What handle bar phone mount do you use?

[Robert]

I am considering some longer rides and want to be able to put my I phone 6 on the handle bars. Two reasons video recording, directions and phone calls. What mounts to you guys use and are you happy with them?

[Jopson]

This is what I'm using, mounted it right on the handlebar riser clamp using a home made bracket, so far so good.
I like it because rather than the spring loaded clamps, you can screw the thumbscrews in and your phone isn't coming out again til you unscrew them.

I have a galaxy note 4 with the defender series otterbox. a few zip ties through the belt clip around the center of my bars on my interstate and its solid as anything. it is also the only thing I could find that was large enough to hold my phone. no way of shooting video with it but for gps I love the location

I've used RAM mounts on my bikes for a long time. The same mounting system can be used for my GPS or Phone with just a changeout of the holder. On my current bike I have a setup that allows for both devices to be used at once as I have a double ball setup.

I have the Note 4 and the defender otterbox too.  I have the normal size spring loaded X-grip holder.

What I had to do to make the phone fit was, the two arms you squeeze to open the holder, I re-bent them. I bent those 2 arms strait than  bent them up again to  make the grippers, slightly wider.

Now the X-grip works just fine.

Good to know something else can be made to work for this but I don't think anything will be as secure as the otterbox holster. low budget too works for me. my brother spent around $75 on his phone mount + charger and audio cables. for that price I'd rather get lost and put the money in my gas tank

I use the Ultimate Addons system.
It's completely watertight, it rotates, and it recharges my phone with a cable system that connects to the battery..
Plus, it has various cable tips that can be switched out depending on what device I take with me.
you can even swap out the case whenever you update your phone.

Hey Robert, my method is really hi-tech.......either my shirt pocket or the saddlebag. 

Just yanking that leg a bit, but I simply don't concern myself with the phone while riding. I have a GPS mount for a GPS I've used once in seven years. Usually the phone is in the saddlebag because I like to carry my small digital camera in my shirt or jacket pocket. Plus, my tank bib has a pocket in it for quick access.....usually for my sunglasses or toll pass.

Robert I think I showed you this at the Pizza gathering at Jerry's place.

I used Ram mounted to crossbar on Honda windshield

I also use the X Grip on the bars, used it with my phone to navigate a 5,000 mile trip last September.  The phone will work itself loose on rough roads but a stop at Dollar General to pick up some hair bands was a quick solution.

[Pappy!]

I also use the RAM X-grip.
Have not had a problem with retention on my iPhone6 but Lesa has had an issue with her larger mount and her iPhone6+ coming loose. She has literally caught it twice now. We just put a ring on the back of her phone case that I can use to secure it better.
Like the idea of those hair bands as well !

I have the Akron. It mounts find to the handlebars, it's water resistant but not fully water proof (does the job if the rain though). Mine has served me well for 2 years now.
