A vent-mount phone holder that doesnt fall off

I bought two of these, one for each car, after previous vent-mount AND adhesive mount phone holders had all failed to remain attached. The two point mounting system with a unique hook clamp means that the PD vent mount will not fall off. The adjustment arm allows positioning of the phone in a wide range of positions relative to the vent. The only complaint is that the adjustment arm will slip if not adequately tightened, and the knob has a smooth surface that makes it dependent on your grip strength to get it properly tightened and even then in some positions gravity and road vibration will occasionally work it lose, requiring a readjustment and tightening. This is still the best phone mount I have had and I recommend it for any car with compatible vents.
The Peak Car Vent mount simultaneously solves several problems that I've had with other car vent solutions: • other systems just have the friction grip, which can lead to shifting, sliding, or even falling off – Peak solves that with the adjustable top clip that hooks on and tightens up for better stability and a more secure installation • blocking AC or overheating the back of the phone – I love the swing arm that enables me to move the phone clear of the vent for unobstructed air flow • obscured visibility – in my car, the vent is close to the steering wheel so that when using a car mount that hangs in front of the vent, the phone/map is either obscured or in an awkward position; the Peak vent mount's swing arm lets me put the phone in a position of better visibility and less distraction • consistent charging – it's not that I've had a bad charging experience with other products but consistent charging is something I can rely upon with the Peak vent mount. It just removes one potential point of annoyance by meet that basic performance need with a hassle. • No slip Magsafe – When the phone in its Peak case snaps onto the Peak vent mount, I know it's not going anywhere until I'm ready to remove it. Again, it simply eliminates a potential source of annoyance/stress.
I was so pleased with the first (non-charging) vent mount a few months ago that I purchased that I decided I needed another and this time went with the charging version. No regrets. Very pleased with both - it is nice to have the ability to attach my phone to the mount and know that it is not only secure but also getting a little juice.
As always with Peak, packaged well, shipped quickly, and no worrying if it will be a quality product.
I was hesitant to purchase a vent mount as most others don’t stay in place. This phone mount was meticulously designed to to not only hold any mag case, but to also have a sleek design and style. Very easy to mount, the magnet is strong and works with various cases. The simple yet elegant moveable arm makes it perfect for any position from the vent.
When I bought a car recently I spent a lot of time looking for my old vent mount, but fortunately I could not find it. Therefore I was happy to look for the perfect Peak Design upgrade. This one is so much more stable and versatile to get the perfect fit. My biggest compliments to the designers of Peak Design. And it charges with high speed as well.
