Great but flawed

Overall, I really like this mount. The articulation is excellent and gives me exactly the positioning I wanted. The magnet plate is also highly adjustable, so it’s easy to find a good viewing angle.
A few things could be improved. I’d like the magnet to be stronger, and the tightening mechanism would be easier to use with a textured grip or some etching on the metal.
My biggest issue is the vent-gripping tongue. It’s easy to overextend while installing the mount, and because you can’t clearly see how far it has extended, it’s easy to miss the warning signs. I followed the instructions, but the plastic stop that prevents overextension broke off during installation. I was still able to mount the vent tab securely, but it was loose while I was doing so, and the stop is now essentially broken.
The vent-gripping tongue, including its stop, should be made of metal. That would make this a better overall product and help it last longer. The tongue could also be about a millimeter longer. I was just short of the fit I needed, though I did manage to secure it.
The mount has great adjustability and works well once installed, but the fragile plastic stop is a serious flaw.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The knobs seem to loosen itself after prolonged vibration making the phone switch from portrait to landscape mode mid drive. Would have been nice if the tightening knob had some texture to better grip and tighten. Maybe its not provide to avoid over tightening and damaging the AC Vent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The design works great and fits the vehicle well. I have a non-Qi2 Pixel 7 for now but when I upgrade I can take advantage of faster charging. It was important that the charger not be intrusive and for that it does a great job.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, this is a great product, knocking off a star as it sadly does not work with our Prius 2013 vents, which are horizontal but have one large/thick bar across the vents. (Peak Design, please come out with a version that works with the Prius' vents!) I would definitely buy this again if we ever get a car with compatible vents.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great! My only complaint is that it needs to be tightened over time. Would be nice if it could somehow lock into place.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this phone holder !! With a peak design phone case, the phone just clicks on !! So easy !! Also has a spot to plug in a charging cord !! Also is adjustable so you can turn the base as you want it angled !!
Best Mount I have ever purchased. Quick install if you know how install it. You must clearly and slowly read the instructions. No tools required for install. The pictures on the manual need to be changed becase it took me way to long to figure out how to extend the vent hook. Very happy with my purchase after 3 days of use.
