Best car vent mount ever!

I've had a few car vent mounts and they never worked, but this one is a piece of clever metal engineering that works and hold your phone super securely! I got the Qi2 version but beware it needs a 20W supply to work properly and it would seem that most USB-A or -C outlets don't normally provide that - you have to use the 12V (cigarette lighter) port in your car! It would be helpful if Peak Design made this clear on their product information on the website.
Bought this for my car (obviously) which I take out to access backcountry trails and campsites on rough gravel roads. I’ve had other magnet mounts (not mag-safe) that worked okay but, would eventually slip and my phone would fall on gravel roads or rough railroad crossings. This vent mount has worked flawlessly so far! Love the fact that I’m not blocking my vents either. Biggest flaw is the charging capability so far. To be fair I’m not using the included charging cable as I use a Bluetooth to FM radio plug-in in my rig for music which only has USB-A connections which is likely why the charging is so slow. May have to consider getting a new plug-in for faster charging. Still, would definitely recommend the vent mount!
I bought this product a couple of months ago. It’s great but it could really use the PD SlimLink feature. It has a really brilliant vent clamp but could also Peak Design’s Slim Link. This is because on some occasions my iPhone max doesn’t quite get a proper magnetic hold and the phone can drop off when the car goes over a pot hole.
Expensive, but 100% you get what you pay for. Cheap plastic mounts are expensive because they need replacing so much, and none of them are rock steady and solid as the Peak Design. I used mine for a year in a new vehicle every 2 days, and it performed flawlessly.
Since the Qi charging pad in my car has been given the nickname ‘Phone Cooker 3000’ I’ve decided to get a mount which charges my phone while also cooling it. And since I already own virtually every PD product in existence, this mount was a no-brainer.
The mount is sturdy, doesn’t wobble too much while driving, and the magnet is strong. Especially combined with the Everyday Case from PD.
Routing the provided USB-c cable along the dash to neatly tuck it away was easy because PD also adds three little adhesive clips which you can stick on your dash.
I purchased this to replace a competitors magnetic vent mount. The Everyday case that I also purchased keeps the phone mounted even while driving on rutted roads in the desert. This mount also allows more air flow from the vent vs the old system I used.
