I design test rigs and torture two‑wheel mounts over rough pavement to quantify grip, resonance, and camera risk so riders don’t learn the hard way.

Ride stability and camera protection are non‑negotiable; aesthetics and novelty come after retention and resonance control.

On a winter commute, a hidden pothole snapped my bar clamp and sent my phone skittering into traffic. I recovered the case, not the camera module. The next weekend I built a shaker rig from scrap steel and accelerometers. That loss became my baseline for ride-proof testing.

I favor mounts with proven isolation, high retention force, and redundant locks over slim designs.
