Mounting an iPhone (11 Pro) to a bike handlebar

How do vibrations impact the camera when mounting the iPhone on a gravel bike or mountain bike handle bar riding through rocky terrain? Is it the same as the motorbike vibrations? Obviously it doesn’t have the same “vibration pattern”, but I doubt that gravel and rock vibrations are good for the iPhone camera?


thanks!

I'm not sure if the vibrations from a bicycle would be bad enough to be an issue, but yes, it can cause damage:

Yes, the affects will be similar. Unlike a GoPro camera (for example), vibration-resistance is somewhat limited with the iPhones. Personally, I haven't heard of anyone stating that their iPhone's camera was damaged by doing so, but that certainly doesn't mean that it should be done ... even if the vibrations are at a lower frequency ... they could be more "jarring."
