Great product, vibration damper works well. The wireless head has an on/off button underneath to save your battery.

It's all commercial?

Motobob is a total different channel these days . Best of lists and ads 👎🏻
Oh, come on. He's partnering up with the best motorcycle-related brands out there. At least he's not putting non-motorcycle-related brands in front of us...
Great video. Everything simply explained, unlike the quad lock web site which I just found completely confusing.
Got mine a few months ago. I’ve dropped my phone about 30 times. I’ve replace 3 screen protectors. The case is very smooth and has no grip lines or pocks. Crazy slick. It functions well when connected. If I didn’t pay for screen protection I would be out $135 in screen protecters.
I cut notches in it with a knife.
Thanks for the video never knew that I handlebar out for a phone would be such a rabbit hole to find at least a good one
Excellent video Very helpful. PS I love my new 2023 Tiger 900 Rally Pro !!
Does wireless charging still work with how thick this case is?
Fork stem is the best mount position easily but there's a number of bikes it's not compatible with. Evotech Performance makes a really nice Quad Lock compatible mount that goes onto the handlebar clamp so your phone ends up in virtually the same spot.
Best guide I’ve seen online I needed it 🤣🤣🤣✌✌✌✌✌
How good is the universal adaptor?
Does the wireless charger need to be connected? if I don’t have a usb on my bike would I have to add that to be able to use the wireless charger on my bike
I'm a BIG Ultimate Addons fan, but when I upgraded my Samsung GS9, to the GS22U, they didn't have a nice case for it.
Went with QuadLock, outstanding! The intelligent charging cable is superb. QL is expensive, but is a top quality product.
My issue now is that the phone is so sensitive, at specific lean angles and engine frequencies (I have the dampener fitted), it comes out of my satnav app, and if you don't catch it early enough, the screen goes to lockout/standby.
☝️☝️ Let's talk 💬 💬☝️☝️.
That’s why iPhones have a lock option, it won’t ever turn on its side with that lock on. I’ve forgot it was on a couple times and it absolutely will not turn on its side
@shaneziegler2555 my guy....that's a standard thing on absolutely any phone made in like the last 10 years.
@@DMMe-Corridor-Crew-Pageliterally every phone has that. Apple fanboys are actually so miserable.
Really helpful video! Thanks
Good comprehesive review
How does the wireless charger connect to the bike. I now own the Triumph Tiger 900 GT pro. There is an electric port in front but it is European
Does mag case mount with a twist on motorcycle
Is a Mag system safe to hold my phone on a motorcycle riding off road? Does it also click or is it just the magnet holding the phone?
Hi, I’m finding the quadlock wireless charger messes with the GPS on my iPhone 11. Do you have an issue ?
Hello. I just want to ask one thing. I’m thinking about quad lock mount, but I’d like to use it both on my mountain bike and my motorbike also.
So there’s the question.
Does the vibration dampener fit to a bike mount? Or is it only dedicated to motorbike mounts?
I’d like to buy just one mount and use it on both.
Thanks.
Bar sizes are similar so should mount on both. You'll just need two bar clips and whatever you want between them and the phone
Does the magsafe charger only work for iPhones?
Clearly and well explained
☝️☝️ Let's talk 💬 💬☝️☝️.
Does this wireless charger over heat ?
The poncho needs to be improved. After completing an 8 hr day ride in the rain this past week. I needed to dry case area out after getting water inside. My suggestion to quad lock is build a case with sealed features as the PUNCKCASE has with the the mag mount charger and lock.
Are stem mount will fit on motorcycle with steering damper ?
☝️☝️ Let's talk 💬 💬☝️☝️.
You correctly mention that the universal adapter is needed for people like me with a phone without a specific case. However, what you don't mention is that on the quadlock site there is a product suitability guide which has a list of materials the case cannot be made of if you want good adhesion. All the best trying to get one made of something not on the list!
☝️☝️ Let's talk 💬 💬☝️☝️.
The request to contact Motobob is a scam.
I also recently searched after a case and QuadLock and found "OtterBox" the outside of the case is made of some sort of plastic, where the adapter would perfectly suit
I agree totally with your comment I have a Oppo 17 phone and trying to find a case that fits is a nightmare I don't think are be able to use this as the list of stuff the adhesive sticks to is mainly not on a phone case
Where does the 12v to USB adaptor sit? In the cockpit with a small connecting cable to your mount/phone?
☝️☝️ Let's talk 💬 💬☝️☝️.
Doesn't it hurt OIS camera phone from motorcycle vibrations ?
actually the clamp does not come with an extension arm so you can play with the phones position as at 3:33.
Dry helpful… finally a decent video that explains what is what…
Why exactly should I go for the Magnet version (~30€ more expensive) instead of the normal one? In which world is the deletion of a 90° turn worth 30€? Besides that, the magnet is not close to being as secure as the 90° turn move...
Or am I misunderstanding something?
Hi, I ordered the handlebar pro from watching one of your previous video’s, now I’m after a Cardo Bluetooth headset, can you recommend one please?
Cheers. 👍🏻
What price point are you looking at?
£200
Tbh the Packtalk Edge is the best comms unit I’ve ever tried and it’s £289 at sportsbikeshop right now which is a great deal. But the Packtalk Slim is also on sale at £199 and looks awesome - the mesh connectivity is the big one for me and both have it 👍
Thanks I’ll order one when I get paid 💴 👍🏻
Mirror mounts more shaky vs handlebar mount?
Tbh I just think the handlebars are more stable, it’s probably fine but a sorta heavy phone being pushed by the wind on ur mirror stem probably isn’t the best
Thanks Motobob you saved me 10% !

Hello brother
do they block the view to the dash?
It depends on the bike, I guess. But, putting the phone horizontally works better
I have ordered the QL. The problem you need to practice installing and removing it. I m still can't get it right 😂
All these wonderful, trendy, innovative gadgets sure are a great way to make your smart device a HUGE distraction while driving and/or riding making you an accident waiting to happen… well done quad lock! 👍
Hello
Adults are a thing of the past. Gone are the days where people can use a product responsibly and have common sense or good judgment. Maybe the government should hold our hand and show us the way. Let's start with taxing unhealthy food products to prevent fat people
So the new Peak Design mag mounts really do carry a significant risk for on-road riding (e.g. nasty potholes)?

Big negative
Mine still vibrates even though I got the vibration dapner
I wish the anti vibration portion was more sleek, or with built into the mount itself or in the case

Hello nice videos reviews 👍
It's not a review, it's a paid ad. Something to keep in mind.
Brilliant gadget, but I've struggled to find a spot on the bars of my tracer 700 as the bars are double flat from handlebar to handlebar...so I will try the thiner girth and see as I go, I also didn't want to block the view of my dash info....had to scratch my head, some bits are fiddly
..😜😁😂😂
i put my iphone 13 on a QD with dampner on my bars on the Tenere 700 WR on the leftish just before the bend upwards. no trouble blocking screen, but a tank bag wont do.
@@nemerkha thanks I will have a look at that 👌

How do you prevent your screen from sleeping while using GPS?

Hello brother
settings on your phone. think it should be somewhere under battery/energy settings. could also be in the bar if you swip down from the top. my phone got a battery save mode button there that does make it save battery by turning of the screen sooner when not in use and dimming the lights etc....
You know it's a good product when people are seeking out and watching 8 minute ads 😂
The universal fit might work for me but I can't seem to find a decent waterproof case for my Oneplus 5T ... sucks!
☝️☝️ Let's talk 💬 💬☝️☝️.
i just bought a separate case for my phone and glued the adhesive pad on to it. (bought the better 12$ chinese version of the quad lock that holds the phone better but has a shity adhesive pad so i just glued it. otherwise it's recomended to buy the 12$chinese arm and then buy the pad or case from quad lock
@@rampage3337 I ended up buying a roll up universal case. From Tigrasport u-dry motorcycle kit. It should be fine since the phone I'm using does not have a stabilizer.
Now I just need to make a hole in the bottom to hook up a charging cable.
Just a expensive phone holder 😂😂 😂 sheep are for shearing.
I’ve heard lots saying even with the anti vibration part it wrecks there camera on phone
It appears mostly iPhones.
Vibration dampener doesn’t work. I have it on my suzuki boulevard c50t.. ruined my iphone 12 pro camera.
Nice

That’s not what it’s for… who reads emails while riding their bike.. it’s for navigation and music
I was going to get this but £180 is too expensive. I will continue to use my cheap copy and a usb cable. No issues at all.
☝️☝️ Let's talk 💬 💬☝️☝️.
yeah there is litteraly a 12$ chinese version of the quad lock that during tests actually held up better than the quad lock. the chinese version held your phone better but had a worse adhesive pad. so you get the 12$ made in china one and then get the quad lock case/pad and you golden. (the china ones parts can be used on the quad lock and the quad lock parts on the china one. same design just different price)
Update it with all the new ones…
I have these on most of my motorcycles with the vibration dampener.
☝️☝️ Let's talk 💬 💬☝️☝️.
Maybe I missed it, but with the quadlock case, can i still make NFC payments or can i still wirelessly charge using someone else's (not quadlocks) wireless charger? Or am i forced into that ecosystem?
I think a phone is too distracting on the bars. I keep mine in my pocket and listen to voice navigation. Cardo headset does a good job answering phone and music.
☝️☝️ Let's talk 💬 💬☝️☝️.
Do u find it easy to hear with the cardo? I use headphones and bought this to actually glance at the map because its not easy to hear with the wind noise. Not sure if I should bite the bullet and buy a cardo if it helps me hear it better
so, the wireless charger requires a cable charger? 🤔
Do you understand how wireless charging works...?
In my opinion, Quadlock really messed up by not having the cable hard wire into the unit. The plug option is just another annoying place that can rattle loose. I would get one if this wasn't the case!
Don't waste your money on Quad lock try and look for Peak design Mobile - Motorcycle Mount. much stronger locking option.
Slow shipping from them.
All new motorcycles should have a display where you can use google maps + usb socket
Holy shit you sound just like David Moss
But nothing for a z-fold 3

They need a redesign. Lately mine is very challenging to make sure that my phone is securely attached. My phone came off of the mount while riding. Don’t trust it now.
Good product but the price is prohibitive .
So I have never had a Motorcycle phone mount and I am sold by your reviews and order a pro stem mount and a vibration dampener!( must have one of those) I own more than one motorcycle so order another Motorcycle mount the bar mount pro! then realize I need another dampener! so I order that as my phone is not covered as one of those with their own quad lock case! then I realize I need another universal adapter for the other Motorcycle handle bar mount! I then go looking for a case for my phone! Well every case is made of silicone? but the universal adapter does not stick to silicone? and I am told my phone is old? old? I bought it maybe two years ago Redmi 9 pro? replacing my red mi 6 pro? which I only replaced to have dual sim! Jeez! so I am watching this video and thought okay I need a wireless charger now? because if I need to use Google maps my phone will die? omg! If your phone supports wireless charging! ffs! mine does not! and already 300.00 euro in Quad lock stuff bought so far! Thank God you mentioned in your video that only if it supports wireless charging! I am about to test my phone for the first time on my Triumph street triple RS 765 2023 tomorrow glued to a silicone case they say will not stick too! try finding any other case for my old? redmi 9 phone? well maybe it will persuade me to get a new phone but I would not buy apple if they gave it for free! after owning apple i Pods in the past! A new Samsung then? and a case! There goes that new Exhaust I was saving up for!
They lag behind phones too much. Where the samsung a53 top selling phone
Quad lock anti vibration kit does not work !!!! I have a brand new iPhone and bought the anti vibration kit for my Quad lock to use on my motorcycle and the camera now does not work . What you going to do quad lock
Get rid of the iPhone. This issue is not apparent on my Samsung (Galaxy S22 Ultra) with QUADLOCK Dampener while riding 79,000 km so far.
@@charltheron2769 why should I get rid of the phone ! Quadlock don’t state it doesn’t work on an iPhone !
Apple's apparent inferior design compared to other phones in this regard... It appears a lot of iPhone's have this issue, no matter what dampener you might use. AFAIK, Apple even published a statement to this effect.
@@1969kingperryit’s kinda common sense to use it at ur own risk, at the end of the day riding for hours with vibrations coming from ur bike is slowly gonna cause damage, the dampener probably just slows it down… or prevents some damage. Damage will happen over time regardless
Any phone mount fucks up your sensors, dampeners dont do much, if you need it just get a tank bag with a clear top so you can put it in there.
My years of riding with a quad lock with vibration dampener, with the most advanced phones in the market, in all kinds of road/dirt conditions... disagrees with you.
My quad lock with dampener destroyed my iphone 12 pro, camera is practically dead and useless
☝️☝️ Let's talk 💬 💬☝️☝️.
@@User_cc it's an iphone it was useless the day you bought it lol
Quad lock have ruined 2 of my iPhones cameras even with the vibration dampener fitted.
Way over priced, and such a pain in the arse to actually connect phone to mount when a vibration dampener!
Just keep my phone in my pocket now
☝️☝️ Let's talk 💬 💬☝️☝️.
Don't need the vibration dampener. It's like attaching your phone onto the car phone holder. Same same but different. Tomato, tamato
The way u attach ur phone to it has nothing to do with the vibration dampener, it’s so the vibrations of ur bike done ruin ur phones insides
I really don't get the vibration dampener. Perhaps it works best on the super jerky Harleys, because on my wife's FTR, it will actually do the opposite. The S23 Ultra phone will vibrate like hell for every little thing on the road, while without it, the phone will stay perfectly stale. Also Quad Lock, make a damn case for Fold4 too, so I can use it on my bikes as well, WTF!!!
For a reliable use its 220 bucks….. 😂😂
So I need a phone case, good luck they have none for mine and sticking a mount to my current (probably unsecure) case is a bad idea. Then I need probably 1-2 adapters for the mount, plus a vibration dampener, plus a charger, plus a smart adapter. After I piled all this laughable crap on my bike, the phone is still not waterproof. So I just bought a 15 EUR, noname clamp mount and never had a single problem, LOL.
☝️☝️ Let's talk 💬 💬☝️☝️.
get the 12$chinese one that uses the same exact design as the quad lock (parts of china one and quad lock one fitt on each other) the only problem with the 12$ one is the adhesive pad is not as great. the 12$ one holds the phone better but the adhesive pad is shit. but what i did was just get a cheap case for my phone and just glue on the adhesive pad with glue.
Quad lock actually pretty >>>>>>>>> IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT!
😢 Great case and mount but it is flawed as it doesn’t charge with my Audi wireless charger or apple wireless charger or my wireless stand, in fact it doesn’t charge with most other wireless chargers only Quadlocks own devices!! Very disappointing from that perspective, I did try to get in touch and did have a online chat but was told exactly what I just discovered above, so they basically said good luck but only our chargers are recommended, pity they take such a poor customer service stance. But great case just don’t expect it to charge.😢
Way overpriced.And the way they gouge consumers for all the extras that should be included
Wow, so clearly my purchase of this item will not attach to the Mount without the phone case. What garbage this was. Too bad the sellers never told us that.
Is this the company that doesn't know the difference between damping and dampening?
☝️☝️ Let's talk 💬 💬☝️☝️.
it's the company that claims these things cost a fortune to manufacture even though there is a 12$chinese one that even holds the phone better than the quad lock (though the adhesive pad ain't as good on the china one but it's 100% same design and all so you can fit quad lock parts on it)
@@rampage3337 doesn't surprise me one bit.
No good they dont make enough cases and who going to trust a stick on mount and wreck there phone. Too much profit not enough investment .
I thought these products killed your iPhone due to vibrations.
Did you watch the video?

quad lock is overpriced AF. there is literally a chinese manufacturer doing the exact same design (parts are interchangeable between the china and quad lock version) and the chinese version actually holds your phone better than the quad lock version. but the quad lock version does have a better adhesive pad so you get the chinese one for 12$ and then just buy the case or adhesive pad from Quad lock. i would not mind quad lock being just a bit more expensive but it's just so fucking expensive for what it is. and they fucking claim they actually cost that much to make which i know is major BS as there are even more complicated shit for bikes that use the same materials or even more expenive materials but still cost less than a Quad lock
