Can you use the case as a mount to hold your phone and record your ride? (how stable is the mount?)

The phone is held very securely. You may also record your ride while the phone is locked in the case.

I honestly didn't use it to record and assume it had a window for the camera and would work good. It mounts quite solid and made a 1000 mile trip without issue. Good for the price for sure.

Yes I use this everytime I ride. It is very stable and holds the phone securely. I also got caught in a heavy downpour. Phone never got wet. I highly recommend it. I also use Digifit app to track my distance.

Yup. It's pretty stable. I've had it for over a year and it's still solid on my bike. I record my entire ride with the phone in it and its awesome!

It would likely make the device too heavy to work with your mount. The case itself seems to weigh as much as the naked phone.

Moving this from bike to bike depends on the handlebars that you have. If they are round you should be GTG. I have a road bike with flat bars so I had to modify it. The mount does work as long as you do not ride over any thing rough because the phone will fall out. I have an I phone with an otter box an that was the only thing that saved my phone from breaking. I ended up buying a Slip Grip holder for the phone I have with the Otter box that mounts to the stem, the phone has not fallen off in 1000 miles.

yes it's pretty steady for holding the phone itself. But whether is it shaky actually depend on your vents. My vents is pretty easy to go up and down, so when i mount it on the vent, the weight of the phone will lower the vent to the bottom. so it's not a perfect angle to view the GPS when drive. but it still can do its job.

Yes, it could hold the phone vertically if your tripod has a swivel head that can be turned to the vertical. But, I'd be very careful when mounting the phone that way.

Yes. I angled my mount upwards to shoot video but it vibrates too much to enjoy the video afterwards. That was mountain biking though without full suspension.

I am sure there would be no problem. Just returned from a motorcycle trip of 2000 miles.just be careful removing phone. Not to lose the rubber holders. It held my galaxy s 5 well

The suction cup holder does great. The flexible mount does well in a stable setting but would be all over the place in a mobile situation.

Arthur, I had one of these mounted on the rear view mirror arm on my motorcycle. Although it is a fairly tight grip...I wouldn't rely on it, as my phone vibrated off on an uneven stretch of road one day and took a tumble along the freeway and was smashed to smitherines. I don't feel it's strong enough for the use of a motorcycle IMO. Hope that helps!

Define "Bike Ride". Even on the flat and calm ride I would not trust the grip by itself... I imagine a couple of small bumps could knock it loose. Search Amazon for "iphone bike mount" and you will probably find dozens of better options. Good luck!

ABSOLUTELY...you'll have to mount it on something though. It's not really meant for holding, though I guess you could. This is great for hands free videoing.

Check dimensions of Iphone 5 to 5C.... This mount/case is not very stable (very shaky) when used for auto racing. Also the touchscreen portions bows-out when the case get hot and makes navigating on the screen pretty difficult. I am not sure your application or if you will have these issues......

Basically...but the rubber,friction, and ball detent within the mount have actually held my large HTC One on the handlebar of my road race bike for about 1000 miles. It shakes modestly when I get over 30 mph and fly over rough roads but I have yet to loose it. (But I also use an Otterbox Defender) (I am totally satisfied with this item and would highly recommend it).

I use mine for a Note2 in a UAG case which is similar to the Commuter case in bulk. It sits very stable.

It only holds phones in the landscape position. That's why I find the gorilla tripod to be so useful, even the top mount rotates in all directions. If you need additional height, wrap it around something else, or as I do, another tripod :) I did look, but never saw anything that held a phone in both positions - at least not in this price range!

It will stay in a fixed position. However, depending on the way you mount it (handlebar) it can face forward in order to record. I don't know if that would be awkward or not. The iPhone case is detachable from the mount. Hope this helps.

Since it's a monopod and you have to hold it somewhere to keep it steady, you might as well hold on to the camera anyway. But I would not carry it with the camera screwed on - seems risky.
