Not only a bike mount for GPS, but also video!
Did you know that despite the hundreds of junk-e phone holders out there, there's a bike mount for your iPhone 6 that let's you take sweet action footage? Well, obviously after that first sentence you now know. So this mount, called the Velocity Clip takes any smartphone in the entire world, and turns it into a first person POV action mount. That basically means instead of buying an action camera, you can just use your phone. Already have an action camera? Consider that this mount is for the everyday user who just wants a few minutes of quick footage to send his buddies, or the mountain bike rider who just wants 10 minutes worth of action footage on the new trail they discovered. It's just a bit overkill in these situations to have a expensive action camera on hand, also inconvenient. Running to a computer to dump your new footage is kind of a hassle. Your iPhone 6 plus already has a 4g connection ready to upload your videos in seconds. Sweet deal right? Anyways, it's a price quality and quality trade off. Sure, you probably shouldn't do back flips with your dirt bike with your iPhone 6 plus, that's a better task for a professional action camera. But if you're doing moderate activities, for $39.95 you can't go wrong.
Mount it up! So onto the directional... Three simple steps:
2. Clip the entire iPhone 6 plus and Velocity Clip combination into the bike handlebar mount. The bike handlebar mount is a double rubber grip double locking screw mount, so once you put it on, there's no need to take it off. You simply click this modular design in and out.
3. Once it's all mounted up, you actually get to choose which angle to film from. Get a up or down view, film forward and backward, or just angle this bad boy down so you can get GPS navigation or heck, just watch TV while you're riding your bike! Disregard that last one.
4. Once the angle has been chosen, start getting some cool action videos. Check out the Velocity Clip YouTube channel if you want to see some cool filming ideas.
