Lol $3.49 here after a 10-second search https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Universal-Motorcycle-Bike-Bicycl…
$4.65 shipped locally https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Motorcycle-Bicycle-MTB-Bike-Hand…
Didn't bother searching further.
Both of those are shipped from outside of Australia, have a look at the user registration country ;)
Does not look secure enough to hold and expensive glass-screened device on a bicycle.
It is going to shake like mad too.
Maybe a motorbike, if you are brave. But then if you ride a motorbike, you relish living dangerously :-)
I wouldn't recommend Mountain biking with this mount, city commuting on the other hand, all good.
if you are looking at your phone when riding,
it could an accident waiting to happen
Well it could be for navigation, or fitness app tracking to be fair. Not that I would use it.
Exactly, it's for use with something like strava that will display your speed, moving time, elevation etc. Like the speedometer of a car. Would have to not be a big fan of your phone to use this.
No more dangerous than any GPS navigation and looking at motorcycle speedo.
Obviously reading and watching movies would be stupid.
I have this mount. I wouldn't trust my broken 15 year old ipod on it.
I use something similar on my pushie, it works very well. Wouldn't use it with an expensive phone but my mighty Nokia 1 copes no probs.
If shipping was free, maybe…
any decent recs then? from user experience that would be better than this?
I've been using this model directly as my stem cap for a while:

It works well and is robust. Last time it was cheaper on Ebay if you can be bothered finding those pricing anomalies.
Stupid idea, it would last 5 minutes on your bike. about 4 minutes longer than your phone.
I looked for something like this for ages as I wanted to use it as a phone holder on a pram as the pram phone holders wouldn't turn sideways into landscape mode. This should also be advertised as a pram phone holder !
That's a great suggestion! I'm going to do that :)
So roughly $12 shipped to any city except Melbourne? That's more expensive than ebay (if it's free shipping).
