Amazing fit/finish, but...

I've never seen such a quality vent mount. The fit/finish and engineering were truly impressive. Unfortunately, it didn't work in my car. I have a Mazda CX-5 and the air vent is a bit recessed. Therefore, there is a small lip that sticks out past the vent. The bracket on the mount would hit the vent so you couldn't adjust the vent up or down. For this reason, I had to return it.
This is one of the most solidly built chargers I've used. The MagSafe connects easily and holds really well. My only advice is to read the compatibility chart on Peak Design's website to make sure your vent works the the mount.
I think the product has the right idea, but the execution is bit short. The difference design of air vent of difference cars can be enormous challenge, but the product fell short on just with the normal vent but with angel ( the vent lean a bit backward like this "\" ) so after you extend the arm you support to make the phone face straight up. But it turn out that the bottom part of the phone is tangle with the vent (see photo)
It make the phone doesn't face the driver with perfect angel. I hope there could be a solution for this with some additional accessories !
I purchased this mount about three weeks ago because I got tired of my phone falling off the last one. This one works extremely well, exactly as advertised. I would highly recommend it. My only issue was that I did not realize I was also buying the charger and it came with the wrong connecter cable for my phone. My fault.
I bought this car vent mount about a month ago and couldn't be happier. It fits perfectly in my 2021 Lexus IS 350. The car dashboard is a bit cramped and it was hard to find a perfect car mount for the car. This car vent mount is very customizable with the swivel arm control. I paired it with the Peak Design iPhone case and magnets feel strong and secure in the car vent mount. I highly recommend this product.
I have been using the charging vent mount for a few weeks now, and it has been a pleasure to use. I have the charging version and I love being able to quickly attach my phone to the charger and vent at the same time (previously I had a spring loaded vent mount plus a charging cable to hook it up to every time). With this mount, I just place it on the mount and it is immediately connected and charging. The hold feels really secure, which is something I had been concerned about. I will say, the charge isn't nearly as fast as via the USB C port but it seems like that is normal for wireless chargers? I use this with a Mous case and they seem to be working great together!
I considered several other car mounts with the same functionality but ended up choosing this one in part due to the company reputation and guarantee, and also due to the fact that the charging cable isn't built in, so it can be replaced if it breaks without having to junk the entire device. Thank you Peak for this considerate design choice!
Works perfectly with my rental car Jeep Wrangler. Although the center vent is not quite compatible, we managed to find the side vent that we can squeeze the mount in. Very tide and sturdy the whole journey even when we go off-road.
