Quad lock make an adaptor that can be just stuck onto the phone or other phone case, really easy to fit, clean and stick

IMO don't pay much attention to this review - these are not "downsides" in reality. If Quadlock doesn't make a case for your phone (they do for all the popular ones) then don't buy it! How is it a downside? Auto-rotation? As someone points out in this chat, that is down to your phone and easily resolved. Price? You get what you pay for. Loads of cheaper universal mounts out there but if you value the camera on your phone then you need an anti-vibration mount. Quadlock is an excellent product IMO.

SP Connect definitely makes a better universal mount than Quad Lock, and they also make a chrome version, that looks stunning on a chopper. Why doesn't Quad Lock make a better universal mount, and a chrome mount? The best phone system for me, would be a blend of SP Connect and Quad Lock. None of them gets a 100% approval from my point of view.

I use an otter box phone case with the universal adapter. Works a treat and my phone is extra protected

I have been using quad lock with a note 8 ( yes there is no case for it but the note 9 case fits perfectly) I had no problems what so ever plus customer support is really good and they are always willing to solve the problem for you.

If they don't have a case that fits your phone there is a universal adapter that can be put on to any phone or case, I use it on my phone and it works great

Actually it can't be used on any case, the material used for the case might not stick properly to certainly materials used to make phone cases, PC ( polycarbonate) hybrid cases are best 😊

Your screen rotation is a simple fix. Dim the screen and turn it on again, that should fix the rotation. If not then it's a problem with the phone, not the quad lock.

Maps Upside-Down problem: Lock screen rotation. Phone case problem: There is a plug that you stick to the back of any smartphone. The issue being, that some people report that the stickiness really sucks and it's not for all surfaces. Other than that, this was a great review man, thank you very much!

i have Honor phones, no case, so I bought another case and sticked the universal adaptor on the case and workes perfectly. For your GPS upside down I was thinking this was a April fools video or a scamm video against Quadlock, Block the rotation or tell the GPS app in which position you want the screen when using the App. And if you travel there is the ball joint mount, so you just have to buy a support with hand screws that support ball joints. I just saw a 8min video and already found a solution, if you travel for work and do a lot of motorvlogging it looks like you have some issues in troubleshooting or this video is just against quadlock ;-)

Your point 1 - but it does come with a universal phone mount that sticks with industrial strength tape. Your point 2 - that is not quadlock's fail, that's user application.

Great review... You just got a new subscriber :) How long you have your Quadlock mount? I saw some reviews where after using Quadlock for a few months, the ''teeth on the phone case get worn up from vibrations and phone become a little bit lose (even someones said that their phones complete detached from the mount). Also what I found, on newer phones like iPhone 11 or 12, phones which use optical imagine stabilization mechanism, which is a fragile thing, that it can damage your camera during vibrations (it complete mess up your autofocus on camera, and makes the camera of your phone completely unuseful). After a lot of consumers had this issue Quadlock put a vibration dumper on the market. Did you experience any of those issues? Even after spending more than €120 on case and mounts, I still wouldn't feel like to put comfortable putting my iPhone on a bike. P.S. Brate svaka cast na reviewu...

Rammount quick grip is even better.

I use it in the car and with daily use the lock will wear down over time. It doesn't snap in anymore after turning the case into position where it sould snap. Do I have to replace the case or the base? .. . Try and error with a new case or base would work... The case itself is a great protector. I have to look for an alternative.

You may not heard of rokform. It cost more. Nd have less options for cases. So quad lock looks good

So why did you not mount in on your handlebar? That would resolve most of your issues. It's simple to move to another bike from a handlebar.

Really good overview. You certainly nailed it! I just got a new IPhone so thought I would change from my Ram X Mount to the Quadlock. As you suggest I was suckered in by the hype. I was also lured by the ani-vibration mount which I need for the new phone. It sure gets expensive fast. Luckily I took advantage of a big Black Friday sale. (It may be an American thing, not sure. But it’s a big sale after Thanksgiving Day. Which I think is another American thing. We eat too much and spend too much money, right!) Anyway, I do like the one-handed operation versus the two-handed Ram X. But, as you mention, the required phone case if fat and weighs a ton. Nothing is ever perfect. We will see how this works over time. Question, how did you find the place on the Honda to run power from? I was going to run a cable from the battery but a switched Honda circuit would be better. Thanks.

Hope it makes sense. Max output from there is 6 amps so no issues with that, watch for this output if you'll want to use 3 to 1 splitter, for example.

I could not find those screws anywhere and all this package without screws is useless. This would be a great product if it worked and had customer service behind it.

SP CONNECT RULES!!

Quad Lock is alright, but all these phone mount companies are asleep at the wheel, same for the Bluetooth headset/communicator companies. They must try to keep selling without enhancing or improving. I didn’t want to buy a Quad Lock, because I wanted a system I could mount which would have a magnet lock in like my SW-Motech tank bag but for the phone, wireless charging, 360 dual ball flexibility, and could mount to my 12mm navigation bar. None of them have an option. You either need to come c,OSW with Quad Lock or Peak Designs. I prefer Peak Designs, but the lack of wireless charging in this day and age is amateur hour and forced me to discount them and go with the less well-designed Quad Lock.

If you are going to sell a motorcycle phone attachment then you sell all the parts needed for a motorbike as one package. It’s like ordering a meal but they only bring the meat on the plate, and you have to buy all the other food that makes it’s at meal separately.

save yourself time: Not a good review! mostly personal issues not related to the mount itself. this mount just didn't fit the user but has no fundamental problems besides being expensive! recap: mount expensive (valid point) maps upside down for his setup (obvious phone issue,) Imo this could also be viewed as a motorcycle flaw using his logic? windscreen to far backwards if you forget the case you can't use the mount (user error) not a case for every phone on the market (quadlock offers a solution through a universal patch)
