Lamicall 15W MagSafe Car Mount Review: Modest Charging, Strong Magnetic Grip

This is the English edition of a review from my Japanese YouTube channel, iestaLife. I review gadgets from my home studio in Japan, so product links go to Amazon Japan.

Quick take

The Lamicall MagSafe car mount clips to an air vent and charges wirelessly. Charging is not fast — I measured about 9 V at 1 A — but it keeps the battery from draining while you navigate. The magnet is strong enough that hard shaking did not knock the phone off.

What I tested

Lamicall 15 W MagSafe wireless charging car mount, vent-clip version (2,197 yen in a time sale at the time of recording). A dashboard version is also sold.
In the box: the mount, a metal ring for non-MagSafe phones, a protective sheet, an alignment guide and a manual
Powered from Lamicall's 57 W 3-in-1 cigarette-socket charger

What I found

A USB meter showed about 9 V and 1 A. For a quick top-up, plugging in a USB-C cable is much faster.
With the air conditioning on, the phone stayed cool. In winter, warm air from the vent heats the phone, so close that vent or unplug the charger.
To remove the phone, hold the mount and slide the phone sideways. Pulling straight out stresses the vent.
The clip grips the movable louver. Fine for a phone; for a tablet, choose a mount that fixes to the non-moving part of the vent.
No problems after using it for a while.

Who it's for

Drivers who use navigation and want the battery to stay topped up without plugging in a cable each time.
Not for anyone who needs a fast charge during a short drive.

The video is in Japanese. The in-car installation starts around 6:30.

Limitations

The charging figure is a single reading with my iPhone and USB meter. Vent shapes differ between cars, so check that a vent clip fits yours. Prices are Amazon Japan's at the time of recording.
