Best Handlebar Phone Mounts - Retested

Phone mounts for motorcycles and mountain bikes come with the most intense marketing jargon. D.O.D. pins the mumbo jumbo to the mat and takes these phone holders to the trails to see which is best.

Man, F9 gets a lot of milage from that CVT cone.

...and this is why I love watching you: if there is a mistake, or people are confused, you expand and reupload with additional data. The amazing storytelling, humour, and overall just great content of course also help.

Thanks for the feedback team! You all make us sharper. ~RF9

As someone who does vibration analysis for work, I'd be interested in seeing the raw accelerometer data to see what ASD levels each mount produces, i.e. the frequency content of the measured vibrations

Reuploading to correct your methodology is why you're trusted. Thanks.

When my stolen motorcycle was recovered I found the thief had removed my quadlock and installed a ram mount for himself. I was more offended by that than the theft itself.

The Peak Design moto mount has been bomb proof for me and a few others I ride with. And the cases are slick, protect the phone, and still keep a decent feel on the buttons. And it puts you into the RAM ecosystem. They really did nail it on their mounts.

I don't want to encourage skipping but 7:13 for anyone who saw the first part already.

Thanks for taking the feedback and updating. Although what I actually want to know is how well they do WITH the vibration damper. Cause anyone that is concerned about it is going to get that anyway

I'm glad you took the time to update and repost this video. I wish you had included the available vibration dampers in the tests, they do cost more money but in the case of quadlock (which is the only one of these I have used), I was happy to buy the add-on to protect the well over $1000 phone I use it for and I would be interested in independent testing to see how effective it really is

What an amazing move guys!
Re editing and shooting some parts to ensure better and more accurate results! 👍🏼

Peak Design mount comes with vibration dampening already included, and the case is really nice, i’ve had one for a few months now and no complaints !

[TazawaTanks]

Team Peak Design here. I have two of their motorcycle mounts. Hands-down the best in my opinion.

Hey! Cool video as always! I do have one question though: In some of the cuts of footage from the accelerometer tests, I can see that the accelerometer is attached directly to the phone mount. Wouldn’t it be a much more representative test, with perhaps a different outcome, if you attached the accelerometer to a phone on the phone mount? Feels to me like the added mass could quite significantly impact your vibration tests! <3

Absolutely one of the best channels on YouTube. The previous phone mount video is the only time I've ever seen overwhelmingly negative comments, and instead of just letting that slide you went and improved the video with math to backup your findings. I found the original video came off a lot like an SP connect advert, where is this one definitely comes off like an actual analysis of quality. Thanks to the team at Fortnine for continuing the unbelievable quality you've always had

[arachnodose]

Another great video, it's great that you reposted an edited video with additional information

Me: "I'm not a kid anymore!"
Also, me: "Haha. Big rubber cone funny"

I was trying to re-watch this video yesterday and couldn't find it. Thanks for the update, team!

Peak Design FTW. After scrutinizing options, and barely stomaching the price, I wouldn't consider anything else. The vibration damping, options for vehicle and home mounts, ease of mounting/unmounting, durability, and design are overall better than the other options...at a price. No issues running it on my Monster for the last year.
I do like the RAM Mount ecosystem and still have one in my truck, needing to position my phone very carefully to avoid turning the volume all the way up. I wouldn't use one on my bike for all the reasons.
Awesome video, but please do a full review on the Peak Design. I'd like to see what downsides you find.

Superb revision. I really love watching F9's videos!
