I bought this for my Selfie-Stick, the handling and stability is now much more better, then it was ever before
I would recommend this to a friend!

Designed nicely, but a little heavy!

Use the device for the 1st time for my recent hike and realized that it was a lot heavier than probably necessary.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Useful and functional kit!

I was hesitant to get this initially due to price, but since I’m getting the everyday iphone case I decided to give it a try. It’s not just a mobile creator kit, it’s a secure phone clip (esp. when paired with capture clip). I use it to clip on my belt, I use it as photography/videography tool, and as a desk phone holder when paired with tiny tripod. Very versatile!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fast, easy and secure

It so good, I actually bought a second one. One I use usually with a tripod, the other is permanently installed in my car. It works amazingly. Fast to attach, fast to detach and holds as steady and strong as it could be. Simply amazing product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not in my pocket
on February 18, 2022

The clip in system is very secure. The phone doesn't come off! I don't like carrying my phone in my pocket. So I adapted this system so that the clip-in base is mounted on the sternum strap of my work backpack. (If ever I want to use the creator kit, I can easily put it back together)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Most stable mobile phone holder

The holder is very practical. The magnetic and mechanical closure is ingenious and holds super tight.

Feels Cheap
on February 8, 2022
Posted by: Jeremy
from San Jose, CA
I really hate to say this but when I opened up my creator kit, I was immediately underwhelmed by the feel of the mount and how fragile it felt. The arca adapter plate I assume is made of the polycarbonate material which just feels like it won’t last long. I can understand trying to keep this light but I expected the arca adapter would be aluminum. All the knobs feel so brittle as well.
The other strange thing is that the locking knob on the arca adapter makes it very difficult to put the phone in a vertical orientation in its default configuration. However, you can just unscrew the adapter plate from the mount arm and flip it. It’s not a big deal but it’s inconvenient and feels like this is a problem that should’ve been accounted for early on in the design of this thing.
I’ve been with Peak Design since capture and when compared to that, this just feels like an engineering sample.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Jeremy,
We're disappointed the Creator Kit fell below your expectations.
In general, we tested our design extensively and believe that polycarbonate was the right material choice.
Making either ARCA mount or the arm from metal is problematic because the GoPro tabs need to deflect slightly under pressure from the thumbscrew to create the required holding torque.
Keeping the weight low and having a breakaway value for strength, especially for safety in a helmet-mounted application, was also a consideration.
And of course, if under normal use you have any strength problems using our product we are happy to replace it under warranty.
Thanks,
PD Team
