Peak Rear View Mirror Backup Camera System

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

I have a Peak design Cuff strap for my mirror less camera. This time I bought a Slide lite that uses a same anchor link. I can easy to swap between Cuff strap to Slide lite in a second !

The whole home backup system with the Smart Panel 2 works well as it gives me a very granular view of where my power usage is on my iPad or iPhone, however, having said that, I am looking forward to installing the EcoFlow PowerSight smart tablet for an even more granular view. With a single battery installed, I am getting around 4 to 6 hours of battery usage every evening depending on what is being used. The battery is currently set to discharge betyween 6 pm and midnight, and set to charge after midnight. Charging to 90% from 50% takesa only around 2 hours.

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.

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.

I really like my new camera. Before I used Canon full-frame mirror system. Sony has a lot benefits. It’s not too heavy. I take this camera everywhere. Also it’s not too expensive like full frame mirror camera, but quality pretty similar. I’m not afraid take this camera to the night club or beach. AF is amazing! It’s very easy to give your friends, who are not photographer and take pictures of your self))) I highly recommend this camera and B&H-who knows what they sell

The Peak system is the easiest system I have found

If you own a camera, you need these, and a peak design strap. It is the easiest system ever created, and i have these on every one of my cameras.

This works really well to "upgrade" the strap that came with my camera. Now I can use it as a backup to my Peak Design strap, and also use it as a strap for a monopod, small gear bag, really anything I can attach an anchor link to. A really slick design that works exactly as advertised. Well done!
