Excellent mount

I’m extremely happy with this mount. Was in search of a new one to go with my new phone and MagSafe case. I was actually worried how strong it may be, but I couldn’t be happier!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great, but not that flexible in use.

from Near Portsmouth, south coast, UK.
My wife and I have one of these each.
I was a little concerned when I ordered them that the mounting arm was too short. Frankly, it is. There is no way this can hold your phone on the top of the dash-board, as it does not hold the phone high enough to do so.
On my car, an ageing Saab 9-5, the dash is well ahead of the wheel and has a flat top with a quick transition to a near vertical front. Even with an iPhone 13 mini it has to be positioned on the edge so that the lower part of the phone is in front of the dash, whereas I'd rather have it further away. As such it is in a tight spot with some part of the screen behind the wheel.
In my wife's Mini positioning it was a real challenge and it would have been so much better if it could have been mounted on top of the dash, or even to the windscreen. I suspect there are many smaller vehicles which will present similar problems.

So strong!!!

I was worried when I got this, because I drive a VW. It has been really difficult to find secure mounting locations in my car. I have zero smooth patches to use for the sticker, but also atypical vents that won’t work for a vent-mounted model. But hooray—I found a spot that worked! The tape seems strong enough to cope with the irregularities I threw at it. My phone in its peak case snaps on like a dream and doesn’t budge! Perfect!

Wife says…

Love the mount for my vehicle, but only problem is my loved it as well. Had to order another for her side of our vehicle. She loves that she can work on her computer, while being “hands free” thanks to the mount. Now have been told need to order five more for our kids for Christmas. Had to do some quick math, we have three kids, who are the other two for? Per her, the boys girlfriends, so they can be hands free as well during drives. With all that, I love the mount and all the other ones I’m now buying!

Access to Car Play.

I bought this product because I am a fan of Peak Design. I received the mount today and like everyone says, the build quality and materials are A+. However, a few quirks prevent me from giving it 5-stars. First the small complaint...the clips they included have a tiny peak in the center and prevent the included cable from settling into the middle of the clip so the slightest tug easily pulls it out of the clip. That's a simple fix. My bigger issue...and this is mostly on me...is that I use Apples CarPlay all the time and my truck, a 2021 Toyota Tundra, only accesses CarPlay via a USB cable, like most cars I know of. So while the mount does indeed charge the phone, I have to unplug the USB cable from the charger and plug into the phone to use CP. I wasn't thinking of this when I purchased the charging mount. Too bad I ripped up the box and threw away all the packaging. I coulda saved some $ and purchased the non-charging one. I do feel there should be a little "note" or disclaimer on the website to remind people of this...unless I missed that too.

It works well so far

I waited a long time for this to come. I was a bit nervous about it needing to be glued to the car. They did supply another sticky tape in case it’s needed. The magnet is very strong and the charging is an added bonus.

Solid and stable.

I was a bit wary to try a ball mount without some stabilization arm to help support the weight. Other car charger mounts would start to dip. But I know about PD quality so I thought I would give it a try as I was happy with their phone case and wallet.
I am so happy I did. The footprint on my dash is minimal. The connection mount to the dash is solid and hasn't slipped, even in heat. The ball head hasn't moved from my original positioning, even after repeated mounting and unmounting of my phone. This has allowed me to clear my air vent of the obstruction and looks much better.
I am a customer for life after all of my experiences with PD stuff.
I would recommend this to a friend!
