My go-to mount

Bought this just over a month ago and have been enjoying the flexibility and versatility of being able to have my device mounted near eye sight for quick navigation. Works great with my Peak Design Mobile Case and provides a stable connection while taking on bumpy and unexpecting country roads
I needed a mount preferably magnetic for my iPhone 11 and this one let me down. The magnetic power is weak, even while using Peak Design's phone case for my iPhone. The mount doesn't really stay secure on my car's air vent either, as if the phone is too heavy and tips forward. Pretty much to have it work is to not drive over any bumps or touch it in any way. I drive a 2020 Honda CRV and this mount just hasn't been useful.
The material of the mount feels quality, but other than that I'm not thrilled and using it has been more stressful than not having a mount at all.
I am becoming a fan of Peak Design. They make well designed products; it works with different product units. It is a well developed ecosystem for your mobile devices. From my commuting on my bicycle to car it is just seamless.
Purchase one month ago. The best designed car mount on the market. I had other car mounts that either blocked my vents or would periodically fall off. Not the case with the Peak Design mount. The mount holds securely to the vent and the adjustments allow for placement that does not block my vents. The charging mount allows the phone to be quickly removed from the mount without the need to connect or disconnect the charging cord. I highly recommend. The video explaining the features is well done.
I like it more than I thought I would at first. This is my first Peak Design product, and I’m happier with it than I expected.
1. It feels high-quality, and the phone stays in place very well. 2. Thanks to the dual mount, it stays very secure, even though it was a bit tricky to install in my BMW X1 F48. 3. I love the hinge; I was able to adjust it so that nothing blocks my view of the display anymore, and I can reach all the buttons again. 4. Charging works well. Of course, it’s not as fast as using a cable, but it’s easily enough to keep my Pixel 9 Pro from losing battery even while playing music and using navigation. 5. Even when there’s no phone in it, it doesn’t look terrible, and nothing rattles.
I decided to buy the PD car vent charger about a month ago. I was hesitant as to the price however it’s great and I just wish I’d bought it immediately when it was available. It charges really fast due to the QI2 capability, it’s solid as in the car vent and no problem at mounting it into my Peugeot 508 RXH. Whats very cool is that because of the moveable arm you can place it exacrly where you need it to be, to avoid the inbuilt car screen and still be in perfect view. Fully recommend it, I’m biased as I’m a PD fan, have an everyday bag, a mountain bike mount, phone case and twch pouch, all are fantastic. Packing cubes next…
I ran into a couple of challenges installing this on a 2018 Acura MDX with a smallish diagonally-oriented vent: * The hook barely cleared the back of the vent blade and required several attempts to catch correctly * The clip could not be positioned close enough to the hook arm to align to the vent blade I wanted. Instead, I had to extend it to reach the next blade which limited where I could position the mount.
Still, this is the most stable vent mount I've tried and, with the charging capability, has me looking forward to my next road trip!
