Extended Rear View Mirror With Backup Camera

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.

It is faster than required by my camera, and I now let my card be my backup for an extended time.

Great small drive, using it to mirror other drive as backup.

I have a 10d with a 35-350 L lens. With the battery pack, the whole set-up weighs 6 pounds, 8.5 ounces, or 2.96 kilos. I have a decent tripod, but even though it can easily handle the weight of the camera, when my tripod is extended fully, or the top bar of my tripod is extended to the side, I get a lot of shake simply from touching the shutter release button. Even with the two seconds of delay that the mirror lock-up/ timer combination gives me, the camera is still shaking when the picture is taken. But not now that I have the RS-80N3! This remote is just what I have been needing for increasing camera steadiness to the best my camera/tripod combination allows. The RS-80N3 is a simple, cabled remote control, nothing more. One button, which acts just like the cameras shutter release, with two stops - one for auto focus to do its beautiful thing, and one for shutter release or mirror lock-up or whatever else you have programmed your camera for - and it does its job well. The button can also be pushed forward and locked when depressed fully, to take as many continuous shots as your camera will allow, or to hold the shutter open when you are shooting with the bulb feature. Small, light-weight, and easy to hold. Im fully pleased with this remote control, and have no negative points to say about it. It is what it is, and it does well what it does.

Great for backup an extended trip.

I bought this to use on my Fujifilm GFX100s when having the rear LCD extended out and horizontal. Essentially to look down at it. But I find I am using it more on this camera and the GFX100 when the camera us a bit too high on the tripod for me to easily look through the EVF - which is often the case. I also find myself using it just regularly to examine composition and focus via the rear LCD. It makes a big difference vs looking at the LCD with no covering. Helps improve shooting and just making looking the image while shooting or afterwards, easier and more fun

This is my second dash camera from Garmin. I use it for a rear view. The size is phenomenal. It doesn't attract attention. Very good software. Voice commands are very well designed and functional. It syncs with the front camera and works very well with the parking cable. The image quality is pretty good.. Higher resolution would require a lot more disk space.

I wanted a sturdy, heavy duty tripod for my view camera, and this is it. I needed something with extended height and firm, rigid legs. I won't be packing it up any mountain trails, but it's perfect for my needs.

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.

Just recently installed the extended eye piece and definitely makes a difference in coverage and view.
