2007 Ford Edge Box By Rear View Mirror

These radios are amazing. Installed in my Jeep above my rear view mirror and I am stoked about it. It’s small enough to not be in the way but is great for communicating with fellow Jeep’s. I used the ghost antenna so that it didn’t get wiped out by limbs on the trail. I’m thinking of purchasing the 6db antenna to help increase my range. I feel you can’t go wrong with this radio! Will be purchasing another for my sons Jeep.

This box is heavy duty the same as my vehicle FORD truck. Awesome !

In the mid-1980s I bought a Nikon 7.5mm f5.6 circular fisheye. Being an older design (1966) its rear elements protruded into the mirror box. Fortunately my F3 had a hard physical mirror lockup. The external viewfinder for this lens attached to the camera on the original Nikon F/F2’s proprietary flash shoe. I was able to buy an AS-3 flash adapter for the F3. With the F3s mirror locked up I also had to use an hand-held light meter. With amazing depth of foield focusing was never an issue. The old zoom lens had six filters on a wheel. One was a skylight and the other five were strongly colored for B&W film. While I liked the circular results, using the lens was a hassle. I often had my shoes or forehead in the picture. On a sunny day, my images suffered from solar flares. My new Nikon 8-15mm AF-S fisheye has none of those old problems. It fits on my DSLRs without any problem. It doesn’t need an external finder or separate light meter. At the 8mm setting (and lens hood off) I get a circular image very much like the vintage fisheye. The new lens is faster and focusable. Like my 14mm f2.8 Nikkor, this zoom uses gel filters inserted in the rear of the lens. I really don’t like this arrangement. This fisheye is similar in weight and size to the 14mm lens. I am also not fond of the electronic aperture control first seen on G lenses. Without an aperture ring one cannot use this zoom on older cameras. At the longer end of the zoom range (12-15mm) the image fills the (FX) frame and lens hood stays out of the way. This image is similar to my inexpensive Bower (Samyang?) 8mm fisheye with its fixed lens hood (and DX coverage). So far I haven’t used my new lens much but I think I will like it.

The telescope is well made. The Edge HD series contains an added lens for a flat field with a 44mm image circle for full frame cameras. As received it is an f/10 with a long focal length of 2790mm excellent for planetary observation. With a reducer, 1953mm and with the Starizona Hyperstar V4, 540mm! This scope can be configured as 3 different telescopes. It also has mirror locks to manage mirror flop with an aftermarket focuser.

This works well as a head strap but it also works if you want to use it to wrap around something that may be easily scratched. This could mean the side view mirror of a car or maybe just to wrap around your pet. Over all, this product is one to have handy.

This rear cam is small enough to not interfere with your view out your back window. The picture quality is great!!!

I have found that the 29mmx29mm IRIX Edge Gelatin Neutral Density filters fit the rear filter holder on my Canon - EF 11-24mm f/4 L USM Wide Angle Zoom Lens quite nicely.

A number of reviews for the I04PUSB2H hub that appears to be identical to this one complain about the 2 inch cable. I actually like the way that hub and its 2 inch cable work on my Toshiba laptop which has a USB port on the left side whose rear edge is an inch and a half from the rear edge of the computer (slightly under 2 inches when the lid is open). With the 2 inch cable, the usb hub lies neatly behind the computer when it is open, almost like having 3 ports in the rear of the computer and one on the side. If you have a left side port whose rear edge is less than 2 inches from the back of the computer when open, it will work well, otherwise you'll need an extension cable.

Can not complain about a box that saves your rear end when it comes to archiving your life's work.

Using in my 9500 since 2007 and still awesome.
