handlebar mount with shock absorber
 

Has anyone seen one of these?
I tried a couple phone mounts and on rough roads they get jarred loose. hoping something like this solves the problem.

No reviews, no listed company name, poorly described product, no good information about warranty or support? It looks a bit over-engineered and I'd be surprised if it worked really well, although it is possible that it solves the problem. I wouldn't take the gamble personally.

More helpfully: what do heavy commuters use? I would buy that or look at a way to use the system you have more securely using rubbery mounts that compress on the handlebars if it doesn't already use that method.

It's made by Juin Tech, so it will be a quality part. I can't speak to the Marketplace seller, or how functional it will actually be-- as in, will it do what you want for the money it costs. If you just want a phone mount that works, Quad Lock.

There are a couple of demo videos for the Juin Tech AB-1. Might be worthwhile for delicate equipment. I haven't heard of any problems from cell phones, action video cameras or lights mounted directly to handlebars or frames.

I'd consider something like that only if it acted like a Steadicam for action video cameras on chipseal and similarly rough roads. A simple spring won't do that. It would need to be an adjustable weighted device, and practical only for some situations. Even the cheap plastic clamp on mounts included with my Ion Speed Pro are good enough for smooth pavement and even some crushed limestone chat trails.


Vibration test demo:

Here's a demo video of the Juin mount with a GoPro. Looking at the background, it doesn't reduce vibration effectively enough to interest me. However it might minimize damage when mounting regular cameras that aren't designed for rough use, especially those digital cameras with telescoping lenses that are easily damaged or knocked out of alignment.

lacks the go pro fittings, but I guess you use that cross tube to mount that..

But a steadicam will give you pro pictures, its pro gear after all.. it uses Newtonian physics of inertia.

I have the Nite Ize handlebar band and it has never come loose, going off curbs, etc., on 20" wheels which really take the shock. Some seriously thick material with a shock absorbing base.

Delta Holder
 

I have a delta cell phone holder for my galaxy s7 edge. Works well bit I haven't had it long. Rubber insert around the inside of the bar mount and it's lockable. I keep my phone in my otterbox and can charge it while it's mounted if I needed to.

Yeah, the design of the Delta phone caddies should insulate phones from road vibration. The entire thing is nylon or some sort of tough plastic, with a frame to protect the edges. And the optional rubber shims provide even more insulation.

The popular Quad Locks appear to transmit more vibration and shock so that might be a concern, theoretically. But I haven't heard of any complaints about road vibration actually damaging phones, so it may be a non-issue.
