Hi guys, it’s André, If you’re looking to take advantage of the MagSafe features on
your iPhone 12 or 13, why not try these two Halolock accessories.
This is the Halolock magnetic wireless car charger and this
is the Halolock tripod mount adapter both from ESR.
Both of these products are compatible with all iPhone 12 and 13 versions
and any phone with the added Halolock universal ring available separately from ESR.
First, let’s have a look at this magnetic car charger, with most chargers, their way
of holding your phone in place is to grip onto the edges of the phones, with this car holder
and charger you are able to take advantage of the MagSafe technology within your iPhone,
whether that is without a case or with the Magsafe compatible case like this ESR cloud soft case,
which I’ll link to my review video up their and in the description below.
This will allow you to magnetically connect your phone to the mount which now makes it
easier to connect and remove the phone with just one hand without the need of having to
fumble about with adjustable grips, while at the same time making sure that your phone is
both secure and protected and when you are travelling on a bumpy or uneven surface,
the phone isn’t going to suddenly remove itself from its dock.
So far, I haven’t found an uneven road surface,
speed bump, pot hole that has been able to dislodge the phone from the mount.
If you want to know just how strong the magnetic attraction is, providing your phone is using an
official magsafe case or one of ESR’s own Halolock cases, it is strong enough to hold the weight of
6 iPhone 13 Pro Max’s, bold claim, it would be interesting for this to be put to the test in a
rally car, if you’re watching this and are going to take that challenge, just let me know in the
comments below, what terrain can beat an iPhone and the Halolock magnetic wireless car charger.
This mount will mainly connect and clamp to your car via the vent, which depending on your car
can either be horizontal or vertical, as the clamp itself can be rotated as required and
then securely held in place by the rest support arm which further stabilises the whole mount.
When in place and the phone attached to it, you are able to fully adjust your phone’s
orientation thanks to the 360-degree ball joint, which makes transitioning your phone
from portrait to landscape orientation easy and secure with the security of those magnets
always holding your phone in place no matter which angle it is held in.
To ensure one touch mounting and charging, via the supplied USB-A
to USB-C cable which you get in the box, plugged into the bottom of the mount,
you are able to also charge your phone and if you have a compatible adapter or
USB socket in your car, you get access to fast charging as well, otherwise without
that fast charging adapter, you’re just going to get the standard wireless charging speeds.
I use this in my car, for mounting the phone only thanks to the great battery in the iPhone 13 Pro
but it’s nice to know that when and if I do need to charge it, then it can be done quickly.
Never underestimate those few seconds saved either side of your car journey when you can effortlessly
put in and take out your phone, and when you are driving and in a safe and legal manner, follow
those road navigations, which can also be done easily in which ever orientation you want compared
to many grip mounts which only restrict you to portrait orientation while giving you that piece
of mind that your phone isn’t to simply fall off when you got over that speed bump too quickly and
it’s all thanks to the stable and fully adjustable Halolock Magnetic Wireless car charger from ESR.
Next, is the Halolock photography phone tripod mount adapter, which,
like me you do a lot of content creation with your iPhone,
and just like the car mount before, are used to the common grips that hold your phone in place,
why not take advantage of the Magsafe capabilities of your iPhone with a tripod mount like this.
I’m not going to go in depth about this like the car mount as the technologies and holding strength
of the Halolock magnets provides exactly the strength properties
as that one as well as the adjustment positioning about the 360-degree ball
joint allowing quick and easy access and removal of your phone from the mount.
This provides a magnetic upgrade for a whole range of different mounting
accessories thanks to the 1/4 inch threaded hole at the bottom of the mount meaning
that it is compatible with many tripods, selfie sticks, monopods and ring lights .
One of the only downsides to this mount, which I do see with many accessories that mount to the
phone in the middle, particularly with this iPhone 13 Pro, even though of all the iPhone 12 and 13
series of phones that this is compatible with the iPhone 13 Pro is the only one that isn’t fully
compatible with it and I’m assuming it because close proximity of the mount to the lens module,
resulting in when you are using the wide and ultra wide lens, you’re going to get that mount in your
shot which means that you will either have to crop it in post or zoom in, but the concept is
there for the other iPhones, I still find it useful and secure for everything I use it for.
Due to the weight of the phone and the design of the mount,
it cannot be used on its own freely standing with the phone attached,
otherwise it will obviously fall over, but there are ways around this if your doing
tabletop shots for example like using various attachments or even mini tripods.
As is mentioned earlier, those few seconds that products like these
shave off every time you use them and the convenience and variety that MagSafe
brings to your iPhone whether it be through accessories that help or add to your experience,
I will leave the links to both of these ESR products in the description below.
If you want to see what I think of the Halolock case that makes this connection so strong
and is much more cost effective compared to Apple’s own Magsafe cases
