Handlebar mount cellphone holder recommendation.

[simongt]

The GLW is looking for the above to mount her HTC U12 Plus so she can use the Satnav app. The mounting space on the handlebars for the bracket is 30mm. wide, so not a lot of 'fiddle room' as such. As long as the mount is well built, weatherproof and reliable, price isn't too much of an issue, but obviously we're not going up the 'yer 'avin' a larf' route - !
She'll probably want to switch the unit between bikes occasionally, so easy on / off would be good too. I suggested asking the question here because I am of the opinion that user experience is much more accurate that say, Amazon reviews.

We have several in use. They are surprisingly good. The elastic is stronger and more durable than I expected. Move from bike to bike in seconds.

The best and most secure on the market is quadlock

Third recommendation for quadlock. They’re not cheap and you need a dedicated case (or an adaptor), but they’re solid and well made with a choice of attachment styles.

Top notch quality customer service too.
The phone case on my iPhone XS has warped on one side and was no longer straight by a few mm.

Dropped then an email with long term feedback on the case as it’s now 18 months old so out of warrant expecting to pay for a replacement, perhaps at a discounted price and they replaced it no quibbles for free!

GUB - I use a couple of these. The G85 is alloy and can also be mounted on the stem cap (without the band). The phone can be horizontal or vertical. Very secure. Best price on Aliexpress.

But not for couple of quid!

The OP does say price isn't an issue for good kit

If you want to pay top whack for exactly the same - GUB G-85

I was responding to a post about the cost of the quad lock tho? That’s something different (and really big, no?!)

I see .
Not really big, quite neat and doesn't need any thing fixed to the phone. Re Quadlock - I don't trust anything held to the bars with neoprene bands.

They do an Outfront mount which doesn’t use the bands.

Need to be careful with these though as it trashed the one of the cameras on my iPhone. Could still take pictures but when video calling was constantly swaying around. Don’t quote me on this but I think most of the newer ones have electronic image stabilisation which is always on and with the constant vibrations from the handlebars can cause it to burn out.
