when you finish. I measure speed (wahoo sensor), heart rate (polar sensor) and power + cadence (Assioma pedals). Works flawlessly and with a relatively new phone I can do 6 hour rides without battery issues.

This is a good product but everyone should be aware that mounting your phone on your bike like this will damage your optical image stabilization (OIS) of your phones camera(s) over time. This is because of all the vibrations the phone will experience that it isn't designed for. I experienced this with my phone camera and subsequently bought a Karoo 2 so as not to further damage my phone cameras.

I got Quad Lock about a couple months ago and absolutely love it! Got the poncho for when it rains, the out front mount and the ring stand and I love them all!

I ran into the same thing when I first got mine trying to get it locked in just right - but now I got it down.

Only bummer is just a couple of months after getting mine, they launch the MagSafe case!

Quad Lock is about three times expensive compared to Tusita available on Amazon. The Tusita lock system is compatible with Quad Lock cases and vice versa.

Hi, what navigation apps ( if any) do you use and what are your battery saving tips ? Thanks

I HATE to have my phone in my jersey pockets, so i'm using a Quadlock holder on the stem and have my Karoo 2 on a classic GPS mount, perfect combo !

Hi Charles, I think it would be great to tell at the beginning of the video that this video is sponsored by Quadlock just to be transparent with your audience =) Good content!

Cool vid. Great scenes. Vibrant outfit.

Tip: if you turn the release tab (the blue thing) 90⁰ it's a lot easier to use while riding

Been using quadlock since I starting road cycling 2 years ago. Only downside is battery life can be an issue when running strava onscreen constantly. Otherwise it saves hundreds on purchasing a high end bike computer.

I have been using a QuadLock with my iPhone for years now. One thing I would add to your presentation is that there are a number of very full featured cycling apps for iOS or Android that can turn your phone into a damn nice cycling computer. Of all of these apps, and I have tried just about all of them, Cyclemeter is by far the best. It offers much of the functionality of the best cycle computers, including left-right pedal power. I do carry a portable battery that mounts to my handlebars. So if I go on a full day ride, I connect my phone to the battery.

I can appreciate that you might want to access your phone more as a creator, but I like putting my phone in my jersey pocket and just riding with no distractions.

Tip: phones have driving modes designed for hands free usage in vehicles, with larger buttons, simpler displays, and screen dimming features.
