What kinda iPhone?? Because the newer ones are waterproof in them selves…. Pair with a quad lock case and holder to handlebars and sorted. As for Bluetooth. They’re all pretty decent and if it’s just to listen to sat nav or a bit of music some of the cheap ones on amazon are more than serviceable. If you’re looking to pair up to others.. I think they’re all a load of shite. I’ve interphone ucom8 (3 units)cost a fortune and even at that it’s so so at best as my unit keeps disconnecting and won’t reconnect without switching off and on again!

Peak design mount has a built in vibration damper, I use it on my android phone and never had any issues with the camera??

+It's a magnetic mount with locking mechanism,way easier to use than the quad lock??

I’ve always used quad lock. Can be a bit pricey but decent bit of kit. I added the vibration dampener but even before this I never had any issues with my phone getting damaged

Same as me on my Triumph tiger. I’ve added the wireless charger so I don’t drain the battery when I’m listening to music or using the satnav. Highly reccomend the quad lock stuff. I have a suction mount in my car and a bar mount on my bicycle too.

If you’ve a spare case look up Temu if you don’t wish to pay for the quad lock.. knock off all be it plastic but does the trick and you can purchase dampers for them too.. drawback is they come with a sticker to attach lock to back of a phone case… make sure it’s clean and I put a few spots of superglue (belt and braces)

You can get a copy of the quad locks on AliExpress for a fiver and they’re indistinguishable in my opinion. I use those in my motorbike and bike (cue someone telling me they’ll snap and fall off lol. No they won’t).

I use a freak mount and a old phone I don't care about - magnets are so super strong, no issues.

As others have said vibrations kill phones cameras

I've done 1000s of miles with my quadlock and can't fault it. No camera issues, and you can get a waterproof cover that goes over the top of the case to keep your phone dry

I use a quadlock. But i regret it a little as the car windscreen holder is really poor (they have a new one out but i cant justify the money for it again!). Its expensive but has worked great on my bike (vfr800)

I really rate all the quadlock stuff. Yes it’s expensive but I think it’s worth the money. I have the windscreen mount in both of my cars and I have anti vibration bar mount on my triumph tiger with wireless charging added. I’ve also got a bar mount on both my bicycles and I have a selfie stick/tripod that I use a lot.

I made the mistake of taking the windscreen mout out of one car to fit into another....the sticky bit on the black rubber dissapeared so it now wont stick to any window. Feel like the suction mechanism should be good enough to remove and refit more than once. I might just have been unlucky with mine.

As phones claim to be water proof now I just use a cheapy bicycle one from Halfords, had one on each of my speed triples and have always worked a charm. Rubber bits hook over the corner of your phone so fits most sizes, only thing is you need to be able to mount them to the bars. But have always worked well for me been in some mental downpours as well

Quadlock pro ( chrome finish) on my harley twin cam with vibration damper and charging head. Shakes like a bugger at traffic lights with no dramas on phone ( samsung s25 uktra). Blue tooth to infotainment system and Sena headsets.

Also use quadlock on my other bikes including an enduro when going Greenlaning. Never lost a phone or knackered a camera..

Looked at quad lock, but was very expensive by the time you buy all the bits and pieces needed to make it work.

Ended up buying an aoocci 3 unit, clamps on the bars, wired into bikes electrics. Shows me where I need to go and save a few quid at the same time. Win win for me
