Fast mount

Loving and rocking this mount since I got it. Solid build, works perfectly with my PD Travel Tripod if needed (I didn't need that yet), and works great with my Manfrotto Pixi mini tripod. The mounting/removing is super fast thanks to the Slim Link system. If there are any downsides to this product: no cold shoe mount (I rarely need one anyway so I'm not bothered by this) and the Slim Link system only works with a Peak Design case. I do use external Moment lenses sometimes, which require a Moment case so in those situations I cannot use this mount and will have to use another bulkier one that requires more time/effort to mount/remove my phone.
My motorcycle has always used a RAM Mount. I just bought a camera screw ball mount adapter, and this is the best thing I have ever had on my bike. And amazing that I can just take it off and put it on a tripod! Love it! Your bar mount might be cool but lots of bikes don't have a bar where you could mount it.
Build Quality: The creator-kit is well made even though the base is made out of plastic. I was surprised that PD decided to use plastic instead of machined aluminum, but this setup should hold-up well as the Creator Kit is designed for phones and small cameras and not for heavy cameras.
Functionality and Uses:
Creator Kit Functionality: The creator kit requires the usage of either Peak Design's Everyday Case or the Universal Adapter. The phone mounting side of the creator kit has cleverly placed magnets and also has the physical PD proprietary SlimLink connector. This is a very versatile and well thought out accessory. My iPhone (with the Everyday case) satisfactorily clicks onto the Creator Kit when you take it close. The physical SlimLink connector ensures that the phone will not fall off of the Creator Kit. The base has a built-in thumbscrew that nicely tightens up the connection with a tripod or the Capture Clip. My uses of the Creator Kit: My favorite use is to mount the creator kit onto the tripod. You can directly mount this on to a tripod. If you have Peak Design’s Capture clip, you can mount the Creator Kit on it! Now, once you have that, you can then mount the Capture clip onto your belt and also onto the Peak Design hip-belt. A very interesting use case is to mount the creator kit with the capture clip onto your backpack strap and you can then start a video as you hike in the mountains. See attached picture. Also, the creator kit with the capture clip serves as a table stand for your phone. You could also use this as a table mounted tripod setup for selfies or group pictures.
Compatibility of GoPro accessary is the excellent.

I bought this two month ago. I use this product with the Everyday Case for Pixel and the GoPro accessaries. The combination of case, kit, and the handler of GoPro makes good experience for me. I can use the handler when I would like to use, because I can put it on and off really easy.
I bought this a couple of weeks ago. It is easy to use. I love the way the iPhone case I bought at the same time just snaps on to it and easily removed with a press of the button on the back. It will be great for photography or videography eventually but for the moment it adds functionality to my tripod. I just put my iPhone on top of the tripod and have it next to me when I'm doing something else or lying on the sofa. Its great.
It's a pretty solid mount for my use (go pro substitute that is mounted on the underside of my bike computer mount) Although it offers very little stabilisation so it tends to be quite shaky.
Made from metal, feels smooth, easy to attach it and attach on it. when I tighten the screw I don't worry about breaking it, or the long arm will brake once it holds a big mobile. I use it with all go pro attachments, bike, car, tripod etc.
