Rockbros handlebar bag on redmini

Hi! This is my first post here, forgive me if I made it in the wrong category.
I've just bought my radmini 4 and I'm looking for something where I can place my phone and a few other small things while I'm riding. I like to have the phone where I can see it so I can use it for navigation.

So I found this, which seems perfect: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07B9QCD6F/

Except that the radmini doesn't really have a long stem and the display/controller sits right there in the middle. So my concern is that I won't be able to place this in the handle appropriately and it will slide downwards with the weight of the bag contents.


Does anyone have this on a similar handle or have a suggestion for a similar bag that supports seeing the phone? It doesn't have to allow using the phone as I will always stop if I need to use it, so I can take it out of the bag if needed, but I'd like to be able to see it.

Thank you all, in advance.

There are so called bar extenters on Amazon, eBay etc.

I'm planning to buy one for my RadRhino.

I put one of these on my rad runner, gives an "extra bar" to mount things on https://amzn.to/3IzED2Z

Thank you. I was hoping to attach just this bag, I'd like to avoid cluttering.

Here is another option to consider. The Rock Bros top tube bag: https://amzn.to/3bZK3mg

We just bought this for around $22 and it is great on our RadWagon. Waterproof for when it rains and the touchscreen still works on your phone. Plus you can definitely put a few items in it as well. It actually holds more than I thought it would. The only consideration is you have to look further down for navigation. So perhaps a cell phone mount on the handlebars and then this bag would suit your purposes. I haven't shared the bag on YouTube yet but if you want a few pictures let me know! Otherwise the the bar extenders are a good option though I haven't tried them myself.

Ordered similar extension bar from Wish (like Alibaba etc) but who knows when it will arrive... So while having a rainy day I just did a quick DIY extension bar from what I got in garage.. :)

Mainly for my budget action camera, have not tested how well the bar works yet though.

An option that I am trying is the Roswheel Essentials Series Bike Handlebar Bag (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3cQHvaG), which puts the phone up high enough to see easily. The Rockbros bag will require a sharp look DOWN, something I don't want to do. However, I am also thinking about switching to the Surly Moloko bar system, which will change everything.

A nice alternative is the Oranlife bike handlebar bag. I like to use my phone as a GPS device when cycling. It works great when it starts to rain. It protects my phone from the elements and keeps it dry. The storage space is adequate, and I am satisfied with my phone holder in general.

I have a RockBros top tube bag on my radmini, it fits perfect on the top tube.
