Digital camera reviews of Magellan 702211 Bike Mounting Bracket
Digital camera Review: A piece of plastic garbage.
Summary: 2 Stars
In my opinion, this thing is rather poorly designed. The tab on top that snaps into the device's lanyard loop is held in place by two very thin pieces of plastic that are prone to bending and snapping if even a small amount of force is applied to them. This is especially problematic if you have a bike with flat bars, drop bars, or with riser bars that don't have enough of a bend to clear the top of the holder when working on the bike upside down. It requires you to loosen it so you can swivel it out of the way, and then reposition and re-tighten it, which can be quite inconvenient for repairs on the go, or when you're on a schedule. It is also easily broken if you are involved in even a slow speed accident in which you are pitched over the bars.
This purchase was the second time I'm replacing it, and if it weren't for the fact that it's dangerous to try and read a GPS in one hand while riding, I would have given up on it a long time ago.
This thing is only worth buying if you can't find any other way to securely mount the GPS unit to your handlebars, which was the case with my bike. Otherwise, my suggestion is that you use any other method possible.
