Peak Design

Creator Kit

Game changing for disabled phone user

I own several of these, one on my photography/dogwalking belt, one on my stick, one on my walker (I'm still working on prototyping best mounting options), and one to go on one of my bag capture clips when I need it...(I have several PD backpacks and slings). Admittedly I'm using it more for being a slimlink attachment point vs an actual action mount, but its rugged, its fixed, and I talk it up to other people by shaking the phone attached to the mount point around.

Perfect addition to acra swiss users

A great set of mount and adaptors specially if you're already using Arca Swiss standard for mounting. or go pro user.

Rattles and weak structure

Mounted to a gopro mount on my gravel bike handlebars. The latching fit was looser / more play than any of my other Peak Design mounts. It was the loudest thing on my bike on a bumpy road! Forget about actually trying to film with it -- it bounced around way too much on the mount and the rattling sound was super loud. Also, it was very difficult to get the GoPro mount tight enough to prevent slipping, and I eventually broke the peak design mount while trying to adjust the angle. It's hard to say whether my bike's Tailfin GoPro mount or the Peak Design mount is to blame for the slippage. But the junction of the plastic arm to the slimlink mount is a weak point on the Peak Design mount.)

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.
