What are your Phone Holder Preferences? Brand/style & placement?

[seagravesg]

2020 F3-T Want to mount phone holder not blocking instrumentation, audio, wind shield. Any brand/style preferences?
Where (on handlebar I'm guessing) do you suggest placement?

I've been using a quad lock on the left handlebar just inside the button cluster. Can easily use phone in portrait or landscape mode and it's locked in securely.
USB cord to power my phone run from the "glovebox."
Overall this arrangement works well for me.

Consider the one from Tackform made for the Spyder. Great mount and great customer service. You'll like it.

 

[RickWB]

I too, use Tackform. Use one also on my bicycle. As Wolfeman stated. ‘ great mount and great customer service’. I agree.

I had been using an Arkon RoadVise phone holder, but have switched to a QuadLock case and mount for my phone.
Like @Mandorallen my QuadLock is mounted next to the left hand grip.

I have been using the Quad Lock for a while now and just finished an 8 day 3400 mile ride with friends and the phone never moved. Excellent phone holder.

Do you have the Vibration Dampener for your Quad Lock?
My first ride using the Quad Lock, with the Quad Lock Vibration Dampener, had my phone vibrating a lot.

I use the Ram phone holder and the Ram mounting hardware. I use Ram RAM-B-149Z-A-PD4U to hold the phone and if I were building it today I would use an ATV/UTV strap base mount. Back in the day I used a

I have used the Lamonster Phone Phang, Tackform, RAM Quick Grip XL, and currently the Quad Lock with anti vibration dampener. I found the Tackform very convenient with excellent grip, much better than the Phone Phang. The RAM Quick Grip XL felt the most secure. After switching to an iPhone, I wanted something that offered vibration dampening, hence the Quad Lock. The Quad Lock is also very secure, and now I wouldn't use a mount without vibration dampening. Getting the Quad Lock pieces (phone specific case/vibration dampener/mount) is more expensive, but worth it. Some good deals can be found on ebay.

My phone resides in the trunk in a pocket organizer. It is Bluetooth paired to my Zumo 590 and I use the Zumo's phone app only when I have a need, extremely seldom, or opportunity to pull off the road. With all the buttholes on the road my safety is paramount and I decline to be distracted while rolling along.

Yes I had the Vibration Dampener installed.

 

[Cobranut]

I use a RAM mount on my right handlebar. It came with the bike, and it's very secure and easy to insert/remove the phone.

 

[racoon]

Yes I had the Vibration Dampener installed.

So I still wasn't happy with the amount of vibration I was seeing for my iPhone with the QuadLock Vibration Dampener, so I removed it.

I still see my phone wiggle around on occasion on the Quad Lock mount with vibration dampener. I think the thought/idea is for the (3) silicone bags to absorb any vibrations before they get to the phone, where a solid mount might just take the jolts? Who knows...

It might have been where I mounted mine, which was right up against the left handgrip.
And my iPhone was really bouncing around while I was riding when the Vibration Dampener was still installed.

That is where I have my Quad Lock installed but not against the left handgrip. I have mine maybe an inch or so from the handgrip. Maybe your Kenda tires are to blame for the vibrations.

 

[racoon]

They are the original tires...
