I have used the Ultimate Addons since 2014 and they have never let me down, except for when I tried a knock off case on there mount. The cases are also 100% waterproof, that is why they so big. They also have charging and headphone ports built in. I have ridden in torrential downpour from Bristol to Middlesbrough without any leakage. As for your mounting problems simply get a ball joint extender or maybe a top clamp bolt replacement mount. Personally I have used the ratchet mount and it worked fine on my phat Harley T Bars, maybe try a wrap of pvc tape around your bars, old school but effective. As for the power cable, well if you run it sensibly and cable tied it to bars with sufficient slack ( there lead is long enough after all ) to turn bars you would have no problem. The Quadlock mount is nice but as an all around system the Ultimate Addons is far superior. Oh finally, yes the screen is thin and scratch able, simple solution leave case on bike and take phone out, its worked fine for me for years.

Yeah they are a good system for sure. I still like them but if space is an issue on the bars, I found it a little bit too big and would sometimes affect the ability to read the dash for things like oil pressure light. If mounted sideways its a bit awkward getting the keys in but either system is great, depending on the bike. Thanks for your comments, its definitely a good point and always good to have input.

Very interesting jsut found you whilst looking for a comparison between the ultimate addons and the Quad systems as I am looking to get one of then in the new year as you say the addons strap does look to be a weak system ,but you do save a lot by going down that route so got some thinking to do thanks for showing this I will now subscribe cheers .👍

Great video buddy 👍 👏 I ordered my quadlock system 3 days ago and got everything for £65 due to the 30% off black Friday deals 😀

Glad you got it ordered and hope you are enjoying it. I wish I had done that lol 😆

Good comparison. I’ve had quad lock for a while. Definitely need the vibration dampener with iPhone. I didn’t have any issue installing it. I would say the UA is waterproof. I have the cover for the quad lock but extra cost.

Yeah they are good. It's a shame that the cases and mounts are so expensive all in but they work well

Been using my UA for years, never once has the cable come out, there's also various other mounts available to put it somewhere else away from your clocks, , biggest issue I find is the green teeth that grab the back of the case wear and and can become so loose your phone falls off, part is available to replace tho.

Very nice motorcycle👍

I haven't had all experiences with ultimate addons cases. I personally found them quite good, but some phones are more susceptible to vibration damage. The ultimate addons case has lots of rubber in it to reduce shocks but I think with any phone mount, a risk is being taken

My issue with my quadlock is that I have a Chinese phone so a quad lock case isn't available, so the universal 3m mount goes on the back of my generic phone case.. I don't trust the phone case to hold onto the phone in rough conditions. And the big one is using the phone in the rain is not good with quadlock.

Many newer phones are waterproof as not as much of an issue as it once was.

With quadlock you can get a waterproof covering a bit like a screen cover for the phone. I hope that a solution may present itself. If not ultimate addons do a great universal kit as an alternative

Good video but would have been a lot better if you had used the quadlock for a little while before recording.
