I’ve been testing the Elastic Small Q Handlebar Mount for the past few weeks, putting it through its paces on my bicycle, scooter, and even attaching it to a stroller for some unique perspectives. This versatile mount promises compatibility with a wide range of action cameras, including GoPro, DJI Osmo Action, and Insta360 cameras, and boasts a unique design focusing on flexibility and stability.

The standout feature of this mount is its high-elastic silicone construction. This material allows for a surprisingly secure grip on various handlebar sizes and shapes. The dual-hole design further enhances its versatility, providing options for different mounting positions. The simple latch and release mechanism is incredibly easy to use, a huge plus for quick adjustments on the go. The 360° horizontal rotation and 180° tilt provide ample flexibility for finding the perfect shooting angle. The metal core adds a surprising level of stability and shock absorption, even on bumpy roads. While the provided instructions were simple, I found the installation process intuitive and easy even without them.

I tested the mount extensively during various activities. On my bike, the mount held firm even during aggressive maneuvers and rough terrain. The shock absorption was noticeably better than some cheaper mounts I’ve used, resulting in noticeably less camera shake in my footage. On the scooter, the mount proved equally stable. Attaching it to the stroller’s handle proved to be a somewhat less secure experience as the pole was significantly thinner, however, no detachment occurred.

The ease of use was a constant highlight. Switching between devices and adjusting angles was quick and straightforward. The mount’s lightweight design didn’t add any significant bulk or weight to my equipment. The only minor downside was a slightly reduced degree of freedom due to the compact nature of the mount, but this is a fair tradeoff in my view for enhanced stability.

Pros:

• Easy installation and removal.
• Excellent shock absorption.
• Versatile design fits various handlebar sizes and shapes.
• Wide range of angle adjustments.
• Lightweight and durable.
• Good value for money.

Cons:

• Slightly limited adjustability due to compact design.
• May not be suitable for all surfaces (thinner poles).

Overall, I’m very impressed with the Elastic Small Q Handlebar Mount. Its ease of use, stability, and versatile design make it an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable and affordable action camera mount. The shock absorption is a significant plus, delivering smoother footage. While it might not be ideal for all applications, specifically those with exceptionally thin mounting surfaces, it’s a top performer for cycling, scooters, and similar uses. I highly recommend this product.
