Thanks for your time in making this video... my local dealership recommended SP... talking about it being a superior quality
Brilliant review! I love your hands on, walk-through. That's an amazing comparison. I had a very similar experience for my mountain bike. I had quadlock. But after installing SP Connect, SP just seemed a far more solid product and superior functionalities.
Cheers! I agree, the SP is just a much more predictable connection.
SP is by far the best mount you can get for your phone, bike, and car, or any use there is
Good to see you still have the 790
Yes, I've managed to hang on to that, so very happy there!
I know this vid is a year old, but I just bought a quad lock system. I bought the pro version in aluminum with a dampener and rain cover for the phone. So you can get aluminum in Quad lock to.. I didn’t see the ring wenn I ordered other wise I would have bought that to😅
Good video 👌🏻
Hi mate really cool bumping into you today 👍 I managed to enjoy the full rev range of the bike on the way home and ride on familiar roads for a direct comparison.. genuinely there is a big step in performance.. the bike was power wheelieing in 3rd and sometimes 4th.. the power felt really strong I was having to short shift on some roads.. I wish was just entering back into summer now lol
Ha, brilliant! I'm definitely going to have to have a ride on one after what you said yesterday, I just worry it's going to cost me! Good meeting you! What are the chances of that? I wasn't even planning on going there yesterday. Anyway, enjoy the 890👍
Great review, I was eyeing up SP connect for a while to try out! I was between them and Quadlock to try next(if I ever do) think I've my mind made up now :)
Cheers! Given the choice I'd go SP Connect, definitely.👍
@@TheBoltHoleBiker Yeah the nice metal bits would get me as well btw I'm a sucker for that stuff 😂
@@TheGorillaBiker ha, ha, me too, we’re so shallow! Look, it’s shiny!🤣🤣🤣
@@TheBoltHoleBiker Magpies when it comes to bike parts 😂
Can't go wrong with SP 🤔
Exactly.
That ring is quite help- and useful. Too bad, SP seems to not have it so far.
But great video, all well explained 🤓👍
Buy the way, where are you driving? Looks somehow familiar to me. Cornwall? (I'm from Germany)
Great Video, thanks Mate!!! / Ride like the wind.
Oh wow it’s literally a quad lock with a different interface. That’s odd. They’ve got them beat with the aluminum arm though. Does it have the same little sleeves for different sized pipes…yes it does I just saw it…pros and cons to each I guess
Yes. The only cons that I can see though are the fact that you cant lock the SP Connect one (but there's no way it's coming off!) and the fact that the ring on the back is going to stand proud of the case. Other than that it is spot on.
Wrong, SP has been out since 2002. The quadlock has been out since 2011, so quadlock tried copying the design with a different locking system, been with SP for years 😜
@@ticoruizsuarez I didn’t say either one came first. I just own the quad lock so I recognized the similarities to it and not vice versa. It’s a shame though. SP needs to up their marketing game though and online presence. I even reached out to them and offered to help when I found them because I’d never heard of them
@Fee I guess because I have been with them for years, they come up way too much on my feeds and commercials, which I found its enough advertising for their brand, but I do will say they are (imo) better than QL
It really does sound like you say butt hole biker, blame me because I’m American
Lovely review! Been over a year, now - any follow up thoughts on the vibration damper and any impact on the iPhone of the SP Connect?
Cheers! I've had no issues with my phone, so the dampener seems to work well!
it is not horizontal, ongly by me?
I might like this better for everything but the way it connects to the phone
Believe it or not the connection to the handlebar is far easier than the Quad Lock.
It's something that once you try, you won't go back to use anything else
@@ticoruizsuarezmy quad lock is a pain
@Fee I bet it is, I've heard of people having a hard time to lock their phone like lining up their quad holes
I’ve migrated from Quad to SP connect. Easier to use and better quality imo
Agreed. I haven't used my Quadlock for the last year, the SP is rock solid.
Great choice
Hey mate, just wondering if u r still using that mount?
Yes, still using it.
What camera did you use to film on your bike
Hi, it was a GoPro Hero8.
@@TheBoltHoleBiker cheers
If they want to give me one or exchange my quad lock for one of these I’ll try it too 😂
Does your quad lock have the anti vibration thing ?
No, I never bothered with the anti vibration module because I have never had an issue with my phone camera, even after riding with it on the 'bars for over 20K miles.
@@TheBoltHoleBiker yea I only asked because that in my experience is what makes the difference in what you describe as the sp not jittering quite as much and still being visible. Same thing was achieved on my quad lock with the anti vibe mount, I got it for That not the camera safety angle
@@Fee.1 Oh right, maybe I should have got one then!🤣. I've got nothing against the Quad Lock mount by the way, I think they are great - I've loved mine.
@@TheBoltHoleBiker well I’ll be honest I kind of do I’m kind of pissed at how dinky it is to connect it I thought it would line up easier
@@Fee.1 That is the one thing they haven't got right, there is a little bit of as fiddle to locate them in the mount. The SP is straight in every time, so better in that respect.
I never even heard of it
No, I hadn't either! They just contacted me out of the blue.
Do either allow you to mount the phone in landscape orientation?
Yes, you can do that with either.
Looks like the stand behind quad lock and marketing more than anything. I suspect this is a manufacturer for hire in China situation.
I think they are a German or Austrian company.
I thought he said butt hole biker
Overpriced Chinese plastics
What’s the go for mount?
