BioLogic BMP4 Review by T. Greenfield "HotTea" (Riverside, CA)

Ride all the roughest rockiest technical trails Sedona AZ has to offer. (you know the ones)
Review:
I have countless rides with the previous Dahone mount for 3g completed in Sedona without a product failure or issues at all. I added this review to the new product because I am able to fit my Iphone 4 in the old case. The previous version (3G) of this case is made well and has only added to the geek out factor of my rides. I have used the GPS of motion X app to map countless trails and connection in Sedona that are not found in any book or guide and only reside in the local cerbral cortexes. I have literally taken this baby down the most extreem roughest teeth ratteling trails you can find anywere on earth. Big drops, Air, slaming climb outs. NOT ONCE has the unit failed or opened or done anything but hang in there. There are some negaitve reviews or dissapointmets out there so here are some tips that may help and have proven usefull to me:
1) dont crank down the mount, allow the unit to be tight but you should be able to move it with some pressure around the bar you strap it to. The reason is when you crash or bang a knee you wont crack it and it will move out of the way by spining on the bar. Same thing I do on brake levers. To tight doesn't allow any give on handlebar mounted items.
2) I recently started running a rubber band around the unit only beacuse of another review where one popped open not due to any personal negative experience. It seems prudent and doesn't affect the use in a negative way. If the case launched for some reason the phone would be fine. Overall the case is a good or better than an Otterbox for drop protection, so long as it is closed and stays closed
3)I have only had it out in light rain but my unit stayed totally dry and sealed. In addition there is never any dust in the case after a ride. Keep the rubber clean and case should seal up fine for some weather. In a downpour put it in your pack and lower your stress if you have to.
4) Leave with a fully charged phone and watch your bat. GPS is a power hog and so is that screen. Don't find yourself with a double flat a skinned knee and no phone to make a call to the person who saves you.
5) Have fun geeking out on all the rediculous data and numbers you can generate about your rides and your routes. I love being able to email out location data and stuff just for kicks.
After all this I think I will order the new case just for phone and to see what got better.

BioLogic BMP4 Review by J. Kelly
I have ridden for over 2 years with a biologic case. Initially the previous version and, since it's release, the iPhone 4 version. I ride over 200 times a year and always with the iPhone on the bars.
I see others have had problems but this one has fit well and been water-tight. I carry an extra plastic sandwich bag and a rubber band though in case I get caught in a downpour. I wouldn't trust anything in that situation. So far I've only put the bag on twice though.
The past version did not have that great a clasp and I had to put an rubber band around it for extra security. This one works securely though. The bar mount itself is not that great because if you go too tight it will slip. It still stays tight, but you just can't overdo it. It means, that the mount always has the ability to move if you need to change position, and still stay secure. But I'd like it more if I could lock it down totally. It would certainly feel more secure.
You may want to take the phone off if you get a flat and have to flip the bike over. I lost the phone one time after a flat, because the ground bend the plastic catch a bit, and when I put the phone back on it did not 'lock'. I quickly found the phone though and flexed the little catch part and it's been fine since. Just remember to double check if you ever flip your bike over.
I feel the case is like a helmet. It'll probably help the phone survive one real crash where it would actually impact the ground, but that's it. It does protect it from everything else though.
The camera works absolutely fantastic on the road, but is unfortunately way to bouncy for the trail. Here's a video I took with the older 3GS: [...] The 4 version will be much clearer, but just as shakey. What the real advantage is though is having the phone accessible for when you do want to pull it out and take a picture or a video by hand. Riding with the phone in your back-pack instead makes it mostly useless.
Other stuff: I don't really use the mount for filming or listening to music. Or for taking calls much. You can talk through it on speaker but it's almost impossible to talk and ride and hear what people are saying. However they can still hear you so that's been useful to, say, tell a fellow rider you'll see them in 10 minutes, etc..., without stopping. If you really need to take calls while riding then get a blue-tooth ear piece too; that works great. And texting is accessible, though I sure wish Apple would get ride of that "shake to undo" feature as you can't turn that off!
But what I do use the phone for is tracking. I'm often riding alone at night, and with a couple of apps I'm able to send up a live tracking GPS position. If my people don't hear from me they can instantly check the map and see where I'm at and if I'm still moving. GPS Tracker and Glympse are my favorites, though there are many others.
I then use numerous other apps for tracking and routing: This year I spent the the summer in London. If I wanted to get to dirt trails I had to ride there. At times I could take a train but that meant mapping through the city to a station, and then mapping from the destination train station to a trail head. It actually turned out to be really simple using a couple apps. The first is NavFree UK (there is a US version). As a free navigation app it was pretty good. I set it to give walking directions as they tended to be direct and quiet. But the app is cool because all the maps were offline so didn't drain the battery much, and if I had to make a turn off the route (one-ways, etc...). it would immediately reroute. Following the 3D map was easy with a quick glance. On a number of occasions it even routed through parks, byways and single track! All I had to worry about was the traffic and riding the bike, and this thing never failed to get me to the destination. I found myself looking forward to each new adventure even though normally road commuting is not that much fun. It took all the headache out of worrying about directions and allowed me to enjoy the ride.
Of the numerous trail gps apps like MapMyRide I ended up using mostly one called EveryTrail. It's very much like the others, but you can easily locate MTB and road routes online and save them to the phone app. I'd find loops others had done and load them up. When I got the the trail head I'd fire up EveryTrail, and and follow the loaded breadcrumb track. The map could even turn in the direction I was heading, so it was quite easy to see a coming turn and where to go. I did this this a bunch of times on various single track loops. Some of these uploaded tracks also included pictures and video along the way, so it was almost like having a local guide with me! Meanwhile I was also recording my own track, and stop to add pictures and video to the tracks too.
iPhone tracking doesn't beat the accuracy of a stand-alone system like a Gamin, but with the street mapping and numerous bike apps, and the ability to send out a live location signal for emergency, well it makes the phone extremely useful. I would not have explored many of the places I found without it.
Lately I've been using another app called OutFront by MapMyTracks. It's basic tracking too but also gives a host of other features like total time as well as total moving (activity) time. Then it gives average speed for the whole trip, as well as average moving (activity) speed like a real bike computer. When you stop it stops, when you go it goes. It also gives elevation and a whole bunch of other data. I like being able to see all that stuff!
I'm doing a 64 mile small charity ride this weekend. From experience I know that courses like this are often marked well at the beginning, but then marking seem to be less prevalent as the miles fly by! (That and I'm more tired!) Fortunately they posted the gpx of the route, so I'll be able to load it into the EveryTrail app and follow the route.
Lastly, I have found that using the gps apps does take up battery, but using multiple gps apps at the same time doesn't increased that drain significantly. The battery easily lasts a three hour ride. For longer rides I also have an external battery I hook up under the bars. At 5AH it lasts through all day of continuous use. (to find one look up "external iPhone battery" here on Amazon). If I was doing a multi day tour and camping I'd want to hook up with Dahon's dynamo system, which is designed to work with this mount. But the external battery is a simple and cheaper solution for spending the day out. When navigating too you can conserve battery by turning off the screen if you've got a long way before the next turn.
BioLogic BMP4 Review by Chase (Southern California, USA)
I read all the reviews and purchased this going into fall since I had the RAM mount for the iphone (works really well!) but it isn't waterproof and the mornings were getting damp. Purchased this after looking at the photos and seeing people discuss how an ANT connector might be able to fit. It doesn't. Just a hair too short unless you take out the plastic inside and your phone is very loose and rattles all over the place - not recommended.
Overall, a well made product, easy to use and responds to all touch responses very easily and I like that you can still use both the front and back camera.
