looking for suggestions for a handlebar phone (for taking pictures) mount that won't drop my phone...
It would be nice if the position can swivel a little to adjust for picture/video
taking.

 

To take selfies, or generally face forward? Ram mount would probably be the easiest to make something work, ut I'm sure there's other stuff out there that's not as expensive.

 

I have used a Ram Mounts X-Grip and a handlebar mount with an iPhone 7. It can be positioned in any orientation fairly easily. Make sure you get the rubber tether to hold it though as I wouldn't trust it without that.

 

Facing forward

 

I use the same mount with a Samsung Note 5 which is also a large phone.

12k miles in all conditions and work d GREAT.

 

Thanks. Looks like the RamX is the holder to have BUT, I have to hold off as I don't know what the size of the New Iphone 8 will be.

 

Yip, definitely the RamX mount... I wouldn't worry about the size of the iPhone8 though... surely couldn't be much bigger. The RamX mount opens up pretty big. The rubber grip also has some good stretch. If someone here can confirm the iPhone7Plus can fit you shouldn't have a problem.

 

Yes, I use the Ram Mounts X with my iPhone 7 Plus all of the time. It's great!

 

Ok so the 7 and 7 + fit ?

 

I have one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/RV127-Arkon-...YAAOSwKtVWxljr
Holds phone tight. They also have a newer version which has a wider range of movement.
