nope, but that's a cool idea if it works properly!

I've been looking for something like this.  Looks pretty good. Thanks.

I saw someone with one in the UK. He had it mounted to the gas tank of a CBR so it would record video through the windshield. It looked good. Keep in mind it is intended for still and video recording. My experience with iPhone recording is that it struggles with vibration and fast moving riding on either bicycles and/or motorcycles.

I'm not saying it isn't usable but Go-pros and the Drift Ghost has noticeabley better quality video. My own iphone video on the motorcycle looks like the video is struggling to keep up with the movement.

Similar experience as Texfoto...  Using my Ram mount, I tried to video and it was struggling to focus and the vibrations/waves were nauseating.

I switch out the phones every other year so I've been reluctant to invest in a heavy duty (expensive) case.  The phones cost me 0 (when I sell the old one I recuperate 95-100% of the cost) and I think, in another generation or two, they'll have the video recording down to near or at GoPro levels.  They are constantly improving the cameras, GPS, etc.

Maybe  next   year  the  year  for  Iphone  video  with  no  focus  problems  and  cable  TV  streaming  live ...

I think the iiPhone could hang on with better quality from the chest mount, than from a solid Ram mount on the top triple.  There's a LOT of vibe there, and it's also trying to focus through the clear windshield.

I don't actually have a chest mount, just seems like a logical idea...

Can't beat quality cases, but there's hundreds of Chinese models that are also waterproof for $12.00 up.
