Can I change the orientation of my smartphone on the Handlebar Mount Pro?Updated 20 hours ago
Yes. The SP Connect Handlebar Mount Pro allows you to position your smartphone in either portrait or landscape orientation.
To change the orientation, simply adjust the mounting head by 90° and securely fasten it in the desired position.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Remove your smartphone: Detach your smartphone from the Handlebar Mount Pro before making any adjustments.
- Loosen the mounting head: Use the appropriate 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 according to the installation instructions to ensure the mounting head is firmly secured.
Check the Installation
After adjusting the mounting head, please check the following:
- Ensure 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 Pro, 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 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
The SP Connect Handlebar Mount Pro supports both portrait and landscape orientation.
To switch between them, remove your smartphone, loosen the mounting head, rotate it by 90°, and securely tighten the screw again.
