Quadlock has a vibration damping adapter for their mounts. I assume this was developed to overcome the Apple camera issue.
Good to know. Thanks for sharing 🙂👍🏼
There was another video where they tested the edficacy of the damper with an app that mesures the amount of vibration. The result isnt necessarily impressive.
SP connect has a great anti vibe set up that beat my iPhone vibe issues. Had two phones fail until I got the anti vibe setup-all good now
That’s awesome! Would you mind posting a link to the mount you have?
@@PASSIONBUILT Even this anti vibration system doesn't solve the problem. They do not work ''100%'' does not state it fixes the problem
just mounted SP connect with anti damp, i had a 15 minute ride home, camera broke... soo guess iphone sucks...
Which problem you had? I have some strange dots on my camera
I have a Honda CB300F which is by no means a high-powered motorcycle. It fried my iPhone 12 camera in a week. I didn’t know what happened to the phone and it was still under warranty and Apple replaced the camera for free. It’s ridiculous that they would call it user error. Thats how you use a phone if you ride. I used to have an old LG phone and it never had this issue. Goes to show sometimes new technology brings new problems. I just keep my phone in my pocket now and use the audio for navigation.
Glad to hear you were able to have the camera replaced without any issues! But yeah, riding with the phone in the pocket is always the safest bet. Less distractions and never have to worry about that camera issue.
Jon, good video. I m not a fan of apple. However, I think it should apply to all made of phone. I only mount phone to handlebar when I get lost and needed gps help. Otherwise it is a distraction and constantly worrying about flying phone😄😄
Thanks Peter! As much as I would like to say this applies to all phones. The main phone that is having this issue is the iPhone. But I completely agree with you. Phones mounted on the handlebars are too distracting.
it does happen to Samsung phones as well. I am trying the quadlock with vibration dampener to see if it works
Thanks for the comment Pete! It’s good to know that iPhones aren’t the only phones dealing with this issue. Check back in after a couple of months with that quadlock setup and let us know how it’s working for you. It has been recommended by multiple people since I’ve uploaded this video 😃
@pics-by-pete any update?
Wonder if this still is the case on newer iPhones like the iPhone 15PM
I’m not sure but that’s an expensive phone to find out on 😅
True that! Don’t think I’m willing to test that either
Will a bike as small as grom cause this issue?
It is very possible. Just take caution. A lot of people have recommended the Ram Quad Lock mount since I’ve posted this and said that they never had that issue with that phone mount.
Lost my iPhone 11 camera to this. I wish ram made a vibration dampening system like quad lock cause I like the ram system better.
Sorry to hear. Hope you were able to have the phone repaired under warranty.
Just go with a Samsung.... I've been using a quad lock with and no dampener for over 3 years now. Almost 35k miles no issues
Someone else commented saying that it actually happened to their Samsung but they’re using the quadlock now. Apparently the quadlock is the go to mount. Thanks for your feedback though. Hopefully people start using the quadlock system. 🙂
Does putting my phone on a motorcycle tank bag or saddle bag damage it?
I’ve never had any issues with storage in a tank or saddle bag.
@@PASSIONBUILT so it's safe to put it in a saddle bag or tank bag? Only mounting can damage the phone?
From my experience of putting my phone on my magnetic gas tank bag. I’ve never had any issues and I would say it’s a safe spot for your phone. I’ve never personally used saddle bags but they should prevent the harsh vibrations from going to your phone. When the phone is hard mounted to the bike, it causes the harsh vibrations to go directly to your phone and cause damage.
Maybe that’s why my phone started freaking out oh my god I’m pissed
Yeah man. Sorry to hear. Try taking your phone to Apple and try to warranty it. I’ve heard a few people get away with it.
Do more spread the good info.
I’m spreading the good info like butter 😂
I just ruined the camera on my 14 Pro Max with a Rockform mount on my ZX6R. FYI Rockform has zero damping, and it cost over $100…
Sorry to hear that. Hope Apple covered the repair.
@@PASSIONBUILT I find out Thursday. Imma say “I don’t even own a motorcycle” lol
@@bmddltonlol so what was yhe verdict. Did they replace or repair it?
@@myfleshdiesdaily they replaced it and said they would replace it as many time as it broke until the 1 year warranty was up. Also, I called Rocform multiple times and never got a call back. They’re a terrible, fly-by-night company, that makes a shit product.
@@bmddlton ok cool thanks for the response. Yep I think I’m gonna get the 14 and try a dampening mount 🤞🏾
I went on a few rides and now my camera is buzzing like a mf and can’t focus. Fucking ridiculous…
Sorry to hear that. Hope you can have it fixed under warranty.
Here as a victim, rockform mount on a DRZ400
Sorry to hear that! Did they warranty your phone?
Damn Rockform is supposed to be one of the best ones!
They had to fix my camera three times. Before they figured it out.
Glad to hear that you actually got your camera fixed though. Some people didn’t get their phone warrantied from that type of damage.
I’ve lost two phones to this (11 Pro & 12 Pro). Of course it took months of bullying Apple to resolve the issues both times. So glad someone finally made a video on this!!!
Bummer! I’m sorry to hear about that but glad you got the issue resolved with Apple! Please check out my other videos and subscribe to the channel if you haven’t already. I’m trying to hit 2k subs before the new year! 🙂
How do you resolve the issue with Apple?
All ya gotta do is mount your phone, turn on your camera and watch what it does. High powered? So they're safe on Harleys then?
I’ll take your word for it. Don’t wanna test that theory on my phone’s camera 😅
I would assume Harleys would be the ultimate phone destroyers with the amount of vibrations that they put out 😂
@@PASSIONBUILT They said "high powered"🤣
Motorcycles will destroy watches you wear while riding too. It’s not just an iPhone thing.
I’ve never thought about that! Thanks for letting me know. I’ll never wear my nice watch while riding! Does that go for both analog and digital smart watches or just smart watches?
@@PASSIONBUILT I’ve only destroyed an analog watch that way, I think digital is fine and smart watches are dubious
Well thanks for the heads up! I appreciate that! 🙂👍🏼
Answer, buy Android
Not exactly. People with certain Androids have chimed in the comments section about their phones having the same issue. So it’s not just iPhones being affected by this issue.
