Alternative to Quadlock?

Heading away to Spain in a couple of weeks and taking my road bike. Id like to mount my phone to bars to use for navigation but don’t fancy spending £55 for quad lock as it’s such occasional use. Are there any viable cheaper alternatives? I have Moon light that has a generic twist lock mount, is there a way to use this? iPhone 15 pro max device.

cheers

you can get stick on garmin mounts. no idea how durable they are

KOM Cycling Universal Phone Adapter Attach Your Smartphone to Any Garmin Bike Mount – for use with Garmin Phone Mount Adhesive Adapter

Only other decent alternative I can think of is Mous – but you’ll spend a similar amount by the time you’ve bought a case and bike mount, and the bike mount is bigger and more cumbersome than Quadlock.

Re: quad lock – you don’t need to buy a case, you can get a universal mount gubbins to stick to your existing phone case

Loads on marketplace for very little money. I picked one up (case, mount and waterproof pouch thing for about £20) for when the bikes on the turbo, works fine, case is good.

I used to use a stick on Garmin mount on a tough rigid phone case and it was fine. Stick it on with a 3m go pro mount I think.

I’ve got this. Bought it on a whim for my old city bike. It’s now on my gravel bike.

Works fine. Only thing I would say is that it’s better if you have a case on your phone.

OSOPRO. Think its a Taiwanese company? There are also knock offs motowolf (and others) that are pretty damn close and work fine. Only osopro uses the genuine 3m pad, all the others its something less good, if your phone is heavy, scrape it off and fit real 3m pad.

On motorbike use I  this guy https://gsports.vn/mua/bo-khoa-kep-da-nang-chong-rung-osopro-lku121/

Phone is heavy, like 250g big fat 2024 brick of a phone, bikes been crashed, crashed into, ridden offroad extensively, phone is attached with a genuine 3m pad (included) to a normal case, never budged, even in 45c heat + strong sunlight and then crashed into various terrain. RECOMMEND.

But for MTB maybe tad too heavy. They do also have just the bracket and you can stick that on some normal bars, 31.8, won’t go to the 35 standard though as you don’t see that big in motorbikes, only dirt bikes, who puts a phone o on a dirt bike?

I recently tried this last week – so far I’m around 50 off road miles in with no issues.

Standard sticky Garmin mount, cheap flat backed case. I use the standard, two o-ring, Garmin mount to my toptube rather than bars.

I came on to suggest using a stem mount for a stick on Garmin mount. I’ve got one that I used on an out front mount of Zwift but am not sure tht I’d trust it without more support under my phone outside.
