Nice product but with a design flaw.

This is the second time I bought the same product and though very happy with it the first time unfortunately the “hook” coming out of this product to bold it your ventilation is pretty short. Too short and when I turned it out too far (you can’t see that it’s too far out when the hook is inside you ventilator) it wouldn’t go back in. I had to Arjensbreak the stopper that didn’t stop it from coming out too far but did stop it from going back in again. Now it is all bolted to my car and working very nicely. But for a 100 dollar plus object this should have been designed better.
I’m giving this two stars for the idea, design, and overall quality. The real issue is the cost—it's far too high for something that’s difficult to install and struggles with stability. If you tighten it past the red marking, that’s it; you can’t go any further/Tighten, and the whole thing becomes loose and unstable. The hook really should have a rubber coating to keep it from shifting around. I ended up returning it.
This is a very sturdy mount that was easy to install and works great with my PD case and my Ford F150. The product is 5 stars.
HOWEVER, my Pixel 10 Pro will only charge at 1.3W, which BARELY keeps up with battery drain while navigating. After researching and speaking with PD, I'm sure this is a Pixel problem and not a PD problem.
It is odd, my Qi1 bedside wireless charger from PD works much better. So Idk.
This is the perfect phone mount for my Grand Cherokee. My brother recommended it to me, and I bought the phone case to go along with it. Beautiful color choices for the case. This is a must have phone mount. Everything was thought of when designing the mount.
Fit and finish are fantastic as always expected from PD. Only problem is my even when fully cranked (like as far as I can) down the arm to the phone still slips from its position. The MagSafe is also a bit weak. I use a Pelican MagSafe case and my iPhone 15 pro comes right off with just a little bump when reaching for a button. Not sure these things area PD problem, but for the money I wanted the phone solidly in place.
Perfect solution for my car. The design creates a sturdy connection with the vent while allowing me to adjust the angle and position of the phone. I also appreciate the ability to charge my phone while using it.
My latest edition since I bought the phone case and motorbike mount, which were both great. This new car mount fitted on to my air vent securely, and my phone pops on firmly every time, and never falls off (however many speed bumps I go over). Very solidly built, much better quality than previous cheap plastic ones. A convert!
