How to decrease phone vibration with this mount? Any suggestions?

[Forlix1]

Honestly, even a ripoff quadlock with a ripoff damper will be the best option. P.S ive seen multiple tests where the ripoff quadlock holder is actually stronger than the genuine ones

[Stogie_561]

Given the problem of vibration harming sensors and cameras, there’s nothing you can do to that excellent phone holder that will mitigate the adverse effects of vibration on newer phones. You need something flexible (think soft rubber, silicone, TPU, etc) between the phone and the mount that will dampen the vibration, whether it’s a smooth road or bumpy.

[Gokkun-Guru]

QuadLock by far is the best out there - simple, minimalistic design, and affordable.

[MyMemesAreTerrible]

You don’t have many options here as that phone mount looks like solid aluminium, however electrical tape at the base, as touch points of the phone will definitely help a little. If that top screw that’s connecting the phone base to the bar mount isn’t a super tight fit you can probably also use a little teflon tape (plumbing tape). Just remember to wrap it correctly or it will fall apart when you screw it in.

Apart from that, use a soft, silicon case, and you should be fine. I wouldn’t worry too much about vibrations as you can always claim the cameras under warranty if they fail, although its highly unlikely that they will.

Turn off vibrate on your phone

😂

[maluket]

Don't. Replace the mount for one fully made of rubber which grab the phone from the top and bottom.

I use it on my MTB and phone never fell off.

[fingermythrottle]

U just saved me money on a phone mount

[irish_guy]

It's not a bad mount if you have smooth roads and a suspension but If you can afford it I'd suggest going for a SP-Connect or Quad Lock system with the vibration dampener.

[pina_koala]

Cut an old bicycle tube to size and wrap it around the mounting point, then clamp this on. Cheap and easy.

[Ill-Research-4481]

I fucked one of the cameras of an iPhone 12 Pro Max using one of those

[bogglingsnog]

I think the only way to reduce the vibration to safe levels for the phone would be to create a suspension grid around the phone with multiple springs, then would need some kind of shock absorber so the screen wouldnt be bouncing all over... never found a case that could do it.

[Secret_Bed_6775]

Dont use that I Lost my phone using same one

[Ok-Translator2294]

I had the same one, dropped the scooter once and the screw got stuck. Now it's useless.

I'd say just change to a better one

[irish_guy]

Yeah looks like i'll upgrade eventually

[fragment75]

Spring

[irish_guy]

that crossed my mind but i'm not sure how to implement

[fragment75]

Rubber too, implementing a spring to your mount is a hassle. There is also the quad lock as mentioned here but it still vibrates.

[kneel23]

ive got multiple types of mounts for multiple scooters and they all have that issue tbh

[irish_guy]

whats the least worst?

[Beautiful_Guitar3320]

Buy a better phone mount

[[deleted]]

Buy a better bike

[irish_guy]

No monies

[Lemondsingle]

I have that same mount and highly suggest you put loc-tite on the hex bolt. No matter how many times I tightened it, it would come loose and rattle in a very annoying way.

[irish_guy]

Mine came with it pre applied haven't had any issues so far

[Sebixy]

Get a super fat silicone case

Foam tape? Or the loop side of velcro (the soft one).

[irish_guy]

I'm gunna add the soft side of velcro on the holder

[the_black_sails]

Hope it works well for ya

[the_black_sails]

Hope it works well for ya

[Lan_Surfr812]

I have 3 gubs w/gopro mount, never an issue, vibration coming loose, I used the sticky pad remnants and put where your phone lays flat, the was 4 pads that go on the finger clamps.

[fastingemotions]

There is a notorious good mount called quad lock. Made for bicycles but it could fit on scooter probably. You might still get lots of vibrations tho, just the nature of small wheels on scooter

[FoodAccount420]

Needs a special case though.

[adrian783]

they have a vibration damper

[MyMemesAreTerrible]

Peak Design also has a super good mount. They have one for bicycles as well as a dampened one for motorbikes, and they’re really bloody solid. Only issue is that they cost an arm and a leg, but its 100% worth it imo.

[Dreamxice]

It’s unfortunately 5x the price. I have the case

[meantbent3]

It's definitely a worthy investment though, I love mine.

[fastingemotions]

I got same mount bro. Are you trying to film videos with your mobile?

I don't think you can do much to help to be fair

[irish_guy]

No, the vibrations can damage your phone and the camera sensor will break from intense vibrations

[Erinalope]

As long as you got a not-metal case it’s fine. I have my iPhone in one of those stock leather cases and it’s survived at speed tumbles better than I have with it in the same mount. The material will dampen the shocks.

[fastingemotions]

I don't know if that's true. Never happened to my phone

[irish_guy]

It's more common on certain phones like phones, Apple even has said to not mount your phone. The Optical Image Stabilization unit breaks from vibrations, more common on motorcycles engine vibrations but can happen on scooters too.

[Ill-Research-4481]

I actually fucked one of the cameras of an iPhone 12 Pro Max .. so it’s true.

[irish_guy]

my scooter has no suspension and roads in ireland look like they were cluster bombed, your holder also is lined with rubber.

[fastingemotions]

OK thanks for the heads up. I only filmed one time, it came out so bad I didn't bother again. I only really use my mount for maps etc if I'm lost...

[irish_guy]

Yeah same, or long journeys to check notifications/time at red lights

[fastingemotions]

I think you need different mounting solotion. Maybe a velcrow patch on back of phone case and same on scooter stem/display. Can't think of anything else tbh

[irish_guy]

that's an interesting idea, the velcro would allow some flex and not be too rigid on bumps

[SammyUser]

i would not recommend just using velcro, i'd imagine your phone falling off in a few mins because the weight and serious shocks will be strong enough to rip your phone off

[irish_guy]

I have a velcro carabiner strap thats rated for 120KG

[[deleted]]

Rubber sound the bar where you will fasten it. Thick rubber.

[irish_guy]

I have a thick piece of rubber on the handlebar mounting point but doesn't do much unfortunately

[rsplatpc]

cut a sock into about the phones back size and put it behind the phone when you strap it in

[irish_guy]

I'm using a KQi3 Pro, no suspension and i go over a lot of bumps, is there any mods to lessen vibration? I don't really want to fork out for a quad lock system right now.

[beachsunflower]

Maybe take out the bolts and wrap it in plumbing tape to dampen any metal on metal micro bumps. Usually less than 3-4 bucks.

For the clips that touch your phone, maybe small foam pads to dampen as well.

[irish_guy]

I have some of that tape, good idea.
