- How I mount my drone controller and smartphone to the handlebars of my Tenere 700 World Raid. is a question I get all the time. I have tried different solutions but never found the "perfect" setup for my use. But now it seams like I have finally found the hidden gem. The motorcycle phone mount from @peakdesignvideo is absolutely amazing and ticks of all my boxes.

I don't know how I missed this video Thomas as it is something I wanted to learn about. Thanks for the great info and video and as always, top quality :)
So glad you found this Mike and happy you found it valuable. It is such a huge difference to have easy setups like this. As you can see in the beginning. It is always a struggle to find the right spot with the quad locks. Djices. 😇🙈
Hey Thomas, what a pleasure is to arrive home from working the night shift and find your video ready to play‼️👍👍👍
Hello my friend, always glad to see you in the comment section 👏🏻 I'm currently working on a video about the new Zumo XT2 as well 😇 Hope you are well. Cheers
I really like your videos! simple thinking and very practical. down to the point !!! these times a thank the You Tube for existing. Cheers from Greece.
Thank you sir, appreciate the nice comment and thank you 🙌🏻
Nice one.
Would you be interested in making a showcase video of your cooking and brewing equipment? I see you have a fancy coffee grinder and pour over gear.
Topics that's highly interesting:
Dimensions, weight and packing the equipment. Using and cleaning it, why you went for that solution.
Thanks for great videos!
Cheers mate ☕ Yes, this is absolutely a video I would be interesting in making. I have already made some notes about a similar video, so I can adjust it to your request. Let me see what I can make of it and what a great excuse to get out on a little camping adventure again 😇 I'm taking notes of your exact request and will see to it shortly.
Fantastic video, Thomas. Well done 😃
Thank you Thalassa 👏🏻🔥 i’m so incredible impressed with this setup 👌🏻🎥 perfect for my use! More to come 😉
That *click* when you place the item on the mount is so satisfying. I more than once take my phone off and put it back on again just to hear it haha! Great solution for the drone controller, I've looked at it too, but the universal adapter is just a tad too big for placing it on a usable spot on my RC without blocking the vent or control sticks. Now looking at another solution for on my Mosko tankbag, velcro something
Hahahaha i do the exact same thing 😂👏🏻 those cliks are….ngh 🙈sorry to hear this! I see that DJI will release the air 3 drone next week! So then i may be in the same position you are! But there most be a way to modify the mount or something! I will let you know if i find a great way of doing it 👀👏🏻
@@tshansen yup! Smacking it on there as if it’s nothing hehe. Yeah, but I’ll find a way to get my remote on a good spot. All roads lead to Rome right? 🙌🏼
I wen to Peak this year with my new 14 Pro Max! I didn't was to chance viberations with the new $$$ phone. I too used the Quadlock, it was fine but their case and the clamp/locking mount is just 'next level' . Amazing!!!
Yeah, there is such a big difference in all the components. There is no dubt that PeakDesign used a lot of effort to get this right. I saw they did a collaboration with Nomad now, so you can get a rugged case for the phone as well. Cheers
Thanks for giving us that solution to have instant access to our drone controller!
I also see you finally prefer osmo action 3 than gopro...
😉
You are welcome mate. Yeah, I like all the features and ease of use better on the Action 3, but I still wish they could have done a better job with the sensor and colours. But you can't win all the battles. 😂
Great to see that this solution seems to work. I was impressed by the peak design lock system as well when we looked at it. She's such an influencer 😁👍
Yes, it works really well! And i could not be more happy! Hahah, yes she saw two dummy’s from the north and knew it was an easy job 😂👏🏻 cheers from the tent in DK tjommi ☕️
@@tshansen 6X🍺 cheaper than an 🍦👀😁👍
Komiskt, satt ute i garaget och funderade på hur jag ska fästa handkontrollen på tankväskan inför Norge turen som startar på fredag :) 👍
Perfekt timing 😂👏🏻 jeg brukte litt borrelås under min mini drone controller når jeg hadde enduristan tankvesken! Det fungerte også, men ikke like trygt følte jeg 👌🏻
@@tshansen Synd det inte finns nån som säljer deras prylar här bara, bara en massa väskor och annat skit.
Great tip! Will trry it. Now i have velcro on my controller and attach it to the tankbag.
I had that on my mavic mini controller as well and put it on top of my enduristan tankbag. 👌🏻
That looks really good! Was looking around for something for my drone control and this just got on my list as an option
Yeah, I'm absolutely amazed how well it works. And so glad it can switch so fast and easy between phone and controller. 👌🏻
Thanks Thomas, I'm midnight shopping with a few whiskeys, order placed 🍻🤣
Been looking for an elegant solution to the drone controller and this looks like it just may be it!
I have yet to find anything that is so slick and Nice as this 👏🏻🔥 midnight shopping is always Nice 😆😂
Hi Thomas, what a great video! Thank you very much! It looks sow easy and fast to mount your phone or Controller. It is may be quite expensive but I forget the money real quick when I use this great system. Thanks 🙏👍
Glad you liked it mate. Haha, yeah...that is so true. Sometimes things feels expensive just by the looks of it, but when you start using it (over and over again) those small differences makes such a huge deal. Like my tripod, that I have to take up and down x amount of times every trip. Or my heated jacket. I would pay twice the price to have it again now that I'm used to the comfort from it. Cheers
bought the Peakdesign bicycle mount this week, it rocks! excellent quality, pricy, but worth it.
Had an SP connect mount earlier on my motorbike, sold that as I wasn't happy with it. May consider the motorbike mount as well.
Nice review Thomas
SP Connect is the name of that other brand, I remember someone tried to push something like that on me a couple of years ago. But after testing it I was not impressed. Glad you liked it mate, cheers 👏🏻
I don't have a drone yet but thanks so much for all your time and info on it that helps a lot !
You are welcome mate 👏🏻 Glad you find it useful 🙌🏻
I’ve had the same mount for my phone for a few months now and I love it. The phone just seems to get sucked to the mount and is secure. Haven’t used it for my drone yet so thanks for the idea, might give it a go. PD seems to produce quality kit / solutions.
I did not know that peak design had these mount before my friend made me aware. I have always seen them as a photographer first brand. It is really high quality stuff with so much better overall look than the competition 👍🏻
Bu alet çok kullanışlı 👍
Kesinlikle öyle ve bu kadar iyi olmasından ve gidonuma sığmasından gerçekten çok mutluyum.
Hi Bro This is very informative video. Thanks a lot for sharing this. Stay blessed always.😍
Thank you, glad you liked it 👏🏻
I agree about PD. I’ve been using them for a few years now…
If more people knew how much more convenient it was! They’d be amazed!
Yeah, I agree... if more people see it and try it, they will be just as surprised as I was. About time someone desaturate the market for quad locks. It seams like they have the only solutions because of the amount of units out there. Cheers
LOL! You're a genius! Thank you! I already have Peak Design mount for my phone with magnetic case, i just need to buy the universal for the controller. I was thinking also if it would be possible somehow to attach the controller to the tank ring, but for the moment this is a great solution.
Haha, Thank you! This works so incredible well 🔥🔥
@@tshansen Hi there! Sorry another question, i tried the case etc., everything's fine for that, and thanks again! But another issue, i have a Dji Air2S, do you by chance have any problems with the active tracking? Because i can't use that, it does not recognize me on bike thus can't track me :(
Muito legal 👏👏👍👍👊😄
obrigado você é muito gentil
Great video as usual. 👌🏼
Like you I repurposed an old bicycle quad lock mount for using my drone. I also hate the faff trying to get the controller seated on the mount. But one thing to be careful off is the drone controller joysticks 🕹... On one ride I noticed they had worked themselves loose. Probably due to the bike & road vibrations.. I was lucky I stopped when I did or I would have lost a stick...
Yeah... that was actually a thing I did not think would bother me as much as it did. The constant search for the right angle so I could attach the controller properly. It was driving me insane 🙈 I have never experienced the stick undo them self, but I always bring an extra pair of sticks on my trips. To easy to loose one that I take the chance not to bring. Cheers
Great vid Thomas! Nicely done, that goes for the filming and the mount itself. Always questioning myself if I should get something like that or is it just another thing to worry about while riding? I don’t know. Another idea… much simpler though; what if you put velcro on top of the tankbag and controller? That way the controller has its shock absorber through the bag? Anyways, keep them coming👍😃 greetz.
Thank you mate. For me and my needs, this is a no brainer and nothing to worry about. I used to put Velcro on my mavic mini controller and put it on the top of the enduristan tank bag i had, but that did not work on the mosko tank bag. And it is not that secure. Much more to come Ricard.
Great video, as always. Me and my wife wonder if you will make a surprise appearance at ABR fest 🤔
Thank you Nick. No, I’m not making an appearance at the ABR festival, sorry! But I’m booked for the Lightweight festival in July. ☺️
Great video my friend. Loved it. Big Like!!! Greetings . See you👍🏼👍🏼😊🙋♂️🙋♂️
Thank you so much Jim 👌🏻 See you 🔥
Really nice setup. Wonder how the universal mount would fit the newer controller with the integrated screen. The new controller has buttons below.
Ooohhh... so there is buttons? Do you know what the buttons are for? There could prabably be a way to glue something on down lower. Or maybe it is possible to 3D print a bracket first? 🤔
Hello, great video. I have same issue with QLock but I am coping so far. Can you say bit more about the camera and chin strap you use? As well as the drone?
Thank you Sir, It looks like a lot of us has gone down that road, but it is never too late to turn 😂 I use 3 different cameras. A Sony A7s iii, the Osmo Action 3 and the Mavic air 2. The chin strop, is a little metal mount that fits the Krios Pro. Not sure the name, I found it on eBay.
It looks somewhat similar to the DJI action cam mount: magnets to align it and clips to secure it. Looks like a decent upgrade from what you had. The ease of use is very nice, but knowing for sure that its securely locked when attaching an expensive device to it - thats peace of mind ☺️
Yeah, It is almost the same, but you only need to release it on one side to get it off. Really impressed and happy about this. Haha, yeah. Riding around with my phone on the handlebar is not something I'm used to, but I guess it is just another tool. Think of it as a treasure will only make you scared of using it like intended 😇 How is your upcoming projects going? I saw you elbow greased your rims clean like I have never seen before. I need some of that my self 😂
@@tshansen yeah, I did not clean the rims property last year, twice as much work this year 🥴 Just started on my next video, continuing the work on my cafe racer 😎
@@kihestad Haha, that is always fun! double the work next year. You devil! Working like crazy in-between to finish some minor videos as well. We need to do something together again soon 🤩
Looks really good but I went down the quadlock route. I do agree with you about the difficulty when mounting the phone on the quadlock, I cant mount it one handed or as easily as it shows on their web site. But may consider an upgrade 🤘
Yeah, I think we all get lured to belive that quad lock is the shit. I think they have done something clever, just spread it out by numbers and I think in the beginning, they were the only one doing these mounts. So the market is oversaturated with quad lock. I see the same tendency with LoneRider gear 😇 but that is another discussion 🤭
Good video,is the magnetic strong enough for bumpy off road tracks?
It is not a magnetic mount alone, it locks in with magnets, but stay in place with a clip on each side. When it is attached it's not going nowhere! 👏🏻
Чудовий огляд чоловіче! а ідея з контролером візьму собі на озрбоєння! також можна використовувати айфон як екшен камеру якщо прикріпити на груди з допомогою кріплення гоу про і кріетор кіт пік дизайн
Thank you sir. Yeah, that is actually a really good tip. Just attach it to the capture clip I use on my bags. Thank you 🙌🏻
Have you tried it off road yet? I'm curious how it will go over corrugations. I have the Mini 3 Pro so a slightly different layout on the back of the controller but this looks like a great option!
No, not off-road, but I have tried it on some gravel roads and some bumpy parts. Sticks like you would expect and the shaking does not seam to effect the mount at all. In really rough terrain I would consider putting it back into the tank bag.
Thanks for the informative video. I have a T7 as well and was wondering if this mount fits the top bar above the speedometer where you have your Garmin mounted to? I don't feel like going down the Quad Lock rabbit hole. Thanks
Glad you liked it mate. I don’t think this bar mount fits, the diameter is just to big, but you could probably find something to add so it will be more bulky just to fit the mount. But keep in mind that the rod where the gps unit is mounted vibrates a lot. So you will some sort of extra stability for that as well (if you don’t already have it)
@@tshansen awesome, definitely appreciate the feedback.
Looks very nice. Inspired by you I used the QuadLock with charger (for the phone) and vibration dampener on my recent trip to Norway. I changed between the phone and the DJI controller. On the trip, I did a good deal of offroad riding, and I could be concerned if the magnet can keep the remote in place when it gets really bumpy? I looked into Peak Design earlier and it seems really a nice product. And now I am at it. I need to thank you for the inspiration - many of my POIs on my recent trip were from inspiration by your videos :-)
It is not magnetic alone, it has a locking feature as well in the center. So it locks in and find it position with magnets, but it lock in with to sides in the center square. I have really tried to shake that loose, and trow it back on fourth... it's not coming loose without you pressing in one of the release buttons.
So glad my trips inspired your trips and places to visit. Hope you had a great adventure here in Norway. 👏🏻
@@tshansen Ahh … was not aware of the locking feature - maybe I should give it another (closer) look? Having the camera and drone handy is crucial for making content I think. My trip was awesome … the weather was fantastic, and the scenery was overwhelming. Went from Oslo - Gjenten Bru - Røste - Oppdal - Åndalsnes - Lom - Lillehammer - Oslo. With all the good stuff "en route". Tron and Blåhøi were still closed due to snow on the summit - so I did not get all the way. And Gamle Strynfjellvegen opened two days after I left. But then there is a reason to come back. But all the other stuff was there … travelling alone in remote areas is special and I can really identify with your experience about being thoughtful and getting in a special mood on some days. The beauty of nature goes into your soul.
@@henrikkaufmann3009 Yeah, camera, mic, tripod and drone should always be easy accessible, or else you won't use it and miss many great moments. That is my experience. Really glad to hear you had a great trip and experience. It is trange how you get in touch with your self on trips like this. Cool to hear you can relate to my feelings doing the same thing. Cheers ☕
Thomas, this looks like a nice solution. Looking forward to hearing how it holds up while riding off-road. Will it hold the iPhone and controller on the bigger whoops? Cheers.
I have not tested it on long days in bumpy conditions, but I had a spin on my local enduro track and that was perfectly fine. Vibrated like crazy (as it should) but no hard knocks on the corners of the cushion
@@tshansen OK, that is good news as I'm looking for a solution. Once again great video!
@@jamesprecious1035 you are welcome mate 👌🏻🔥
Hey Thomas, have you tried your constraption in Offroad use? would be curios with bigger shakes if the Controller stays where it belongs
Hello fred! Yes i have tried this on some really bumpy stuff and it holds like superglue between the fingertips 🙈🤌🏻🙈
Hi,
Always a good review. But are you able to stick the Peak Design «sticker» on the drone controller on an easy way? (It is over 50mm x 50 mm that sticker?)
Or did you eventually end up with using Sugru to make it stick (as I always end up with on exposed mounts.)
Yeah, the 3M sticker is really well secured under my controller! But i made sure to use a little bit of sandpaper to make it rough. Before attaching the sticker
Thanks for. your swift reply.
I have a Mini 3 pro RC controller and the Quadlock sticker mount is 58mm x 58mm. I just not able to fit that mount with the controllers external heat exchanger. I am not sure what to choose yet
Hi Thomas! I was wondering what drone do you use on your videos?
Hello, I'm using the DJI Mavic Air2 drone. Have served me well for the last couple of years 🙌🏻
Looks much easier and minimal compared to QuadLock. I am looking for a similar drone mount but the darn RC controller does not have space for a universal mount. Cheers
Yeah, it is night and day... and the satisfaction locking it in and out of the mount... mmm!!! 😂👀🤌🏻 why does it not have space? because of the small went and rubber things? What about 3D print something to make a flat surface, tec7 it to the controller and then get the universal mount? Cheers tjommi 🍻
Hi Thomas, Can i ask your review on the Nomax tank bag on the world raid ? not an easy bike to pick a tank bag for...
Sure you can Phillip 👏🏻 It's not like I have so many experiences with the world raid and different tank bags, but I have experience with different tank bags on other bikes. For me, the Nomax tank bag is the best one I have come across. But my needs are based on camera gear and equipment I store for that particular reason. Whit this, and the two layers it is much easier to fit more and organise it better. There is just no other tank bag I have found that gives so much in such a small package. For me there is not many other alternatives, so I'm not sure if I just accept it for what it is and make the best of it, or I'm really happy because there is no other tank bag that sit so good on the bike. Easy to clip on and off for fuel. Not in the way when stand up riding. It is just great. Do you have any specific questions or just general? Cheers
@@tshansen Thanks Thomas , it was mainly about how the bag feels on this particular bike . I ised to have a nomax tank bag on my 1200 gsa . I sold both . Now i have a world raid and so far am running a lone rider tail bag but am missing a tank bag . I am contemplating either buying a mosko moto nomax again or the smaller gnome . Just. Not sire how it would fit on the very unusual tank of the world raid .
@@philippegosseau Well, it follows the end or front of the seat more than it sits on top of the tank when I study pictures I have taken of it. If the smaller one fits your needs when it comes to size, maybe ask online if anyone have good pictures of it so you can compare?
Hei Thomas, har du tracking på denne drona? Nok en bra film fra deg.
Ja, eller... DJI skryter av at det er tracking på denne dronen, men jeg vil si at den er såpass upålitelig at det ikke er verdt å vurdere en gang 😇
Precis vad jag tänkte DJI är tyngre än telefon men det verkar funka, jag har monterat remmar / band på en drönar förvaringsbox som jag fäster runt tanken och på locket på en har jag ett brett textil gummiband som jag lägger över manöverenheten och en säkerhetslina med karbinhake som jag fäster under telefonen på manöverenheten BARA min idé
Ja, selve kontrollen er samme vekt som en iPhone 14 max, hvertfall ikke langt unna. Så kontrolleren alene er ingen problem for mobil festet, men jeg kan ikke gi noen garantier på hvordan det vil utvikle seg med både kontroll og telefon samtidig over tid. Men det finner jeg fort ut av 😇 Jeg har inntrykk av at det er ingen problem. Aaaahhh... det hørtes ut som en lur ordning det også. Man finner alltid gode og smarte løsninger der ute når man deler slikt innhold. Takk! 👏🏻
Won't the magnet interfere with the compass on the phone, giving a false reading. Go out somewhere and try a return to home and see if compass is affected by the magnet.
That is a damn good question, but correct me if i’m wrong, does the drone use the phone compass for that? From what i understand it is the compass in the drone, like if my phone shut down, or loose connection to the drone it start to fly home to the point it took off! If i take off from a place, move 100m with my controller, the drone returns to the first point unless i set it with my controller?
@@tshansen The magnet will interfere with the phones compass, so if you use the phone to program your drone, you might have problems, check it out. It happened to me flying my Spark and Air.
@@3goldfinger I will do so mate... thank you for this tip, will test out and investigate this more. 👏🏻
It's funny, i came to the same solution by myself with a square form and a magnet. I made it myself with my 3D printer.
Haha, that is genius, do you have the same controller or do you have the RC controller?
@@tshansen Unfortunately i don't have a drone lol i use it for my phone ! And i made the same mount on my helmet so i can put my phone on it and use it as a camera !
i tried to send £2 as a thank you … but it won’t allow me to do it from Capetown !
That is perfectly fine mate... just glad my video could help you out. Enjoy and thank you for the support 🙌🏻
Why mount your drone controller to your handlebar ?
Because it makes the workflow much faster and you can launch and land you drone without even get of the bike.
@@tshansen didn't think it this way. Thanks. 😊
