A number of my riding friends have damaged their phone's optical image stabilization system with phone mounted to their motorcycle. One guy I know has been though (3) I-Phones with the last 1failing even using an isolation type phone mount. Link to comment
Mike Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I’m hoping that this malady doesn’t befall me. I use a Quad-Lock mount with a vibration damper. I’ve read, though I can’t vouch for this, that the problem generally arises when the camera is being used while it’s mounted to a bike. Link to comment
Hosstage Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 This article doesn't specify if the damage is caused only while using the camera, but it does say to use a different device for navigation, insinuating that damage is caused simply being on and attached to the bars. https://www.engadget.com/apple-motorcycle-vibrations-iphone-camera-warning-083801715.html Link to comment
JustKrusen Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I destroyed my first X-R in a month on my G310GS. But that bike vibrates a lot more than my RT and half the miles were on forest roads. My replacement XR has been on my RT for 2 years and about 12,000 miles and is still ok. I ended up using my Nav V on the GS and keep the phone in my jacket. Link to comment
Randyjaco Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Yeah, I killed two Pixel phones, mounting them to my bike. I now only carry my phones in my pocket. No problems since. Link to comment
