Would I be able to lift the iphone up to record when I ride using the rear facing camera or does it remain in its fixed flat position?

It will stay in a fixed position. However, depending on the way you mount it (handlebar) it can face forward in order to record. I don't know if that would be awkward or not. The iPhone case is detachable from the mount. Hope this helps.

You can sort of rotate the case, like from portrait to landscape, but not change the general angle of the mount once it is in place. You could mount the phone vertically (so that the camera is facing forward) but then you wouldn't be able to see the screen. It does come off the mount pretty easily, but I think you would have to be stopped and use two hands.

Fixed flat position, unless you take it out of the case, which is problematic if you have headphones in.

Hi Joe, the camera would be fixed at the end. The angle of the camera will change as you adjust position but it does not slide relative to its position on the jib.

I am sorry I had previously said No you can not turn your phone sideways to capture widescreen. But I was wrong you can mount it landscape or portrait. I hope this helps

No, I just tried it. As soon as the iPhone camera starts recording it stops the recording in the Rode app. You need to shoot your video on a separate device.

To answer your question honestly, Yes it will...I tried to angle my iPod touch at a downward angle to record a YouTube tutorial and it did tip over...

I have attached my flip and my handheld camera and they both hold very nicely; logically, when I mount this on my dash, the movement of the car reflects in the video. I recommend the product. Unless you attach your device to a chicken's head (seriously look it up), there will be some slight movement.

Define "Bike Ride". Even on the flat and calm ride I would not trust the grip by itself... I imagine a couple of small bumps could knock it loose. Search Amazon for "iphone bike mount" and you will probably find dozens of better options. Good luck!

if you attached it to a video head you can tilt the head and it will angle the camera up or down.

Yes, the iPad camera lens is exposed as the stand was designed so it would not interfere with that. We actually used it like a dash-cam while traveling and the photos/video was wonderful, the only down side being that bumps and vibrations from driving did cause the unit to move a bit.

No. You have to position and manually move it urself. But it does capture a good amount of footage when placed in a good spot.

Yes as steady as your hand can be held, the camera (iPhone) can adjust. Just be sure you can keep it centered on your target being filmed.

Not naturally... You could do it if you had some sort of attachment to the iPhone giving it a female screw mount (like many digital cameras -- http://goo.gl/gSWYn). That or you can rig something up with tape.

Not without an adapter of some sort. It has the standard screw like any tripod. I searched Amazon and saw several tripod mounts for iPhones however if you actually saw this device you would see how awkward it would be such a set up. I also think the weight of the phone would cause it to spin around upside down.

Only to the extent that obviously you cannot flip it around and tilt all the way down and face it to the front of the camera. Other than that it does not interfere.

Maybe w the front camera, but definitely not w the rear. You may want to take it out first.

It's only akward taking a picture of yourself with the rear facing camera. With the phone having a front facing camera it doesn't pose many problems and you definitely don't have to take it out of the case.

Mine always records and stops recording when my vehicle is bumped. Haven't had any issues with the battery being drained whatsoever. This camera only records the front view-not inside the vehicle. You don't have to delete videos at all- continually records until it is stopped and saves it so it doesn't record over what was saved. Don't listen to that Vagan deusche- he probably forgot to turn it on and it's not meant for bicycles....... The camera mirror has a 2 hour back up recording capability just in case your car battery dies.
