SP CONNECT Bike Bundle II Universal Clamp

Product Information

Disappointingly, the SP Connect Charging Suction Mount does not come with a USB adaptor. As many cars now have USB outlets, I guess it’s not an issue for a lot of people, but do budget for a good-quality QC 3.0 one if you have an older motor like me. We have had reported issues with all brands we make phone cases for. However, other than with Apple, there have been too few issues with the other brands to name any model or brand as being at risk. No, a pattern cannot be discerned. The reported cases were a broad mix of makes and models – models that occurred more frequently corresponded to the quantity of respective motorbikes on the market. Furthermore, there is no difference between the type of engine. The maximum acceleration occurring is reduced across the entire spectrum. This means that the peak values of all vibration frequencies are reduced, not only in the range of 30-60Hz.

The new SPC+ design might be a little more fiddly to attach, but try as I might, I can’t get it to attach anything other than totally securely. It’s slimmer, stronger and MagSafe compatible, but most importantly, the new SPC+ is much more secure. Based purely on anecdotal evidence, I’ve long had a theory that it’s mainly Apple devices that have a problem with vibration on bikes, but when I bought my Pixel 7 Pro I was worried about the telephoto lens, which rattles when you shake it. I’m pleased to say though that after several months on my R1250GS (using the Anti-Vibration Charging Mount), I’ve had no problems at all, and my S21 (and previous S20) were mounted direct to various bikes without any issue other than that day on a W800. I really can’t stress enough just how much slimmer the SP Connect SPC+ case feels, and I should point out too that the buttons are very easy to press still, thanks to slots cut around them that help them move easily – a pricey ZAGG case I had before was much more intrusive thanks to a less considered design.

QUICK & SECURE SMARTPHONE MOUNTING

With two different length straps and a very effective grip thanks to a silicone band bonded to the rear of the straps, the Universal Mount could be ideal for swapping between motorcycles, and for using on the push-bike – it’ll fit on anything between 20mm and 90mm in diameter, so there’s plenty of versatility. The SP Connect Charging Anti Vibration Module includes the company’s vibration damping system (details below), and is made from machined aluminium that’s well sealed against the weather. The new case design is noticeably slimmer, and comparing the Samsung Galaxy S21 SPC case with the new SPC+, it’s obvious how much more compact it is. Fitting an SP Connect SPC+ mount to your bike will vary depending on which you’ve bought, but generally it’s a simple process that just requires one or two Allen keys (which aren’t supplied in all the kits). Is it the bike’s engine vibration that’s causing the issue when it happens, or vibration from the road?

A significant difference between most Samsung and Apple devices is that the OIS in Samsung devices is deactivated when the camera is not being used, whereas the OIS in Apple devices is always activated.After using SP Connect for almost four years on a very wide variety of bikes, the only time I had an issue was after mounting my Galaxy S20 directly to the bars of a Kawasaki W800 using the Universal Mount. When I stopped to take a picture, the camera was shaking continuously and couldn’t settle but after restarting the phone it was cured. When fitting you’ll need to decide whether you want to have your phone in a horizontal or vertical position, as apart from on the universal mount, you can’t change it without unscrewing it due to the way the phone attaches with a 90° twist. Most of the mounts have adjustment in 6° increments, so you should be able to get your phone to sit straight to most parts of the bike. This happened because, with the previous SPC mount design, it was possible to locate only one of the lugs when fitting. If you didn’t realise, the phone could shake loose, so it was important to take care when fitting your phone. Mous has also developed a range of motorcycle mounts to suit its cases, though options are rather limited for now, and prices seem to be on the high side.
