About the Author

Roger Swainston is one of the foremost marine-life artists in the world, with more than 25 years of artistic and scientific endeavour. His paintings are renowned around the world for their accuracy and vibrancy.After training as a zoologist at the University of Western Australia, Swainston spent several years in the Department of Ichthyology at the Western Australian Museum, working on the taxonomy of fishes and the re-cataloguing of the museum's extensive collection of specimens.

In the ensuing years he has taken part in scientific surveys of a wide range of environments: from the deep waters off the North West Shelf to the inshore waters of the southern coast of Australia and the coral reefs of Papua New Guinea. As expedition artist with a team of international scientists, he spent two months surveying the fish life of the remote Clipperton Atoll in the far eastern Pacific. Later he worked with the Natural History Museum of Paris and Pro-Natura International, portraying the biodiversity of the marine environments and freshwater streams of Vanuatu. More recently he has accompanied scientists surveying the biodiversity of northern Mozambique and Madagascar.

Swainston has dived, snorkelled and painted fishes right around the coast of Australia and in many other locations worldwide, including the Mediterranean, Red Sea, Caribbean, and areas throughout the Indian and Pacific oceans. For many years he has closely monitored a number of sites on Ningaloo Reef, off Western Australia, spending countless hours under water drawing the reefs and observing and photographing fishes to produce panoramic scenes of the environments. He has also worked extensively with professional fishers around Australia, studying their catches and fishing methods.

His work has been included in many well known field guides to fishes, including Sea Fishes of Southern Australia, Marine Fishes of North western Australia, Reef Fishes of New Guinea, Freshwater Fishes of New Guinea and Fishes ofthe Eastern Pacific. He has also illustrated major scientific works, such as Sharks and Rays of Australia and guides to the Emperors and Snappers of the world, as well as contributing illustrations to numerous other publications. His artworks have been used by numerous scientific institutions, including the Smithsonian Institute, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), and the Natural History Museum of Paris, as well as many government environmental and fisheries agencies both in Australia and abroad.

Swainston has held solo exhibitions in Sydney and Fremantle, and in France. His paintings are held by private collectors around the world, and by institutions including the Ministry of the Environment and the Musée des Arts et Traditions Populaire in France, the Oceanographic Institute of Monaco, the National Archives of Australia, and the Western Australian Museum. Several documentaries about his underwater work in the Red Sea and on Ningaloo Reef have been widely broadcast internationally.Roger Swainston presently lives and works in Fremantle, Western Australia, with his partner Catherine and their three children.

Perfect Combo of Speed, Style, and Stability!
Color: Black, Set name: With Cable
This Anker MagGo charger is exactly what I was looking for! It charges my iPhone 17 at the full 15W speed with MagSafe, and the magnetic connection is super strong—my phone snaps right into place and stays secure even when I bump the desk. The stand design is a major plus. It holds the phone at the perfect angle for FaceTime, video watching, or just checking notifications without picking it up. It also looks great—sleek, minimal, and very premium-feeling. No loud fans, no overheating, just fast, reliable charging. Anker never disappoints when it comes to quality, and this MagGo charger is no exception. Definitely worth it if you want a MagSafe stand that delivers on both form and function.

Perfect. Stylish & Convenient, Go with White!
Color: Black, Set name: With Cable & Adapter
This Charger Stand for MagSafe-compatible iPhones offers a sleek and modern way to keep your phone powered up. I've been using it for a few weeks now. I recommend getting the white, so you can better see it in a dark bedroom to mount your phone. What I Like: The magnet is pretty strong. My iPhone snaps into place as long as you center it, feels secure once attached (with a MagSafe case). I've had no issues with it slipping or falling off. It has a definitive 'click' to rotate which is nice for those of us who want a display that is at eye-level. Compact & Stylish Design: The stand has a small footprint and looks great on my nightstand. The minimalist design doesn't take up too much space. I can place it close enough to the bed and use the 'standby' mode to display my clock and temp in red all night. Fast Charging: It's definitely convenient for overnight charging or topping up throughout the day. Adjustable Viewing Angle: The stand allows for a decent range of viewing angles, which is great for watching videos or making FaceTime calls while charging. Build Quality: The materials feel premium and well-constructed. It seems durable and like it will hold up over time. The Anker MagGo is a bit on the pricier side compared to some other MagSafe chargers. While the quality is generally good, the cost might be a barrier for some. I would rather pay for the Anker name/brand than some off brand company. Charging Speed: It charges my phone just fine overnight. Requires a MagSafe Case: You'll need a MagSafe-compatible case for the magnetic connection to work effectively. Overall: The Anker MagGo is a solid MagSafe charging stand that offers a convenient and stylish way to charge your iPhone. The strong magnetic hold, adjustable viewing angle, and compact design are definite pluses. And being made by a well-known brand is comforting. You ARE charging batteries, so be careful with off-brands.

High quality and underrated charger
Color: White, Set name: With Cable
It’s really great and works exactly as it should. I thought the rotating charging pad might just be a gimmick, but it’s actually pretty useful. I can easily adjust the phone’s angle and position when I’m browsing or on video calls while it’s charging. The magnet is very strong, and it can be a little tough to remove the phone. Still, that’s probably a good thing since it keeps it from falling off by accident.

The fit is perfect and is a sold mounting system
Custom fit for 2022 Tacoma, fit exactly. Very sturdy mount and took seconds to install. All metal with the exception of a adjustment knob. Quality hardware. More expensive than a lot of mounts but most are cheap plastic and are not nearly as solid and sturdy as the Offroam.

FINALLY a decent phone mount!!!
I’ve tried about 5 different phone mounts in my 2018 Tacoma and ended up throwing them all away. They’re either too bulky, too weak to hold the phone, awkward or just won’t stay in place. I won’t install a holder that requires adhesive or screws into the dash (or anywhere) in my truck. This holder is the answer. Fits perfectly, doesn’t damage your vehicle. Holds the phone really solidly. This is a very sturdy mount. It’s a bit pricy in comparison to other phone mounts out there. IMO, it’s worth every penny. Materials are far superior to your typical mount, which I’m sure drives up the manufacturing costs. Again, worth every penny. Also, it’s a small business based in the US. Love supporting our small businesses. GREAT MOUNT!!!
