Rear View Mirror For Vans With No Window

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

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.

The reason why the Telrad is so great is because it so simple. No maginification - what you see through its window is the same view you see with your naked eye. Stars can be located now within seconds instead of stressfull minutes (hours, when I first started). It's my number one accessory, even ahead of Star Sense. If you want simplicity and an enhanced observing session, get one of these.

Easy to install, although I wish Garmin would come with a mirror mount instead of just suction for window. I did find one that works with it. With car safety features I’m limited to where I can mount it. Easy to figure out how to turn off or on features I don’t need…lane departure etc. I like that can save it take a pic, etc.

I use this in the rear window with a 67W in the front. They work together well and are constantly looking out for me... One warning.... I used the suction mount successfully in the front but not in the rear. Garmin doesn't warn you that the suction mount might not work in the rear window due to the embedded rear window heating element which means the glass surface might not be totally smooth. It is not a heat issue... it's the perfect surface needed for the best suction. They even show it mounted on rear heating elements in their video, but we proved it does not stay. If/when you use their small glue mount, try to find the best place where it also won't be mounted on top of heating elements. FYI, you can remove it if necessary, but you can't re-use it once you do. Nice that they give you an extra one...

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've used Lenspens for years & will continue to do so! ... Cleans my lenses, view window & filters with ease, making for a clean & clear view! ...

No steaks or smears, cleaned mirror perfectly

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.

I use this mainly for filming sports from press boxes. Because of the short spread, I'm able to get the camera out of the window so my view is unobstructed. I highly recommend the Benro Hi Hat if it's in your budget.
