Test of the Oso bicycle smartphone holder: the cyclomount

Supports for
fixing an iPhone in the car are numerous and varied, we were able to discover some
in this
file in particular. On the other hand, when it comes to taking it for a walk
bike, the offer is much less extensive. We were nevertheless able
test the support offered by Quadlock here. It is sold in
several versions adapted to different generations of smartphones
ici.

For those looking for a solutionless expensive,
here is a new possibility: theCyclomount of the brand
Very(already seen in our columns through its auto supports).

This one is universal, can accommodate various smartphones in terms of
brand and size, and uses the principle of the easily adjustable pliers,
matched for security with an astonishing elastic fastening.

The oso cyclo mount is on sale here

We were able to test it, here are photos, the assembly and our opinion:

No surprises upon reception, the support clearly displays its affiliation
with its automotive counterparts such asthe one tested
recently here. The black plastic and the pliers are thick and quality, the
molding and assembly are not open to criticism.

The bracket comes with rubber parts, a screw and a wrench
for mounting on handlebars.

We find the part allowing it to be fixed on the handlebars, the clamp which goes
accommodate the smartphone. But a funny spider web worthy of Superman
accompanies the whole. She can surprise, we will see that it is she who
ensures the safety of the machine during outings:

Close-up on the part which is used for fixing on the handlebars, of the classic,
in the background, an articulated part will allow you to adjust the position of the support
and the iPhone facing the cyclist:

The clamp is adjustable in width on the left part, in addition to having a
spring mechanism on the right side. This makes it possible to adapt to
very large smartphones (we will see this later):

Parts used to adjust to different handlebar sizes:

In our case it took 3:

Mounting the bracket on the handlebar

The installation is then carried out as for any bicycle accessory, not
more complicated than mounting a doorbell:

A few turns of the key (provided) later, and it's in place:

Utilisation

The iPhone can then be installed, the clamp with spring holding it
firmly (the width is adjustable):

But to ensure a very effective hold, Superman's spider web
jams each corner of the iPhone, so it will not slide towards the
low due to vibration or risk falling. The installation is done very
easily:

Side view:

Whether it's an iPhone 6, a 5s or an iPhone 6 Plus, everything goes without any
issue :

Despite the imposing size of the whole, the test of maintaining a
iPhone 6 Pluswith
a Lifeproof caseis also conclusive:

Once set up, during tests on the road or path, the machine is
remained well fixed, readable without problem because it can be rotated, this in portrait as
in landscape.

Finally, we retain a practical aspect: it is possible to unscrew the
support to simply remove it at the level of the ball joint which is used for adjustment
of inclination. Practical for not leaving it accessible to those who
might have wanted to borrow it. Here is what then remains on the
cadre :

Conclusion

In the end, a solution that surprises at first glance with its part
elastic which hangs strangely, but formidable in its effectiveness. Easy to
set up, the support is also very practical to use. Better, he
remains adjustable in terms of orientation at any time (the wheel allows you to
adjust the hardness) and it is universal! No need to change it when
we buy a new smartphone. Finally, it must also be emphasized that the
cost is very reasonableless than 20 euros.

No doubt, we recommend!
