Ohio E Check 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.

Great little camera. It fits behind my mirror so I can't see it. I just check that the light is on and take off. Connect to my phone no problem.

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.

After many years in the RED ecosystem I am now in the mirror less world with the A7s iii. It is amazing - checking a lot of boxes. Rolling shutter fixed - check. Dynamic range - check. Autofocus great - check. RAW - check. Easy menu - check. Low light - insane. Ibis - check. 12,800 ISO (or greater) is where you need to be for best results in low light.

The best headphones for long bike rides on the road. Use to use regular headphones and constantly check on the mirror for traffic in the back. With these, the natural sound of nature and cars make it easier to enjoy the road and be less worried about checking the mirror so much.

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.

Why do I know this is the best? This is my second Vello remote purchase! My first purchase was a Vello for my Canon 20D. I mainly photograph hummingbirds and need a remote that transmits from any angle/location where I am stationed, especially the rear view of the viewfinder. I've captured many award winning shots because of these remotes. I purchased a Sony A6000 this year and thought I could get away with a remote that pairs with the bluetooth on the camera....guess what?? Those remotes only work when you are facing the front of the camera (check where the sensor is). I need to make adjustments continuously while I shoot and work from the rear of camera to check the shots. The Vello allows me to do this. The Vello is easy to set-up. Lightweight and works in all modes. I have never had a problem! My only suggestion...in the earlier Vello I own, there is a place to put a key ring to hang a lanyard or attach the remote to your belt, but this newer one does not have one. So the remote is another device to put in your pocket...

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

Great for taking outdoor pictures in this Ohio winter.
