Give a quad lock to a toddler, that's the real test
True! My toddlers could break Wolverine’s claws
@@danieldoyle253 my toddler once broke a Nokia 3310. Then he stopped looking at it
You know, I think you are getting really good offroad. You're sending it a lot more smoothly.
I really appreciate that my guy! I've been practicing a lot, and I felt really confident out there for this one.
I just got my Quad Lock setup today and I love it.
It’s the best.
Spite, you’re killing it these days. Track and off road skills are STRONG ✊🏻💨💨💨
10:40 Takes a fall, gets up and laughs it off. Respect.
Used Quad lock for years. Mount on my HD, mount on my Yamaha, and a mount in my car. Love it! Stand by their products 100%
Love the mounting system on the Hawk, and I hope you do more videos on Hawk 250. I'm saving up to get me one and would love to see what kind of fun or trouble you can get into with yours.
I've got another one planned for next week.
Can concur on the quad lock even just as a normal phone case its one of the few that I’ve ever had that hasn’t either cracked apart on the corners or slowly expanded and gotten loose on the phone. Case is scratched to hell but still solid on the phone and still mounts solid on the bike
I got a Peak Designs case and handlebar mount and I'm pretty happy with it.
i got a peak design mount as well after my quadlock failed and dropped my phone off the bike at 60mph... the peak design mount is magnetic on top of its latching mechanism and it doesnt require an extra dampener. it is built in and better than QL's dampener.
@@SummitCoyoteI'd love to see someone do a scientific test to see who's dampener works the best. Every company claims theirs is the best, but I've never seen real testing. Even fortnine screwed that one up by not testing peak designs and not testing quadlock with the dampener
@@pocketlint82 i can tell you that my phone shook even with the QL damper... it doesn't shake at all with the PD mount
Been rocking my peak design for a year now. The mix of magnetic and mechanical latching is rock solid and I love that you don't need a separate vibration dampener. Only complaint with the PD mount is the bar clamp is quite a bit thicker than Ram and QL, fits fine on one bike but on the other I couldn't find space due to the bend of the bar and clutch freeplay adjuster being in the way. Had to mount it to the stock mirror hold with a 1" ball adapter
@@pocketlint82 The fact that they bought multiple brands and types of motorcycles to test says alot
Quadlock recommends the damper for certain models of bikes. in my case I had my phone on a Quadlock on the Husky 701 (one of the recommended models for the damper) for 3 years with no damper and the camera on my phone never had any issues. I still decided to move up to a damper starting this year with a new bike and new phone, but yeah it's good stuff.
Just put a reservation on a 24 MT09. Looking forward to the navigation and media controls over wireless. Wont have to bother with annoying phone mounts!
I love quad lock, have it on 2motorcycles, road bike, gravel bike and my mountain bike. I don't use it in my car though 🤔.
There are always cheaper options but the quality and service is there to back it up. I will continue to buy their stuff.
Ive always wondered which was better rokform or quad lock
Shout out for the Spiritbox!
I have friends that use quad lock and they love them. But this was more impressive the hawk made it lol. Keep up the good work
I use quadlock. And I can say with confidence that it's an awesome product. My friend also uses quadlock and looped her motorcycle and the phone stayed in place and wasn't harmed. I've had my phone acting as a lap timer and data logger during a track day and it wasn't an issue.
I've been using the $9 eBay clones. I haven't had a failure yet, and I can't really tell a quality difference between them and the orig. There's no vibration damper but I guess if you needed one you could use a real QL one, the plates are compatible. I don't have a phone that's sensitive to vibrations so I haven't tried that.
I've been using a quad lock since I got back on a bike (almost 30 years off) at the end of the rona lockdowns in 2021. First it was with a quad lock phone case, but not long after I bought a phone they didn't make a case for. That forced me to get the stick on mount about 18 months ago. To say I was hesitant would be a gross understatement, but after seeing a video where numerous mounts were tested to destruction, the mount broke before the tape failed (prep is key). I'd seen people hurting their phone's camera with other mounts, plus I was going to a decent size (90ci) twin, and heard it was the vibrations from some bigger twins doing the damage. A bit over 2 years later, and now upgraded to a Boulevard C-109R the camera on my phone still works fine, even with the shitty, pot holed roads here in Sydney (Aus). If it ever does break, I'll replace it with another one without a second thought, cause for my money it's the best out there.
My quad lock did really good on my klr while I was doing long trips, jumps, whoops, ruts, until I hit a car going 40 mph and then the vibration dampener was nowhere to be found and my phone flew 30 ft from my bike.
Coincidentally...on Tuesday a mate and I did an adventure ride into the mountains. He has a quad lock (BMW F800GS mounted), I have a RAM mount XL750 Transalp. Both powered. His quad lock jettisoned his phone halfway back. Mine didn't budge a mm.
More than likely your mate didn't attach it properly 🤷♂
Hidden falls off-road park!!! I love that place!!! So much fun and on site camping
I'm going to become a member and probably going to be spending two or three weekends a month there. I had so much fun riding there.
@@spitescorner bro, it is legitimately one of the coolest places to go ride here in Texas. There and Big Bend....but I'd rather ride at Hidden Falls for sure.
Was there water moving through the creek and to the waterfall? It's dang sure not as big as Pedernals Falls but it's still cool! Loved the video!
Been using quad lock a while. First setup had no damper and that did kill the camera on my pixel 3 after a few thousand ks. Added a damper and changed to a pixel 7, so far all good 👍
I f*(&kn hate my quad lock but it works. Just wish they would use magnets to help line the phone up. Everyone makes it look so easy.
Spiritbox? HELL YEAH!
I have a quadlock pro w/vibration dampener. It's a really good mount. I have never had a problem with my camera on my Pixel7 pro. Before the pro I had the regular mount with no problems.(Only reason I got the pro is I like aluminum) What's funny is I only started using them because they offered cases for the Pixel while the other mount companies didn't.
I use SP Connect with the vibration dampener. I used to use the ram mount holder and it killed my iPhones camera. Since I’ve gone to SP Connect my phone has been fine.
Haven't watched the video yet but so far from my experience i love quadlock. I use it on my street bike and even use it on my 87 yz250 on the motocross track and trail riding never had an issue
I would like to see a quadlock test on an MX bike around a track!
Great video. When are you going to introduce your stunt double?
I do all my own stunts. I'm practically Tom Cruise 😂
Oh yeah. I see the resemblance now.
Can you make an video about what Naked bikes are good to buy in 2024 ? Because everybody is talking about Hornet and Suzuki to be better than MT07 but does it feel the same riding it, would love your take on this.
Enjoyed the video, am impressed with the mounts and protection. Where were you riding? Am always looking for good dual sport places in Texas.
This was Hidden Falls Adv Park outside of Marble Falls. It was my first time, and I'm for sure going back. Great, well maintained bike trails, tough but not insane, and only $30 a day without a membership.
You do look more comfortable off roading. I think Rokform, Quadlock, SP Connect, Peak Design and heck to some even Ram Mount works just fine.
I've been using the SP connect phone mount for at least 6 years now and still works perfectly.
I'm thinking of switching to SPC+ because their combo charger/dampener is so much lower profile than stacking Quad Lock's charger on top of their dampener
@@MH5tube i have the older version of the mount with the dampener on it and indeed it has a lower profile and the dampening works pretty good imo
In the last five years I've run multiple cross country rides, multiple dual sport rides, multiple single/double track rides, and several crashes with my phone in a quad lock mount. I crashed my DRZ400 hard enough to break my clavicle in three places a couple years back and the phone never moved. I use their mount, vibration damper, and waterproof wireless charging head. Not once has a piece of quad lock equipment failed. They just work every time.
took a lowside around 20mph and my phone was completely fine. The only thing I really hate is having to stick a big puck on the back of my phone since they don't make a case for it.
Peak Design for the win.
I use Quadlock because there are no cases for my phone anymore - at all.
Quadlock is great for 3D-printing your own case for it.
What if you use the phone as a camera instead of the Cosmo? "Accidentally leave the camera on"
I messed up my camera for my galaxy S8 about 4 years ago with the standard mount (the vibration damper wasn't a thing then) I still have them, but I have had issues with them in the past
Quadlock is my favorite, i have it on my R6 and even 100+ you know that phone isn’t going anywhere especially with these pot holes up here
What do you think about quad lock versus rock form? I didn’t pick the other brand that has the locking mechanism by going around the phone. I do like how those two brands lock on the back while the other brand im trying to describe only has like a retainer on the front corners of the screen not a big fan of that style due to I’ve seen it fall off before, but besides that what do you think about Rockform vs quad lock. Aren’t they almost identical?
I have spent a long time with both, and I can say, the magnet on the rokform cases can be annoying. It's way stronger, but it also plays havoc with my S23's stylus. It also consistently wiped out hotel room keys when I was traveling. The quadlock case is much lower profile too, but offers comparable protection in my experience.
@@spitescorner very good point , well spoken thank you for the reply so cool that you did
I prefer the RAM quick grip, as I don't need to have the Quad Lock case to use the system
My Ram mount sucked, my phone kept workng its way out of the little rubber tips and almsot lost my phone a few times, it also constantly pressed the buttons on the side of my phone. Ditched it for the quad lock and threw that ram mount in the trash
@@raymondmateri3440You used the Ram X-Grip... which was never designed for use on a motorcycle. The Ram Quick Grip is a completely different design and is much more secure, just a large eyesore for a bike.
I use a Hondo garage unit and have never lost a phone.
Peak Design is better
edit: vibration damper built in, better attachment mechanism, mount is more sleek, better phone case, and less expensive
Yeah it seems a lot better but in my country peak design is almost double the price of quadlock with vibration dumpener. So I decided to go with quadlock
My phone is shattered in my QL. It's never been dropped moor than the standard chest high drop. Screen is fine. The glass back is shattered(shaduby).
Every time I post a video with my Hawk X 250 someone says "I learned my lesson with these Chinese bikes" or something of that nature meanwhile like you I've rode my fair share of bikes and still think my hawk is probably the best $2000 I've ever spent on 2 wheels. Good ride! 🌻
To be honest, the Hawk 250 makes more and more sense to me in a world were KTMs are like $12000 and a used Hondas are close to $5K. It needs work, but the money you save up front you can put into mods later.
I love my hawk 250, bought mine last year as a beginner and have absolutely loved it with no regrets. Have almost 2,000 miles with no major issues. Sure you have to work on it a bit to getting it running good, but it's a budget beast. Can't beat the price to bike
@@itsbrandenbro It's a good platform to learn on, not just riding but wrenching too. Most parts are available on Amazon for less than $100. Hard to go wrong.
@@itsbrandenbro Exactly! I have videos on my Hawk X 250 I got from Orion Powersports and had the prep work and Nibbi carb installed before it even showed up! All I’ve done so far is change out the chain (because I wanted to), and added handlebar covers and haven’t had a issue other than just tinkering with the carb here and there just to try to get a better tune and I’m at 1900 miles now! (And of course I changed the oil 🤣)
My quadlock (vibration damper and wireless charging head) survived 15,000km on my Tenere 700, including a 500km rally race where the best surfaces where quad atv trails.
And im NOT a great offroad boi. I crashed that bike HARD. A lot of times.
Not once did my quadlock drop my phone.
Meanwhile, i had a RAM X-Grip mount on my Tracer, and it dropped my phone on pavement at 180kph juat from wind pressure (admittedly not using the stupid rubber band).
Now with the quadlocks on 3 bikes, including my current mt10sp at 240kph, ive never had a phone even come close to falling.
Theyve been flawless. Quadlock for life.
I have a quad lock, really enjoyed it so I went and bought a fake rip off from Ali express for a fraction of the cost and it’s identical lol
Even the vibration damper from quad lock is identical to the one off Ali express
What nibbi carb and size air filter you got on there?
26mil I think. Whatever the second to the biggest one is
Mine snapped off in less than 29 miles of serious off road riding.
Put it on a road king, lol my heritage messed up my camera
Spite shows his phones history: Howdy there internet people it's Beau again...
I use a QuadLock with vibration damper & wireless charger head & I think it's a great combination....BUT..... the phone cases are really poor & a huge let down. They don't offer much protection (ask me how I know) & they really need to provide better impact protection. Let's face it, dropping a phone when motorcycling is far more likely when wearing gloves & almost certainly it's going to be a very hard surface.
Not me trying to see if that red labeled water bottle is an Ozarka at 13:21 😂
Ozarka: At least we're not Dasani... 😂
So you need to use a quad lock phone case in order to mount it?
No, they have universal adapters that you can stick on any case
Okay but what happens to a qaudlock if you crash over thirty mph?
From experience, nothing. Crashed at 30 offroad on my KLR and it was totally fine.
Been using Quad lock for a couple of years on my Hornet-600 and i have had no issues. My phone is safe, its easy to mount and use on the go and it's minimal design keeps my bars looking decluttered. Used to use the Ram x-grip and it was a big ugly mess that didn't hold my phone right.
At one point I thought I was going to get one those folding phone, buy into that hot new gimmick, but quadlock doesn't have a case for them, so that was an immediate pass from me. Priorities.
Nobody makes a mount for the folding phones and they likely never will.
What does he mean "live"? Does Spite stream live if so where ...
Had mine for 5 years now with the additional suspension attachment and it works perfectly
I bought a quad lock with vibration dampener after my other phone mount almost immediately broke my iPhone camera. I'm not a big fan of the wobble from the dampener, but I'll take that over an unusable camera every day of the week. Their phone case is great too, the mounting bump is reasonably thin & there's no visible damage after a few accidental drops onto concrete etc. And for bonus points they're an Australian company, so I get to support a local business.
The new Mag case has a flat back no mounting bump !
Better be for the price
Qudlock FTW
The slowest shipping in the marketplace.
Been using quadlock since 2020 when I got back onto two wheels, messed 1 phone up because i did not have the damper fitted. Changed that and have had no drama since, used on tiger900 and also speedmaster. I also have the magnetic case and use the mag lock in the car - perfect
I will stay with them for anything moving forward
I agree the quadlock is a good system
Been using mine for 3 years now on my gixxer and on my BMW r18 handle bar mount with the vibration damper and not one issue works perfectly.
I had quad locks on my bicycle, scooter and motorcycle. Two of the three were stolen while the bikes were parked. In the case of my motorcycle the quad lock was mounted on the rear vision mirror. The thief probably didn't have the Allen key to remove it, so they took the complete mirror. In the process they scratched up the gas tank pretty bad. Quad Lock $30, Mirror $179, quote for repairing scratches $600. So owning them has been a loss for me and I won't be buying another one, even though they are a good product. I have one quad lock left and the cost so far has been 2*$30 + $179=$209, or if I get the scratches fixed $209+$600=$809.
This is the reason I won't buy a yeti cooler. They are theft magnets. I bought an another brand that works just as well and no one even cares. Maybe a quick release phone mount like the ram claw would be better for you cause you can easily remove the whole mount and take it inside
Youve got a modern samsung, theres no risk
I tried em. Didn’t like it. Okay quality and all that. I just like my ram mount more. It’s just overall easier to use and for what I do it is more versatile.
Your zipper was down 😂
Yeah, long story lol
Nah bro, when you need to do a thing whilst you're there, you do it. 😆
Bought a handlebar mount for my HVA 701 Supermoto. Quadlock site recommended a vibration dampener, I didn't think I needed one. Fast forward to the first ride with my phone mounted to the handlebars and 4 kilometers later my camera OIS was done for, unusable. Bought the dampener soon after! Love the product. Also added a wireless charger to the mix.
Interesting. I also had my phone on a 701 for the past 3 years with no damper, never had any issues. They do recommend it for all Huskies and KTMs though, so best to get one anyway.
I love quadlock mounts, but I absolutely hate their cases.
They have 3m adaptors for whatever case you like
The newer mag cases no longer have the locking parts protruding so you lie the phone flat. Huge improvement. Also the cases can take an absolute beating. Dropped on concrete a few times and barely a scrape on it.
I have a quad lock pro system with vibration dampener and wireless charging. It works flawlessly but it was pretty expensive. The only thing I dislike is that it’s difficult to put the case on the mount. I wish they would use magnets to line up the case.
Mous Intralock is better! Give that a test!
Too much slapstick!!!
Is there such a thing?
This mount is great 100%
Their system for wireless charging is also great
But
Peak design has a better mount with integrated shock absorber , better case system and true MagSafe compatible.
I have Quadlock system on the wife’s bike , peak design on mine.
Unless wireless charging is mandatory on the bike - pd would be my pick
But both great products
And great video!
Quad lock is ass. Doesn’t stand up to whoops or chunky rock trails. Broke two of them and it let go of my phone more than a few times. Hondo mount is way more rugged
Spike, maybe adding more mass to your cam whilst using the dampener may reduce the vibrations further, not the fine ones but the rougher ones.
Also I have been thinking if I should get this quadlock system. Sure, there are a lot of reviews that swear that it performs really well. What I don't like is the actual mount on the phone. I rarely attach my old phone to my motorcycle, so having that extra mounting stuff on the phone will be a bit cumbersome for everyday use. I just like my phone to be slim. As for buying the dedicated phone case for quad lock, the barrier to entry just became more expensive for me. Any suggestions? This is not to bash quadlock, but rather find a solution for may case. Thanks!
Not a bad idea. Might see if I can come up with something for that.
Quadlock. An Australian company, developed by motorbike enthusiasts, that only relatively recently (years) released these to the world. They are number one for a variety of reasons and all others are just imitations or cheap alternatives.
Huh. Looks like you watch Beau.
Been following him for years
@@spitescorner same, just didn't expect to see it. I didn't expect to see a thumbnail I recognized, really.
My reason for refusing to use a quad lock has never been I think it won't hold my phone! It's 1000% because I do not trust the stupid case you have to use! My phone goes thru hell daily and it would of definitely been broken if I had there case on it! So for that reason alone I stay with Ram mount! One mount works on every phone!
Same here with the phone cases. My phone takes a beating all the time and I want to stick with my current cases. Does Ram mount have the vibration damper built in as well so the camera doesn’t crap out?
FWIW, phone has been through hell this past year with no issues in my Quad Lock case. And my case has the scars to prove it lol. I trust it with my phone regardless of whether they sponsor the channel.
@@thegreenman2030 I don't know for sure. But I do know I've been riding with it for almost 3 years now and I ride a big thumper KTM SMCR and I've had no issues with my camera. I have an S23 ultra. I've also heard that apple phones are more likely to have those cam issues. So id say if you have an android your probably safe but I'm also no expert on the topic!
I've been using a Quadlock for three years. They don't do a case for my phone so I bought a generic phone protector and stuck the Quadlock universal self-adhesive mount onto the phone protector. It's worked perfectly and, even after three years, there's no sign of the universal mount lifting. Highly recommended.
@@luddite6239 Good to know.
Umm Yeah, I stopped watching at the 1:04 sec.... Quadlock is a amazing, i have one on my phone (fellow Rider) and all 3 of my kids have the Quadlock cases... are they pricey? Yes, but so worth it, especially for the kids...
I've broken a s23 ultra by sitting on it while it was in a quadlock case lol
Try to get a shorter mount between the vibration damper and the camera which should reduce shake even more. My only issue with QuadLock is the lack of drop testing of their cases. For sure they seem to have the best mounting system but in the end I really need to know that if I butter finger my phone that it will survive.
I know the outcome of this, having used QL for a few years on motorbike, mountain bike, gravel bike and road bike. It works great. The only thing I think needs some real world testing is whether the vibration damper protects from the vibration for the bike, especially inline 4 sport bikes like the S1000R I have. I had the stabiliser bits in my iPhone damaged before QL launched their vibration damper, which I immediately bought and it seems to have prevented further damage. Those vibrations are a real risk - I had a bracelet on a Seiko watch damaged by this, with the link pins vibrating out. Strange thing is the vibrations do not bother me, in that I do not notice them as some people do but they do resonate with some things.
I use a rokform system, but it’s basically the same thing.
Even if I wasn't sponsored by them, I'd still be using their products over anything else.
10 second video. Yes. Next video
And here I thought you were a Rokform man 😉
I've used them both for years, and I genuinely prefer the quadlock set up. It's sleeker, the case is slimmer, and the Rokform magnet messes with my Stylus
@@spitescorner I was genuinely torn between the two, I used to use quad lock when I was cyclist, then your ‘older content’ had me second guessing. Glad I stuck with quad lock in the end.
Great video again keep up the great work ✌️
Quad Lock is the best ecosystem I've used so far. Spendy stuff, but very good!
So quad lock or not your risking your camera by using it off-road. We all do it but it’s a risk. But I do have to say that footage where you said “see look stabilizing is fine” it actually looked jumpy and weird
I notice the jerks are larger but less frequent, which makes sense. There's more give, so there's a larger variance in position, but over a shorter period of time
Rok Form is the best 🤙🏼
CODE BROWN *FRRRRRRT*
RAM mount is so much better and universal. No need of expensive crap from quadlock and their overpriced junk.
The only time I've had a phone fall off a motorcycle was with a Ram Mount.
@@spitescorner probably did not use it properly. Use the 4 fingers and the 4 corner rubber band thing. Solid as a rock
@@spitescornerdid you use the crappy X grip, or the actually good quick grip mount?
Ram handlebar mount with a quick grip is $66. And that's not even with the nice torq base, just the crappy ubolt. Quadlock handlebar mount is $50. Even with the extra $20 vibration mount they are similar price but ram has no vibration dampener. I have an old ram mount and now no matter how much I tighten it, the ball always droops after a few big bumps
@@pocketlint82Mine never dropped or moved. The rubber grommets on the 4 fingers are essentially a dampener. Even Ryan F9 provide the vibrations in the Quadlock is not good and quite bad.
Quad Lock is trash...
Please review Royal Enfield Himalayan 450
If I can get my hands on one I will
