Absorbs  vibrations

Test protocol

As good scientists, we'll explain how we managed to prove that our motorcycle mount prevented damage to your phone's optical stabilizer (camera) by absorbing engine and road vibrations better than its direct competitors.

Required materials:

- Shapeheart XL motorcycle mount
- Rigid motorcycle mount from a competitor
- Handlebar
- Smartphone: OnePlus 6Pro
- App: Physic Toolbox Suite (to retrieve accelerometer data)
- Subwoofer
- https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/ to generate a 40Hz frequency

All that's left is to put the phone in one of the setups, secure the handlebar on the subwoofer, start the recording, and crank up the sound :)

Result

On average and across all accelerometer axes, we calculated the power transmitted by vibrations to the phone (RMS = Root Mean Square, or effective value).

Conclusion: across all axes, the Shapeheart mount absorbs motor vibrations compared to a rigid mount by 47% on average.

A Shapeheart mount will absorb half of the vibrations emitted by the engine from your motorcycle to your phone.

These vibrations are what cause the degradation of the optical/electronic components that serve for taking photos on a phone.

Explanations

All the components are made to absorb vibrations, unlike a mount with a rigid connection. It's like your phone is directly connected to your motorcycle's engine.

The differences in the Shapeheart motorcycle mount:

The fabric sleeve(vs a hard case) The silicone attachment(vs a metal/plastic attachment) The dock base, which is made of silicone(vs a plastic/metal adapter)

We often get asked if the Shapeheart phone holder could damage the smartphone's stabilizer.
So, we decided to answer this in a new article available right here.

Note! Unlike our sleevees, the adhesive metal plate does not fully protect against motor and road vibrations. The two-wheel vehicles listed on the product page may damage your smartphone’s optical stabilizer due to vibrations.
