Here's my unpopular opinion about phone-mount bottles: almost all of them put the magnet in the wrong place. They stick it on the body, halfway down. So your phone ends up at chest height, or lower, and you spend the whole call, the whole set, the whole recipe looking down.
We put it in the cap. On top. The phone sits at eye level, where you'd actually hold it. That one decision is the whole reason Aura exists, so I want to defend it properly.
The magnet isn't the feature. Every bottle in this category has a magnet. Where it sits is the feature.
Eye level, not down at your knees
Film a set at the gym with the magnet on the body and you're shooting your own shins. Prop a phone on the cap and the camera's where your face is. Same magnet, completely different object. FaceTime, follow-alongs, filming: all of it works because the phone is up top.
Twist the cap, change the angle
Because it's the cap, you can turn it. No clamps, no clip-ons, no pro-tripod rig bolted to the side. You twist; the angle changes. That's it. It also means the cap is the part that has to be perfect, which is why it took eighteen versions, and why six of them leaked before one didn't.
It still has to be a great bottle
None of this matters if the thing sweats on your desk or tastes like metal. So: double-walled stainless, vacuum-sealed, leakproof when it's closed. The phone mount is the reason you notice it. The bottle is the reason you keep it.
That's the conviction. If you disagree, tell me. I read every reply.
