In response SP Connect have released anti vibration mount (quite expensive) and Quad Lock are just about to release one (price not known yet). I see that this is an issue may phones with anti vibration mechanisms in the cameras. The biggest issue for me was that the camera on my iPhone 11 went into a vibration and crackling frenzy after 200 miles and is unserviceable as a consequence. Having just completed my first long tour with it I thing this is a matter of technique rather than design flaw. I liked the versatility of the Quad Lock and acknowledge the comments made about mounting.

Easy connectīoth mounts can swivel from horizontal to vertical, but the SP Connect requires you to use a tool to turn the locking mechanism in the back of the phone case first.

However, we have never had any problems with the Quad Lock coming loose and falling off, even over off-road courses. It feels a little heavier and therefore should be more secure. ![]() While the Quad Lock is largely hard plastic, the SP Gadgets mount is CNC-machined, aircraft-grade alloy.
