Hoping Gen2 is Better
on September 5, 2023
Posted by: Josh in SF
from San Francisco, CA
The sliding top vent hook broke during the first application; it absolutely NEEDS to be made out of metal. Installation was quick and easy, the mount holds on to my phone very well. However, as soon as I got to the office and removed the mount from the vent (I don't want to leave it in and entice a would-be burglar), the toothed part of the hook would not fully retract, so the second time I went to install it in the vent, it no longer closed fully enough to engage with the vent.
A tiny inner feature made of plastic had snapped off and caught in the internal threads. Once removed, it worked again, but now I have to be careful every time I install it not to let it travel too far out, or the threaded hook part might fall out and into the vent and lost.
Overall I liked the appearance and application of the product, but I'm going to tell my friends to hold off on buying one until the design gets a refresh.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Finally!

It is wonderful to finally have a car mount that actually works. Thank you! If anything could be changed, I'd suggest that you put ridges or knurls on the round pieces that turn to make it easier to tighten them.

Excellent Mount

It’s the best, bar none, just be careful not to over extend the claw or you’ll have to use a very tiny bit to back out a set screw. I have an F150 and the claw needs to be extended near the max, be careful, the mount is worth every penny, doesn’t block the vent and is super sturdy.

Bought this 2 months ago for my husband along with the everyday case so its compatible. A car vent mount never looked so stylish. Excellent. And the grip is just right for us.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works great!

I drive a lot for work and needed a better solution to mount my phone in my car. I love how easy the vent mount was to install and that I'm able to angle it so that it doesn't block the air vents. In the summer, the southern heat is crazy and I don't have to worry about my phone overheating in the winter. I bought the one that charges my phone which is great because I use my maps app all the time along with spotify and some other apps running on my phone. This is great and you have a so many ways you and angle your phone that fits your needs best without blocking your view while driving. Would definitely recommend!

Great Design Held Back by Vehicle Vent Variations
on August 8, 2023

I was hoping to use this on one of the front mounts for my BMW X5. However these vents have multiple options to adjust the airflow. So I had to use a side vent near the door as these had simple slots which would provide a much more secure fit.
It will still work fine, just not where I was hoping to install this.
Also, I previously had the Peak Design Car Mount which uses a double backed adhesive. I have reinstalled this 3 times with new adhesive as heat causes it to come off the dash.
I would recommend this to a friend!
