This is the better solution for limited space

I used to have the older stick on mount, but when I changed vehicles I didn’t have a good spot to adhere the mount. Every spot was either too far away, or not enough flat space. I hate window mounts too. Then this came into the picture. My console and dashboard are phone clutter free. I do have to adjust the phone every time I mount it, but this is not a problem with the mount, but rather the fact that I’m placing a weighted object onto a movable surface (vent blades). I knew what I was doing, so minor adjustments when I place the phone on the mount doesn’t bother me in the least bit.
Very nice, works well with az ESR halolock case (which has a foldable stand) , car holder is sturdy, but when you realy tighten it to the fan blade, the problem is not to damage the blade itself, that pretty much impossible, the actual issue is that you will damage the internal part of the holder! Which happened in my case, if you full extend thr blade you can actually pull it out completely, and when you put it back it has a side aligning metal leg, that broke off now, though i can still tighten the holder to the vent, and holds well, seems like that metal piece is only for alignment to install the hook to the holder. It just seems funny that in the YouTube video they mention don't overtighten cause you will damage the car vent blade, giving an impression that the holder is so strong that it can damage a thick plastic piece, while actually thr product will be damaged.
Love the vent mount from Peak Design. Sturdy and well made, it keeps my phone in place. My previous mount was too close to the wiper control arm in the steering wheel. Peak Design made sure there was ample extension to move it away from the wiper control and clear the front of the air vent. Nice!!
I was Very skeptical because most MagSafe products are not strong enough to hold your cellphone while driving through normal streets making turns. Peak design never fails, magnet works great, super strong and having a sleek design doesn’t hurt
This product changes the way I drive: I got the charging mount, so I am able to just chuck my phone on the magnet and have access to the phone's map while I'm driving. It's super easy to install and even easier to use. It doesn't charge quickly, but I can't blame that on the unit (more the charge from the car). There are clips to 'hide' the cord as it connects into the cigarette lighter.
