iPhone Mount

pmb

Hey all,

this has probably been mentioned a few times on here before but I had a quick scroll and couldnt find anything.

Has anybody got any recommendations for mounting/carrying an iPhone. I use the Strava app but would love to make it visible and easy to use. Anyt houghts?

It's a personal opinion, but I wouldn't trust my €600 phone to a handlebar mount.

This looks ideal - I was looking at far more expensive options. Does the mount pop on and off easily to move between bikes?

+1 for this, I'm using it (well, the iPhone 4 version) as well and very happy with it.

It uses a plastic clamp that goes around the handlebar stem - the clip is like one of those hose clips you see on gas pipes/tubing - has a plastic screw to keep the clip tight. See the band clamp pic on http://www.topeak.com/products/bags/smartphone_drybag_4in_2 . Not sure if you could buy a second one - would be handy for swapping.

Yeah it's straight forward enough. Just a a plastic strap and a plastic screw. It's heavy plastic and is very strong. The holder clips off with a button so you have the option of leaving the handlebar mount on.

I'm using a Topeak RideCase for mine. It's really solidly attached by replacing the stem top cap. There's no way it's working loose. I think it was ~£25 off Amazon

These are pricey @ €49.99 but look bomb-proof.



Amazon have them for stg£29.99 with free delivery though.

I have 2 from Topeak for iphone 5

Waterproof dry bag which I used for mountain biking
Hardcase for the road bike.

I have the stem cap mount on each bike and can quicky change its a very good system and never had any problems.

I have the Topeak Ridecase. It's very robust. You can attach it to the stem or the the handlebars. I tried it attached to the stem on my first spin with it, the only problem is that it's not directly in your field of view, so you need to tilt you head down to see it (if you no what I mean). I moved it so that it protrudes out front from the bars, and I think this is a better position. I wouldn't have any concerns with the phone popping out of the holder.
