Peak Design

Creator Kit

Plastic material is too weak!

I really liked it right up until it failed in a very preventable way. The 1/4-20 mount piece is not made of a material that is strong enough for actual field use.

Snapped at base

Snapped off when I hit a bump. Was holding an iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Won't stay in place even when fully tightened.

I bought this to use with the Gnar case that I will also be returning. The connection between the case and the mount seems very solid and easy to use. My issue with this mount is the GoPro connection. Even with it tightened down to a ridiculous level, the arm still moves with very little force. I'm not going to trust my phone to a mount that will easily swing forward or back. None of my other Gopro attachments (OEM or knockoff) suffer from this kind of looseness. When they are tightened they stay put. Not sure what's going on here but this product fails for me in a critical area and one of the simplest pieces.

Does not fit go pro mounts

Good product for some uses. Does not fit any of the gro pro mounts I have tried to date. This is a big drawback as this is what I purchased it for. However, I was able to adapt it for vehicle use so it did not go to waste. Would like to see something that allows the peak design phone case click into this adaptor and then be able to attach to a go pro mount.

it broke when it fell. That's why I don't recommend it

This can be your phone belt mount!

I found this product unexpectedly so useful outside of its originally intended use cases. It’s already useful with a capture clip to become an instant body cam, but this combination can also serve as a phone belt mount! The SlimLink tech is so sturdy that I’ve never seen my phone dropped because of a SlimLink failure. With your phone staying out and on your side, you’ll never have your pocket occupied with your large phone or doing hand gymnastics taking in and out your phone. It’s also easier to stand and sit as you don’t have to care about your phone's location. What’s more, thanks to the beams extending from the capture clip base, your fixed phone doesn’t interfere with your clothes too much. I initially thought this Creator Kit would only see occasional uses, however, it tuned out to be one of my essentials of my every day life. Enjoy your quick fix & release your phone!

Best mount to secure your smartphone

Have you been making mobile movies with your smartphone lately, using “all metal”, “heavy”, “lumpy and big” peripheral accessories, with a lot of sweat and stress? Those are great ways to go, but when I use a “smartphone cinema camera” I want a full set that is as lightweight and small as possible. Peak Design has that full set. The “SlimLink mount” that can be shared with Peak Design's Mag-Safe is a great mount that stands head and shoulders above the rest, no matter how many imitations and similar mounts are out there in 2024. I pre-ordered the recently released iPhone16 Pro and purchased the iPhone16 Pro Everyday Loop Case at the same time to enjoy the iPhone Cinema Camera as usual. And I am amazed and impressed by the top quality ProRes 4K 120P video beauty of the iPhone16 Pro. The Mobile Creator Kit with Slim Link Mount is a fantastic way to utilize this in my work. I would recommend this mount to all aspiring mobile creators and to all professional photographers, photographers, and filmmakers who use their smartphones as sub-cameras.

Very handy

Works like a charm and very versatile. It’s an excellent product for the price point.

Innovative and ease to use

I purchased the Mobile Creator Kit to bring with me for an upcoming vacation and have spent a few weeks testing out different scenarios. I'm currently using a Pixel 7 Pro with the PD Everyday Case and they work perfectly together. Once the case is placed on the kit, it connects instantly in either portrait or landscape and I'm confident it will not fall off. The Creator Kit came with all the accessories needed to work seamlessly with my tripods and selfie sticks. It also fits neatly into the side pockets of the PD Field Pouch v2 and the PD Tech Pouch making it easy to transport while I'm out and about.

Very neat product

Got it a week and couldn't be happier. High quality product, goes with me anywhere.
