Can I use my smartphone in portrait and landscape orientation with the Micro Bike Mount?Updated 14 hours ago

Yes. The SP Connect Micro Bike Mount allows you to use your smartphone in both portrait (vertical) and landscape (horizontal) orientation.

Unlike mounts with an integrated rotating head, the Micro Bike Mount uses a fixed SPC+ mounting head. The smartphone's orientation is therefore determined by the position in which the mounting head is installed.

Portrait and Landscape Orientation

• Portrait orientation: Ideal for navigation applications, route guidance and everyday smartphone use.
• Landscape orientation: Particularly useful for navigation applications or other functions that benefit from a wider screen layout.

How to Change the Smartphone Orientation

To switch between portrait and landscape orientation, you need to adjust the position of the Micro Bike Mount's mounting head.

1. Remove your smartphone: Unlock your smartphone by rotating it 90° and remove it from the mount.
2. Loosen the mounting head: Use the appropriate Allen key to loosen the screw securing the mounting head.
3. Adjust the orientation: Reposition the mounting head by 90° to achieve your preferred smartphone orientation.
4. Secure the mounting head: Retighten the screw and ensure that the mounting head is firmly secured.
5. Reattach your smartphone: Position your compatible SP Connect Phone Case on the mounting head and rotate it 90° to engage the Twist-to-Lock mechanism.

Important Information

• The Micro Bike Mount does not feature an integrated rotation mechanism for switching between portrait and landscape orientation while your smartphone is attached.
• Changing the orientation requires manually repositioning the mounting head.
• Always remove your smartphone before adjusting the mounting head.
• Ensure that all screws are securely tightened before riding.
• Always verify that your smartphone is properly locked into the SPC+ mounting mechanism.

Summary

The SP Connect Micro Bike Mount supports both portrait and landscape smartphone orientation.

However, unlike the Universal Mount, it does not feature a spring-loaded rotating head. To change the smartphone's orientation, the mounting head must be manually repositioned by 90° using an Allen key.

Once the mounting head is securely fastened in the desired position, your smartphone can be attached using the standard 90° SPC+ Twist-to-Lock mechanism.
