Just came across this and it was very helpful as I had just bought the dampener for the ball mount. Never crossed my mind to remove the pat with the spring on it. Once I did that it was easy, Thanks for posting this.
I want to do this conversion but can't seem yo find a version 2? When I use your link I get to amazon sight and I have a choice of V1orV3 any suggestions?
@reg26 I'm not home at the moment, when I do I'll look up the two versions. The only way to tell the difference between the mounts is by the looks. Sadly, they didn't label them v1 or v2.
@reg26 Ok, looks like they did away with v2 of the vibration dampener and only offer v1 and the newest v3. v3 is their new "universal" vibration dampener and it's supposed to be compatible with all their various mounts, so that's the one you want now. I may have to buy it myself and see what's different from the one I bought. Since this v3 is newer than what I had posted, the install my vary slightly, so be aware of that.
@reg26 I'm not sure which mount you're going to put the dampener on, but this is what Rokform says about the v3 compatibility: COMPATIBILITY: Version 3 works with all Rokform twist lock cases and motorcycle mounts (V2 for Ball Adapter Mount)
@@R-TechEnthusiast I'm going to give them a call Monday and see what they say. Thanks so much. I don't know why they just don't make one ready to go except the fact that you have to buy two to get it done lol.
Another video of the Rokform where no one shows the phone actually mounted on the anti-vib mount.... and I'm guessing you know why. The phone flops around like a wet noodle when it's on that mount. This mount is the biggest disappointment Rokform has ever put out. Their products have been top notch until this thing.
I could be wrong, but I can't help but to think you might be mis-understanding the use of a vibration dampener. The point of the vibration dampener is to stop the high frequency buzz, generated by the motorcycle, from reaching your phone. Those high frequency buzz/micro-vibrations are what cause havoc to the internals of your phone and potentially damaging it. The vibration dampener reduces/eliminates those high frequency buzz/micro-vibration from reaching your delicate phone. It does NOT eliminate regular, bouncy vibrations. A vibration dampener is not a gimbal or stabilizer. Once you understand the concept of what a vibration dampener is and/or is not, then you can you appreciate what it really does for your devices. I use the vibration dampener on my bike for my phone and it works great. I also have another vibration dampener for my insta360 mount on my motorcycle. I would never install a phone mount or cam mount on my motorcycle without a vibration dampener. Those devices cost way too much to risk damage to it from the high frequency buzz/micro-vibrations caused from riding a motorcycle. At the end of the day, it's up to each person to put a value on their devices and decide if it's worth using a vibration dampener to protect their devices or not.
