Mixed bag of a product. Build quality and mechanical design are rock solid. Retention and magnetic, self centering and locking is a great experience. Similar to Peak Design's wireless car vent charger, the charger only draws a little less than 5W, meaning your phone is probably only seeing 3W~4W after inductive charging losses. On top of that, even without a phone mounted, the charger will draw ~300mW. Caution to those who hard wire this setup to a motorcycle or e-bike as it may drain your battery.
I have both the original non charging motorcycle mount and the just released charging version. Both are excellent and are the most minimal solution I've found. Competitors require a separate vibration damper which adds a lot of stack height and don't lock in as easily as the slim link system does. I've done several cross country trips and ADV rides and the mount has never let me down, even with a few minor crashes in the desert. Best system out there, by a lot.
Bought on kickstarter after long time waiting for charging base, and it didn’t deserve me. Works seamless, holds easy, without calculating insert angles, just approach the mobile, feel the click and done.
This is the best phone mount for motorcycle. I used v1 mount for 3 year and 35k miles on my R1250GS with out any issues in all possible riding conditions. Recently upgraded to V2 and it works even better.
Rating this as the product is listed. Just received today and I love the quality. Was pleasantly surprised to find I could rotate my phone while it’s fully clipped in and not lose the clipping ability. Two things I’d like to see in the future though. First is the usbc dongle is difficult to line up as there’s no exterior indicator that you’re going in straight. I was able to get it though fairly easily though. Secondly I’d like to see a direct to battery fused dongle so I wouldn’t have to purchase an additional device to give my motorcycle a usb c port especially since that will make that connection not water rated. Otherwise awesome product
I have a 2022 Triumph Bonneville T100 and the mount fits perfectly just to the right of the stock bar mounts. I love that it was designed with vibration dampening in mind and not as an afterthought. I also have the slim wallet so being able to pop it on and off the bike and then pop my wallet on for day to day stuff is awesome. The mag safe compatibility also means I can throw it on the charger mount in my wife's car and it works perfectly. I've only used it for shorter commuting rides and some faster but still short rides in the country. I'm looking forward to having it for longer rides - no more getting off course and stopping to check directions while sweating in all my gear. I'm a designer by trade so I value the thoughtful design and high quality materials. The best designs don't just look good (which these products do), they have to actually function well for real people in real situations. The PD products definitely do that.
