Beautiful, but small and limited usability.

The reviews are true, this unit is beautifully built and anchors my phone rock-solid to it. That said, the arm is so tiny and I literally couldn't use it in my vehicle (2010 Hyundai Santa Fe) as there was no where to mount it. Fortunately, we were able to find one location in my wife's car, so she got a snazzy new phone holder. Peak Design, please make the arm longer and I'll try it again!
Great car mount with an elegant minimalist design that everyone comes to expect from Peak Design. But with one fundamental flaw. The mount and my phone get very hot while charging. To the point where my phone literally overheats and shuts down functionality like maps navigation. I have a Pixel 4XL with the universal adapter. Maybe this combination is responsible, maybe not. So on longer drives I have to unplug the mount and plug into my phone. Which essentially makes the charging feature useless for me.
I bought this product after I bought the case for my iPhone 12 pro max! The magnets force is great. It looks great in my car, very slick and very good quality. I have been searching for a long time for a product like this.
The car mount works great! I would appreciate a stronger hold between the mount and phone case and maybe a wider magnet area on the case itself, but so far the phone holds in place just fine.
I bought this to replace a cheap ball head type mount that I was using. This Peak Design mount is SO much more stable. It holds my Samsung S24 Plus tight, not wobbly at all. Very impressed by how well it adheres to the dash as well.
