I ordered the Belkin iPhone Mount with MagSafe for Mac desktops and displays in December, and it came in last week. My initial impression: it’s nice — way nicer than the laptop one.

Here’s the shot from my iPhone on the mount, first with, then without, Center Stage:

Here’s what I like about it:

• It’s compact and folds up nicely
• It’s fully adjustable for tilt, and the head slides so you can adjust the phone to sit closer or further from you.
• It can be mounted on a tripod. This will likely replace All of the other phone tripod mounts I have.
• The MagSafe is quite strong. I have the Peak Design case¹ and the phone stayed mounted no problem.

All-in-all I’m really happy with this purchase. I highly recommend it if you have a monitor and want to use your iPhone as a webcam — whether or not you use Continuity Camera to do it.
