Peak Design Mobile Creator Kit - Black (M-CK-AA-BK-1)

I purchased the Peak Design Mobile Creator Kit after backing their original Kickstarter campaign for mobile accessories. Over time, I’ve collected most of their products, and having recently upgraded to an iPhone 16, I needed something for easy tripod, selfie, and desk mounting to explore the phone’s video capture capabilities. Using Peak Design cases (which are worth the price for their warranty alone), this kit felt like an obvious choice.The unboxing experience was fantastic—thoughtful, minimal, and well-presented. It immediately gave me confidence in the brand’s attention to detail. The product itself is solid and reassuring, living up to Peak Design’s reputation for quality.In use, it performs exactly as advertised. Paired with a selfie stick, it helps achieve many “gimbal-like” shots, whether down low or up high. The magnetic locking mechanism is firm and secure, ensuring your phone won’t fall off but remains easy to detach when you need to check footage or access the phone. It’s ideal for anyone who wants quick and reliable phone mounting for video work while maintaining easy access.The Creator Kit has several strengths. It’s extremely easy to use, compatible with most photography equipment like ARCA tripods, and effortlessly supports both landscape and portrait orientations. The security of the magnetic lock is impressive, making it a practical choice for creators on the go.However, the price is on the higher side. For similar money, you could purchase a fluid head, making this a less budget-friendly option.Compared to other solutions like clips or cages, this product shines for its speed and portability. It’s perfect for casual iPhone videographers and experimentation, and it’s even handy in an office setting. However, if you need a full “rig” setup with lights, cameras, and batteries, this might not meet your needs.Overall, the Peak Design Mobile Creator Kit is a well-designed, versatile product, but its price tag might deter some buyers. I’d rate it 4 out of 5 stars for its excellent performance and usability despite the cost.
