Phone holder for mountain bike

Daniogroove

Just wondering has anyone came across a phone holder that would be able to take the knocks and bumps of mountain biking without sending my phone flying.
I want it so I can record some of my rides. Theres a few on ebay but some of them say "not for off-road use", so since they all basically look the same I figure it applies to all of them.
Anyone seen ones anywhere else or know anyones that has one? I dont want to go down the head or chest cam route as I already have a phone with full HD recording.

cheers

If it's an iPhone, here's an option

Stick it in a pocket. GPS will still work, in my experience.

I think he's talking about recording HD video.


p.s. I agree that using a super expensive, fragile camera is not a good idea. I spent more like €300 on my cycling camera and accessories, but it's waterproof, shock proof, lightweight, 360 degree lens, etc etc. . .

Ah, yes. HD.

I wouldn't go MTBing with a expensive phone attached to my bike. Maybe other people crash less often than I do.

I'm with Lumen on this ..... wouldn't even think about riding my mountain bike offroad with my i-phone attached to the bars!

You are better off with either a cheap DVR (Muvo or Muvo alike) that may not survive a big knock or a proper DVR like a GoPro that can take a hiding.

Vibration would probably be a big problem if you were moving fast enough to shoot anything worth watching!

Also the kind of crash that may leave you needing to use your phone would probably be the kind of crash that would make smithereens of a mounted phone.
