Vibration Dampener

The Vibration Dampener comes with the following:

• 1 x Vibration Dampener
• 1 x Allen (Hex) Key
• 1 x M5x12 Countersunk Screw (contained within Vibration Dampener)

The Quad Lock Vibration Dampener has been created in response to the increased sensitivity of new smartphone camera's image stabilisation modules and the impact that some motorcycle engines have on these modules.

Quad Lock recommends the use of our Vibration Dampener for additional confidence when mounting all smartphone brands and models to any motorcycle.

Apple have released a support article regarding exposure to high frequency vibrations that you can view here..

The Vibration Dampener protects your smartphone's camera from high frequency vibrations. The silicone grommets used absorb the vibrations and are specifically tuned to dampen at higher frequency vibrations (vibration danger zone), which is why you may notice more movement in the lower frequencies.

The Vibration Dampener is compatible with all Quad Lock Motorcycle Mounts, including the Weatherproof and Waterproof Charging Heads.*

For best performance, the Dampener should be installed as close to the phone as possible. The image below shows the preferred order in which to install the different Quad Lock items you have.

*Please note, if you wish to use the Moto USB charger with the vibration dampener, a knuckle adapter or extension arm will be required to complete the installation.

The Vibration Dampener is not a camera stabiliser so some movement is expected and is completely normal.

We have fine tuned and tested the design to ensure the product delivers the best results by being springy and absorptive to dampen vibrations but firm enough so your phone feels secure and easily removable using Quad Lock's twist and lock mechanism.

The Vibration Dampener will be effective in reducing harmful vibrations, however, riding with your smartphone camera while recording can increase the risk of damage even with the dampener installed due to the camera modules continuing to focus during recording.

We have designed our Vibration Dampener to be used specifically with motorcycle mounts to reduce the levels of high frequency vibrations that can affect the image stabilisation on new smartphones.

Currently this is only a known issue with some motorcycles, not bicycles.

It does however share the same connecting feature as our Stem Cap Cycle Mounts and the Out Front Mount Pro and can be attached to these mounts if desired for your bicycle.

The Vibration Dampener is designed to reduce high-frequency vibrations from the engines of motorcycles. As the Wireless Charging Head and MAG Wireless Charging Head are designed for indoor use only, we wouldn't recommend attaching them to your motorcycle.

If you're charging in your car, there's no need to combine with a dampener as the frequency of vibrations generated should not be putting your phone's camera at risk.
