The video systematically evaluates three motorcycle phone mounting systems: Quad Lock, SP Connect, and Peak Design. It begins by comparing their costs, concluding whether Peak Design’s higher price is justifiable. Through rigorous tests, including vibration resistance and the ease of attaching/detaching phones, each system's performance is scrutinized. The vibration tests involved using a specialized app, finding that while SP Connect generally performed better, Quad Lock showed variable results.
Further tests emphasized the strength and durability of the mounts and adhesives, noting similar breaking points at around 21 kg. Key discussions included the ease of use and design features, with Peak Design praised for its magnetic and physical locking mechanisms, making it user-friendly and durable under stress. Despite Quad Lock's customizability, it was found cumbersome compared to the more straightforward SP Connect and the innovative Peak Design.
The video concludes by lauding Peak Design for its ease of use, advanced features like an aluminum build and vibration damper, and overall value, despite a slightly higher price. The hosts also discuss other potential choices available for different preferences, enhancing the viewers' understanding of the best options for motorcycle phone mounts.

In this segment of the video, the hosts compare three different phone mounting systems for motorcycles: the Quad Lock ($49.99), SP Connect ($69.99), and Peak Design ($99.95). They question if the extra cost for Peak Design is justified. The video transitions into an ad for AirAsia, promoting significant discounts on motorcycle insurance. Following this, the hosts begin testing the vibration resistance of the phone mounts using a phone app that measures vibration along the X, Y, and Z axes. The test starts with the Quad Lock case and demonstrates its performance under engine-induced vibrations. Further tests with different phone cases and mounting methods are conducted to compare results.

In this part of the video, the team addresses a comment from a previous video suggesting the use of an actual case to help with vibration issues, noticing an improvement in stabilization. They discuss the effectiveness of an SP Connect system in comparison to a quad lock, noting slight differences in vibration absorption, particularly in the X and Y axes but not in the Z-axis. They proceed with a test, where they race to attach and detach a dummy phone to assess the ease of use for different systems. The first participant achieves a time of 6.4 seconds, showcasing his speed and earning a humorous nickname.

In this part of the video, the speaker is having a light-hearted exchange with someone named Tim, discussing various subjects including a SP connect gadget and its Bluetooth feature. They also mention Peak Design products, specifically for camera use and perhaps for iPads. The speaker briefly promotes t-shirts available at a specific website, with some playful banter about a routine task involving a countdown. The conversation transitions into a challenge involving time, highlighting a friendly competition to achieve the quickest time, with mentions of using a “code lock” and the fairness of averaging their times.

In this segment of the video, participants are conducting a series of tests to evaluate the strength and durability of an adhesive used on a specific mount. Initially, they narrate a failed attempt as the adhesive wasn’t completely inserted. Following this, they prepare to conduct a “pull test,” where they reapply the adhesive to wood and pull to see what breaks under stress.
During the pull test, the mount’s plastic structure bends at 21 kg, similar to a previous test. The team discusses how the plastic gave in while the adhesive remained intact, highlighting the adhesive’s endurance. They then proceed with another test using an SP Connect, noting similar results with the mount failing before the adhesive. The overall consensus is that both tests showed comparable results, with the stress point around 21 kg for the mounts tested.
00:12:00
In this part of the video, the speaker tests the durability and performance of a product from Peak Design. They express initial excitement and curiosity about how it will perform under stress. The speaker performs a stress test by pulling on the item until it breaks, noting that despite significant damage, the product still functions to some extent. They draw a comparison to another product, the Quad Lock, and are impressed by the resilience displayed.
The final segment discusses the results of a vibration test, where the Peak Design product includes a vibration damper. Though the SP Connect product outperformed others, the Quad Lock product showed varied results across different axes, highlighting that vibration performance cannot be evaluated solely on numeric values. This leads to the conclusion that each product exhibits unique strengths in handling vibration.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses various phone case mounting solutions for bikes, focusing on their design elements and functionality. They highlight the Quad Lock phone case, noting its vibration damper which helps protect the phone camera, and its clean but somewhat frustrating design due to the need for precise alignment and twisting to secure the phone.
The speaker performs a speed test among different mounts, declaring Peak Design as the clear winner, followed by SP Connect. Peak Design is praised for its magnetic and physical locking mechanism, making it quick and easy to use, while SP Connect is noted for its simplicity and ease of use through a twist mechanism.
Despite using Quad Lock daily and appreciating its customizability, the speaker finds it cumbersome compared to the other two. They express particular admiration for the engineering behind these products, emphasizing how innovative solutions like those from Peak Design and SP Connect enhance user experience.
00:18:00
In this part of the video, the discussion centers around different phone mount designs, specifically favoring Peak Design for its ease of use and magnetic attachment. The speakers compare it with other brands, noting that although Peak Design might initially appear more expensive, the actual price difference is minimal when considering the features and materials, such as an aluminum build and a vibration damper. They conclude that for a slight price increase, Peak Design offers superior value. Additionally, they mention other options available on Carousel for those interested in different products.
