Vibration absorption
Test protocol
As good scientists, we detail here why we managed to prove that our Motorcycle Stand for motorcycles prevented damage to your optical stabilizer (phone camera) by absorbing engine and road vibrations better than its direct competitors.

Equipment needed:
- Shapeheart XL Motorcycle Stand
- Rigid motorcycle mount from a competing brand
- Handlebar
- Smartphone: OnePlus 6Pro
- App: Physic Toolbox Suite (to collect accelerometer data)
- Subwoofer
- https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/ to generate a 40Hz frequency
All that's left is to put the phone in one of the setups, fix the handlebar to the subwoofer, start recording and turn the sound up to full :)
Result
On average and across all axes of the accelerometer, we calculated the power transmitted by vibrations to the phone (RMS = Root Mean Square, or effective value).
Conclusion: across all axes, the Shapeheart mount absorbs engine vibrations compared to a rigid mount by 47% on average.
A Shapeheart mount will absorb half of the vibrations emitted by your motorcycle's engine toward your phone.
These vibrations are what cause the degradation of the optical/electronic components used for taking photos on a phone.
Instructions
Well, all the components are designed to absorb vibrations, unlike a mount where the connection is rigid. It's as if your phone were directly connected to your motorcycle's engine.
The differences of the Shapeheart Motorcycle Stand:
The textile Sleeve(vs a rigid case)The silicone strap(vs a metal / plastic strap)The dock base which is made of silicone(vs a plastic / metal adapter)
We are also very frequently asked whether the Shapeheart phone mount will damage the smartphone's stabiliser.
So we decided to answer that in a new article available right here.
Warning! Unlike our Sleeves, the adhesive metal plate does not fully protect against engine and road vibrations. The 2-wheelers listed on the product page may damage your smartphone's optical image stabiliser through vibrations.
