For the rest of this page: Whether something is available or not such as an induction module: The specifications below are as of 2024-8-5.

Mounts with available vibration dampers:

Vibrations can damage camera stabilisation systems on mobile phones, in particular with motorcycles but with bicycles it happens too. Therefore a non-rigid attachment is what I require for anywhere but the Netherlands. The first step was using a silicone mount in Poland and the movement of the phone while riding on cobble stones in Wroclaw (Poland) showed that it worked. After that I started looking for other options.

• SKS compit: no
• Oxford Cliqr: no
• Interphone quiklox: yes [ price: mount EUR 35 + glue-on EUR 10 + damper EUR 13 = EUR 58 ]
• SP connect: yes [ price: EUR 40 (I saw 32 minimum) out front mount bicycle, EUR 25 anti-vibration, EUR 25 SPC+ glue on (I saw 20 minimum) = EUR 90, minimum EUR 77,
  [ fake SP connect on aliexpress: EUR 17 (mount+ glue on) + EUR 13 (damper) = EUR 30, only the older SPC mount with straight ridges, not the round SPC+ mount ]
• Quad lock: yes [ price: mount + glue-on: EUR 55 + damper: EUR 22 = EUR 77 ],
  [ fake quadlock : EUR 10 ]
• Peak design: no, though some damping built-in
• Mous: built-in with the motorcycle mount (EUR 90), not with the bicycle mount (EUR 35) (price: motorcycle mount/damper EUR 90 + glue-on EUR 12 = EUR 102 )
• Fidlock: no
• sincetop: series Q (aliexpress): yes [ EUR 30 for mount + glue on + damper ]

For a mount with damper there is the choice of Quiklox, SP connect, Quadlock, Mous, series Q, and the fakes on aliexpress of SP connect and Quadlock. Perhaps Peak design's damping is good enough, add that to the list?

Wireless charging, while riding:

The point of wireless charging is that that works while it rains and you can forget to plug in the charging cable which caused me to not charge the phone for long sections after taking some pictures on my rides in Ukraine. When the mount is also for wireless charging you always charge automatically when you put the phone back onto the mount. Downside is lower efficiency compared to charging with a cable.

• SKS compit: yes with the powerbank that you can buy that clicks between mount and phone
• Oxford Cliqr: no
• Interphone quiklox: no
• SP connect: yes, needs phone specific case, not stick on? [ Price: charging+anti-vibration module in one: $100... (separate: anti-vibration $30, induction charging $70): https://sp-connect.com/products/anti-vibration-module , Total cost: EUR 40 + 100 + 25 = EUR 165 ]
• quad lock: yes [ Price: standard EUR 55 + EUR 60 (charge) + EUR 25 (damper) = EUR 140, MAG version: EUR 60 + EUR 80 (mag charge) + EUR 25 = EUR 165 ],
  [ fake quadlock: no induction charge module available, you could use the real quadlock one, total price: EUR 60 + EUR 10 = EUR 70 ]
• Peak design: no
• Mous: no
• Fidlock: no
• sincetop: series Q (aliexpress): no

For a mount with available damper + induction charger there are just 2 options as of 2024-7-20: Quadlock and SP connect.

Problems that were mentioned in videos/on websites or that I experienced:

SP connect: mount can get stuck when not properly rotated, need to use a tool or coin to rotate it into the initial position.

Quadlock: In videos and my own experience: Ease of use: It is a hassle to put the phone onto the mount while riding, which is needed when using the phone to make pictures. I often had to stop to get the phone back on. With Quiklox this is much easier.

Quicklox: I used it since summer 2024: The mount uses a rotating section and I experienced a few times that it got into the wrong position when taking off the phone. You then need to push down the lock mechanism, rotate the lower section so that it lines up with the upper section, then you can install the phone again.
