Just in case anyone is still looking for a good solution to mounting devices to MTB hadlebars / stems...

I had a similar quest to find something I could use to mount to my satnav to my MTB handlebars.
Some of the products I did find were either really product specific (Garmin), only suitable for non OS sized bars (i.e. not 31.8mm), or were just plain weak and I was worried that my satnav would drop and smash...

In the end, I bought a cheap bike lock, that has a strong, plastic jubilee clip type thing for mounting the lock to your bike frame. It has 2 x straps and is designed to carry a fair bit of weight, so you can tighten it up and know that it's not going anywhere.

I used a hack-saw to cut down the mounting bracket so that all that was left was the plastic jubilee clip and a flat surface, which I was able to use and fix the satnav mounting bracket to with a couple of screws and a bit of strong glue.

I have used this mount to cover hundreds of miles off-raod and it works perfectly!
You also get a free lock for your efforts!

The other benefits are that you can mount your device to your stem rather than the bars, and it is pretty easy to remove when you don't want to use it / leave it on your bike.
I'm happy to post a link to some pics if anyone wants more info.

I now plan to adapt the mount now for my HTC tytn II - will need a waterproof case though...
