Does mounting position affect MotoLens trip detection?

No. Trip detection uses the phone's motion sensors and GPS, not the camera. The mount position only affects the recording angle and stability of the footage.

Is a handlebar mount better than a stem mount for MotoLens?

Handlebar center mounts are easier to reach for the single tap that starts recording, which matters when MotoLens sends you a trip detection notification. Stem mounts look cleaner but can be harder to reach quickly.

Can I use MotoLens with a phone case installed?

Yes, as long as the case fits your mount. Most handlebar mounts accommodate standard-thickness cases. Very thick cases or wallet cases may not fit all mounts — check the specs before buying.

What if my iPhone overheats while recording?

iPhones can throttle or stop background tasks when they overheat. Park in shade, remove the case if possible, and avoid direct sunlight on a windless day. A powered mount can make overheating worse on hot days.

Does the rear camera need to be completely clear for MotoLens to work?

Yes. The camera lens must be unobstructed. Check that the mount doesn't partially cover the camera cutout, especially with cases that have small lens openings.
