I have used this mount for the last year, and have not had a problem.

I even take it with me when I travel and use with rental cars.

At the moment im using renline and i'm very pleased.
But for those of you who are using wireless chargers, the charging is fast or slow?
I have Samsung galaxy S20 ultra, I have already tried three wireless chargers and they are very slow.
Do you have any recommendation?

I use this wireless charger:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've tested it with an app on my iphone and it shows that it charges my phone at 4 watts (800 MAMP) and it takes 100 seconds to charge 1%. I consider that average and I'm happy with it. It also puts the phone in front of a vent which is convenient for blowing cold air at it to prevent overheating during charging.

There's not much you can do as car wireless chargers aren't very fast. I have a 10 watt charger attached to my Rennline mount but I think the best you can get is a 15 watt charger. It maintains the charge level while slowly charging it during use and I have a Note 20 Ultra. In my opinion just as long as the phone isn't dying and the battery is slowly charging while using your phone for bluetooth audio or GPS that's a win. If you need to charge quickly, you will have to opt to use a USB cable.

You have a picture mounted? Looking for a good solution without using a clamp in the vent.

Well sir you are correct. It did come, I didn’t have to bend anything, I picked up a MagSafe charging head for it, was able to completely hide the cable with a 90 degree head on the cable, I’m loving it.

I did the same thing. Only ends up being a couple week wait anyway.

Those Magsafe chargers do you need to have it's specific phone case for it? Or can you mount a naked phone on it?

As long as it's an iPhone 12 or newer it's compatible. Some cases that aren't made for magsafe may be too thick and not hold well enough.

Naked yes, but as stated if the case isn’t magsafe, like my sons, it doesn’t hold very well at all.

Here is my PROCLIP cradle pairied with a KUDA mount which works for the F8X and F3X.
The PROCLIP cradles are great, and so are the PROCLIP mounts, but for the F8X/F3X they block a vent, which I also don't want to do, so I went with a KUDA mount instead:

Here is one I would HIGHLY recommend for iPhone users who have MagSafe (iPhone 12 & 13). I just ordered two more the other day as Christmas presents.

I've had mine for a year, and love it. 90% of the time I don't have it plugged in, only using it as a holder. However when using my phone for navigation, then I will plug it in for wireless charging.

It's also really easy to remove and use in another vehicle.

I use this Iotte non-charging vent-mount, ~$25. It's spring loaded so if you push the arms in on your way out, it automatically snaps the phone in when you put it back in, no magnets. They have charging models as well but I've been using these for years in 3 different cars with no issues at all. I like it in the 340 because it keeps the phone up high, I just have to carefully position it to not block the car screen or controls I use.
