What are the benefits of using the Charging Anti Vibration Module on a bicycle?Updated 4 months ago

The SP-Connect Charging Anti Vibration Module was originally developed for motorcycle use. Its primary purpose is to protect sensitive smartphone components – especially camera systems with optical image stabilization (OIS) – from potentially harmful engine vibrations.


Is the Charging Anti Vibration Module necessary on a bicycle?

Based on our current knowledge, the typical shocks and vibrations encountered while cycling do not cause the same type of camera damage that can occur under certain conditions on motorcycles.

For this reason, the Charging Anti Vibration Module is generally not required on a bicycle to protect your smartphone camera from vibration-related damage.


Why do many riders still use it on a bicycle?

Many customers, especially those riding mountain bikes, gravel bikes, or off-road trails, choose to use the Charging Anti Vibration Module for the additional features it offers.

  • Additional damping on rough terrain
  • Wireless charging while riding
  • Faster and easier phone attachment thanks to the integrated Mag-Align system
  • Combination of vibration damping and wireless charging in a single product

If you do not require wireless charging and are simply looking for additional damping on demanding terrain, the SP-Connect Anti Vibration Module may be a suitable alternative.


Summary

The Charging Anti Vibration Module was originally developed for motorcycles to help protect smartphones from potentially harmful engine vibrations. On bicycles, this level of protection is generally not required. However, many riders use the module for additional damping on rough terrain while also benefiting from wireless charging and the convenience of the integrated Mag-Align system.
