Solid
on December 3, 2024

This thing is fantastic on my 2015 WRX, the fit is a tad tight as the vent hook has to be fully extended to get it to fit but it's on there good. Most solid vent clip mount I've ever had and my car is not a smooth ride, on bumpy Michigan roads, my phone stays put. 10/10 highly recommend
I would recommend this to a friend!

Engineering at its best

I wasn't sure whether to get a charging or non charging vent mount. In the end the non charging seemed less of a problem if I changed cars later

Needs Improvement
on October 27, 2024
Posted by: ekcel
Design is elegant and blends well with the car interior. However, it does have several drawbacks in everyday usage. One notable issue is the magnetic hold, which performs adequately on smooth, paved roads but struggles on bumpier or uneven surfaces. This inconsistency can cause a regular sized phone (with PD case) to detach from the mount unexpectedly, which is both distracting and unsafe while driving.
Moreover, the locking mechanism tends to loosen over time. It often needs (just enough) readjustment to ensure the phone stays securely in place. This could be a potential nuisance, especially for those who frequently adjust their phones for different viewing angles.
The design is appalling but there is a need to address some concerns to reach its full potential. It's ideal for drivers who mostly travel on well-maintained roads but may require additional attention to the locking system over time.

Limited reach and difficult to tighten
on October 16, 2024

from Union City,CA
There is no doubt that the material and workmanship is good. There is a couple of design issues that need to be addressed.
First, the extending hook piece, is cleverly designed to reach back to the vent fin. However, for my Tesla X, it just barely reach and get the hook to come over the fin.
Second, the tightening rings are all smooth metal so it is hard to really tighten them down using skin/metal friction. The rings should be roughen or ribbed so that the finger can apply more pressure. Especially for the arm that reach sideway, there is a lot of downward pressure due to the weight of the phone.
Lastly, on this car, there is very little space for the hook to hang onto. Once mounted, the phone still block the airflow. I know this is a design incompatibility between the car's vent and this type of vent mount. I just hope that the smart mechanical engineers can develop a solution for this car.
And finally, it is not a problem yet, but the phone really just hang on with magnetic force and it feels weak (when I take it off). It has not fallen off once, but I really am not sure if it will hold with a sudden brake (or in a collision or accident).

Parfaitement adapté à mon véhicule
on October 14, 2024
Posted by: Romain
from Paris
J'ai acheté cette fixation pour avoir mon téléphone facilement visible, et installé solidement dans mon véhicule.
Le systeme se fixe facilement et de manière fiable à l'aérateur central de ma BMW Série 3.
Mon Iphone Pro Max tient bien en place.
Bref, du tout bon.
La qualité de construction est au top (ce qui change des chinoiseries qu'on trouve généralement pour ce type d'article).

Nice adjustable charger mount

I have been using it for a few weeks and I'm pretty happy with it. Well thought out, as with most PD products. It does restrict the vent direction, but I like the adjustment of the arm and it attaches securely without much concern of damaging the vent louvers.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the hold and convenience of the product. Just wish it didn't loosen so easily and regularly

Great mount, but be mindful!

Great vent phone mount! Be mindful no one else messes with it and extends it beyond the recommended length. This makes the mount not stay in place as often and it can come off.
I would recommend this to a friend!
