Can I change the orientation of my smartphone on the Handlebar Mount?Updated 6 hours ago
Yes. The SP Connect Handlebar Mount allows you to switch your smartphone between portrait and landscape orientation.
To change the orientation, simply rotate the mounting head of the Handlebar Mount by 90° and securely fasten it in the desired position.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Loosen the mounting head: Use the included Allen key to loosen the screw securing the mounting head.
- Adjust the orientation: Rotate the mounting head by 90° to switch between portrait and landscape orientation.
- Secure the mounting head: Tighten the screw again to ensure the mounting head is firmly secured in its new position.
Check the Installation
After adjusting the mounting head, please check the following:
- Ensure that the mounting head is securely attached and cannot rotate unintentionally.
- Attach your smartphone using a compatible SP Connect Phone Case or a suitable SP Connect universal mounting solution.
- Verify that your smartphone is correctly positioned in the desired portrait or landscape orientation.
- Before every ride, check that the Handlebar Mount, mounting head, and smartphone are securely attached.
Important: Changing Orientation vs. Twist-to-Lock
Please note that adjusting your smartphone's orientation is different from attaching or removing it using the SP Connect Twist-to-Lock mechanism.
The 90° Twist-to-Lock rotation is used exclusively to lock or unlock your smartphone from the mounting head. It does not change the final portrait or landscape orientation of your smartphone.
To change the orientation, you must adjust the position of the mounting head itself as described above.

Summary

To switch between them, loosen the mounting head, rotate it by 90°, and securely tighten the screw again.
Remember that the Twist-to-Lock rotation is only used to attach or remove your smartphone and does not adjust its orientation on the mount.
