I have the exact same mount. Love it.

Kinda my worry as well. Otherwise I like that it's out of the way, without blocking the view.

Interesting. I thought it would since I saw the airbag behind the pillar cover when running a hardwire.

There is an airbag assembly under the A pillar cover as seen in the photo below. Maybe it deploys in an upward direction away from the bottom where the pro-clip mounts. Looks risky to me, but maybe [MENTION=103267]Saker[/MENTION] can chime in here with his opinion. He actually had his deploy in an accident.

Assembly is there, but it does not deploy from there. I was concerned about this too until someone told me. If you look at the video 1:40 it shows you where it deploys.
I still leave that to the experts though because I am not 100% sure.

Here’s another video of the deployment during a driver side frontal impact. In slo-mo you can see that the driver’s side bag is inflated from top down, starting above the side window, then unfurling down the A pillar toward the windshield. The tail end of the bag doesn’t go all the way down to the dashboard, so it seems that if the clip is at the very bottom of the pillar it may be OK and not pop off.

It deploys as shown in the second video as far as I remember. It does not deploy forward towards the windshield, but fills in between the side curtain and the steering wheel bag.
Keeps you from hitting the A Pillar.
I know all but the passenger front bag deployed. All side curtains!
Oh, BTW..... the drivers side A Pillar Handle Mod did not restrict that air bag on the driver’s side from deployment!

Watch your video again at the 1:39-1:40 time. The bag shoots kind of down or on an angle rearward and down out of the A-pillar.
I don't know how it would affect the bracket. But it does have an air bag that deploys out of that panel.
***EDIT: I didn't read to the end of this thread, so I thought I'd observed something... only to see everyone else saw the same thing. Sorry to be repeating the info!

I thought that at first but it hasn't been an issue for me at all thankfully.

It does not block the view. I understand safety aspects are important, but this is just a phone mount. There are risks involved everywhere we go with our cars. How about other modifications? This includes lift, changing tire size, super charger, headlights, and etc. If you think about it that way, anything could happen.
I had terrible experience with other phone mounts. They kept failing on me.
