Phone mount advice please

[jasext]

What is the best phone mount for a motorcycle?
Will be used offroad so needs to be very stable with no vibrations
Hold up to a 7" phone
Wireless charging an advantage but not essential
Not cost a fortune

What are you guys using?

I personally use a Ram X-Grip with the rubber band thingy, highly recommended. Others use and recommend the Quadlock

No experience of it, but was looking at it a while ago.

holder 2

had a quadlock, felt soft and faffy. not as easy at it looked. Using ultimate add ons equipment now, albeit not off road, no issues. More solid, had the case and clip, now using the clip only

This series of RAM holders are much more robust and reliable than the X-Grip and less than half the price

Tripe.
Had three of those - ALL returned under warranty after the top clip snapped off!
Also can’t be used with a case either unless it’s a bloody condom.
X-Grip if ram or Quadlock with damper and wireless charge

I use SP Connect with vibration damper and wireless charging.

My phone is an iPhone 12 Pro Max and all works well together.

Do you have a link for this setup ?
I have a rugged phone so no need for a case. Thanks

This is the SP Connect website. There are many different mounting systems to suite most.

It won't suite you if you don't want to use a case from SP Connect though.

There is no single best holder

Why on earth did you buy a third one then? I will however accept that trying to force a Plus model phone into the wrong holder is never going to work …

Quadlock with vibration dampener.

Used on road, off road. Best thing I've used yet. The case is slim enough to use when not on the bike as a general case.

X Grip kept either putting the phone to sleep or turning the volume up. Really annoying.

Who said I bought a third one?
Ram exchanged it under warranty each time and I didn’t try to force a Plus phone into the wrong mount.
Did you actually read what I wrote or what you thought I did?

You don’t seem to suffer from a sense of humour …

You don’t seem to suffer fools …

FTFY.

Sheltis smartphone case on ram mounts. Worked a treat.

Quadlock

Quadlock

and in case not sure Quadlock.

It works perfectly. With wireless charging mount and case etc it will cost around £110. The cost of a tank of fuel in average car so by comparison with today prices/inflation a good price for quality kit.
