Which Bike Phone Mount Should You Get?
In short
A handlebar clamp mount suits most bikes and is the most secure; a stick-on mount suits scooters and bikes with odd-shaped bars; a mirror mount uses the rear-view mirror stem on motorbikes and scooters. Add a rain cover if you ride in all weather, and always check the phone is locked in before you set off.

What's the most secure bike phone mount?
A handlebar clamp that grips the phone on all sides. The Baseus PrimeTrip VB1 Handlebar Mount clamps to the bar; pair it with the VB1 RainShield case for wet rides.
What if my handlebar is an unusual shape?
Use a stick-on mount on a flat part of the stem or frame: the PrimeTrip Stick-on Mount. For motorbikes and scooters, the GoTrip Rear-view Mirror Version uses the mirror stem.
Can vibration damage my phone's camera?
Strong, constant vibration, especially from motorbike engines, can affect some phone cameras' stabilisation. Apple advises against mounting iPhones on high-power motorcycles. On bicycles it's not usually a concern.
What about a phone stand at home?
For video calls and recipes, a stand saves holding the phone. Try the Baseus Foldable Magnetic Bracket, the Indoorsy telescopic tablet stand, or the TechShot selfie stick which doubles as a tripod.
