Does any one know in regards to Garmin mounts. Do companies have to pay licensing fees to use the quarter-turn mount?

Looks like it could work with the Cervelo S5 bars... I like it.

I love new products but this essentially seems to put the mount in the same spot as my current $12 barfly mount.

Looks like a great solution to a problem that doesn't exist

I disagree, I refused to use a single arm out front mount simply because aesthetically, I didn't like the way it looked, not balanced and asymmetrical.

I ended up buying a Fetha mount but had to also buy a new Zipp beyond black stem as the bolt spacing on the older versions were to close together.

So, this would have worked and saved me the new stem, but it also appears to work with just about any stem and various Garmins with multiple placing positions depending on preference.

Have to agree that this looks like a good solution for mounting Garmin, or such. Other mounts are available, and might be less expensice, but still this is clean, and many options in placement. Besides, when does just meeting basic requirements stop our pursuit of a more elegant solution :-)

Great idea, too expensive.

How strange. My crappy bar-clamp mount still annoys me, so I enquired about one of Tillquist's mounts a few weeks ago but I think he's closed up shop; his stuff looked awesome but I doubt the few euro profit on each one was worth the hassle for him.

I had a look on eBay and found some similar items the end, but they do look a bit shonky:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TUSK-2127-250-Garmin-Cycling-Computer-Stem-Aluminum-Extension-Mount-/201575824348

This Kickstarter looks a bit sleeker, but as someone else mentioned, quite expensive for what it is.

Edited to add: having scrutinised their photos and videos a bit closer, it would appear as though you might only be able to use an Edge 800 or 1000 with it flipped back on top of the stem, they don't show any pictures with those units mounted out-front. It's not really clear what the max extension is, but from the pics and animations it doesn't look like a huge amount; with the 520/820 it looks as though you might struggle to use the buttons on the base of the unit.

I've sent them a question regarding the above seeing as I'm tentatively interesting in backing it, but I can't figure out why on earth they've done 90% of their promotional material using the Edge 200 that was a budget bike computer 5 years ago. Anyone still riding around with one of those on their stem is unlikely to shell out $45 on a streamline mount.

This is the same Mount I posted about a few days ago - the three designers/owners run the Cross Team I ride for - the product looks really versatile and I saw the prototypes yesterday look really good.

I'd suggest that they include a dual-sided mount for Garmin and Go-Pro capability.

Awesome looking mount. But too expensive. I'd bite for $20. But almost $50 just seems ridiculous.

I like this mount. As someone with a front end that is not standard size, most bar mounts don't work. Using the bolts would be a home run for me. Unfortunately, the $45 price point is about $15-20 too high for my tastes.

I also agree that they should make a two sided one so you can mount your Garmin on top & a camera on the bottom.

Barfly MTB mount in $60. At least this has some adjustability to it and should fit pretty much any stem. Still a little pricey but would definitely purchase this prior to the Barfly.

The only issue I see is no tilt adjustment. My computer is tilted up a few degrees from the angle of my stem, otherwise it's a little tough to see when it's that far forward. Anybody with a wonky stem setup will also be left out.

Agreed. Drawback to this vs. a K-Edge style mount is no tilt adjustment. I have mine tilted slightly up to avoid sun glare on the screen.

I agree with some of the sentiment on here - too expensive and not really something solving a problem. I use the Garmin cross mount and the two rubber bands solution to put the Edge 1000 exactly where I want it. Why would I spend that on the same thing, allbeit without the bands. Guess if I were that bothered I'd glue the mount onto the bars?

Not to rubbish these guys - it's something I'd spend perhaps 20 on, but 50 is a bit steep.

Hello everyone, Tim from F3 Cycling here. We have listened to the comments and made some changes. We knew when we engineered this mount we could not be everything to everyone, however we are close. We did just add an update where the Garmin 1000 can sit in a forward position, the mount forward as well. Also, we have added an international shipping option that is less expensive than priority. The materials used are expensive and the mold build/bolts/cnc work is as well - it is a premium product for sure. I hope this info helps. Thank you for reading. https://www.kickstarter.com/...-mount/posts/1720558

Cool! Thanks for coming here and giving us an update :)

If it had a GoPro mount under, I'd pay the suggested $$. Otherwise, not for me. I can get the ENVE mount for $40 to fit my ENVE stem. I've been holding off because I wanted a GoPro mount too.

We announced Go Pro compatibility, so you are in luck!! - see post. FormMount is a platform for a variety of things. It is modular and we will continue to make announcements of attachments. Enjoy!!https://www.kickstarter.com/...-mount/posts/1719562

^^This

I ride with garmin/ go pro up front and fly6 out back.

see response from Tim the Founder above - hope this helps

This might be to complicated, but I do night rides on my MTB, if I could get the Garmin up top and the light on the bottom that would be awesome.

I think it's really cool. Looks awesome!
