Almost perfect

Ok so I love the mounting system’s quick on/off feature, it’s aluminum build, and the case is thin/ flat. Now for why it’s 3 stars for me. One thing I’d like added/ built into future phone cases is a strong magnet in each corner so it can be stuck to a fridge or motorcycle tank etc. I added three to the outside my case so I know they don’t affect the phones functions ie compass, MagSafe charging, or the camera, or any other part of the phone. The magnets that already are built into the case are too weak to support the weight of the phone but that’s not their purpose so I accept that but would love to have my idea implemented in future cases. The bigger reason for my two star deduction is that after less than a weak of riding to and from work my rear camera image stabilizer is beginning to fail so basically the dampener needs to be improved upon. When I had my phone mounted with my quadlock with their dampener I had no issues with the image stabilizer failing. The only changed variable was switching over to peak design and I’ll still be using it because it’s so sleek/ functional and my image stabilizer is now already compromised. Once I get it fixed or upgrade my phone I don’t know if I’ll continue to use it though because I don’t want it to happen again especially when I know my old QL with dampener does protect the image stabilizer. If peak design ads the magnets and makes their dampener more full proof then it will be hands down the best on the market. However for me QL has them beat where it really counts for motorcycle mounts which is their dampener and it protecting the phones image stabilizer. Everything else peak design blows them and others out of the water. This has been my experience and I’ve had a lot of failed image stabilizers from using other motorcycle mounts so this isn’t a fluke or my first rodeo. I hope no one else experiences this but I did and feel I should let others know.

We are glad that were able to discuss this issue with you directly via email and get things sorted for you here. As mentioned in our exchange, we fully stand behind our vibration protection functionality and consider it to be hands-down the safest phone mounting system on the market. To-date, your failure remains one of the very few instances of this we’ve ever seen with our mounts. We’re confident that you’ll be able to ride without worry from here on out. Thanks again for your support!

Rock-Solid Mount for Your Precious Mobile Phone
on October 14, 2021

As a long-time dual-sport motorcycle rider and PD fanboy, I was super excited to help back the Kickstarter in part because of the promise of this bar mount. It did not disappoint! Easy to install, tech-sexy to look at, and extremely flexible angle choices that fit in my modified and cramped cockpit.
The mag + locking mechanism mated with a vibration dampener was very comforting, and you just know the guys who designed and built this are riders. The button releases on the back to take the phone off are genius in that you only need to press on one side to unlock. Way better than any RAM mount configuration.
I've logged well over a thousand miles, on highways, twisty backroads, and dirt fire roads beta testing this mount and it has never given me a pause to question its reliability or fitness for purpose. Definitely recommend!
I would recommend this to a friend!

The best. Full stop.

If you ride a motorcycle and have a desire to mount your phone in a way that is (a) visible to you, (b) totally secure while moving, and (c) easily removable with one hand; then this Peak Design mount is THE option. Seriously.
It is so simple and satisfying to use. This sets the new standard for motorcycle phone mounts.

Charging option would make this the best mount

This would be the absolute best mat on the market if they added the wireless charging option to it. The one for my car is fantastic and would be even better for my bike.

BRILLIANT MOTORCYCLE PHONE MOUNT, GET IT!
on October 15, 2022

I have both the 1" ball PD mount and this PD Motorcycle mount, they both work equally as well. The arm for the 1" ball has a wider foot print than this mount, this one has a minimalist approach if you like that. I attached photos of both so you can see the difference.
The previous motorcycle mount system I was fine and secure, but this one is far easier to use, has a smaller footprint, and looks better. The previous system required you to insert slots on case onto brackets on mount and twist to lock in. Sometimes it worked easily, and other times took considerable effort. The PD is consistently easily, just put the phone on top of the mount and the magnets pull it in and mechanically lock it in place. It is very easy to remove with 1 hand. It is very easy to remove and mount the phone even while riding, though I rarely need to do that.
The PD mounts have vibration isolators (dampeners) built right into them, so you don't have to worry about bike vibration damaging your phone camera. The previous system i used required you to buy an extra dampener, take the mount apart and install dampener to it. PD makes things so much simpler.

The Motorcycle Mount King
on October 14, 2021

I've had the pleasure to use the Moto Mount for a couple of months now and it's hard to imagine riding without it. I have a Bluetooth motorcycle helmet and now I can see who's calling me, which is handy. I also like that I can more easily map out my rides and see where I'm going.
The metal design and how the magnets work with the case make everything else on the market feels like junk. Peak Design didn't cut corners on quality that will last. While my friends sport their rigid, cheap-feeling plastic cases, I love using my sleek case and my quick ability to lock my phone to my motorcycle.
The price may seem like a premium but the mount is premium. I've ridden in crazy winds, rain, and all sorts of adverse weather with no problems effecting the mount. It's something that will last for years to come. It's quality that lasts.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fuss free phone mounting

Have been testing the moto bar mount for about 2 months right now. It is by far the easiest mount out in the market to use. You do not need to find the correct angle for the locking mechanism to work as the magnet will help to align your phone to the mount.
I would recommend this to a friend!

An essential accessory for every one of your bikes
on October 16, 2021

This mount is a wonderful piece of equipment to have with your bike. The articulation points make it easy to orient the mounting point anywhere you would like it to go during installation and locks into place with bolts so it doesn't move around while you're riding. The connection between the mount and the phone case/universal adapter is absolutely as rock-solid as a Quad Lock with an even more convenient and quick mounting and removal method. The mount feels reliable and solid up to triple-digit speeds, even when using the Universal Adapter on the back of my phone rather than a dedicated case (older Android phone).
Basically, if you want a rock-solid phone mount that allows you to use a case that isn't an oddly-shaped piece of injection-molded plastic, this is your go-to. If you want to have a solid phone mount without sacrificing wireless charging reliability and MagSafe usage, then again, this is your go-to.
Every bike you own should have one of these (or the stem-mount version if compatible with your ride).
