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.
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.
The rotating arm isn’t long enough to keep your phone away from the vent.
That being said, this is incredibly secure with two mounting points on your vent. The magnet hold for MagSafe phones is incredibly strong, and I haven’t felt like the my phone will ever fall off.
The rotating arm not being longer is a big deal though, especially when you live in a state that has colder temps 4-5 months out of the year. Getting a warning that your phone is too hot to charge because the heat from the vent is hitting your phone reduces the usefulness of the mount.
I absolutely like the holder, but because the issue of still having my phone covering the vent persist I can’t say that I love it.
I wanted to love this mount, but it cannot hold the weight of an iPhone 15 Pro Max. Every time you take a corner, your phone goes flying across the car, which is incredibly frustrating, especially considering this is priced as a top-tier mount. It will charge your phone wirelessly and works great if you don’t plan on turning while driving.
The Mount is very stable and easy to use with the peak design phone case. The wire clips I received with this were not great and either let go of the wire, didn’t stick to the car for long, or separated from the adhesive part leaving the charging wire free to hang. If they could nail the wire clamp/cable management this would be perfect.
