Rear View Mirror Hanging Soccer Ball

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.

1 rpm motor is perfect for our 20 mirror ball!

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.

Although I haven't yet gone to the soccer game in the stadium (that's the first definite use I plan for these), I'm sure these binoculars are up to the task of giving a very wide field of view and being plenty bright.A friend bought a pair of Bushnell 8x42 Waterproof binoculars ($45 from ...), and the Nikon binoculars are noticeably (although not remarkably) better, especially in the image evenness across the whole field. The view in the Nikons is slightly brighter, too. I'm VERY happy with the optic quality of the Nikons: the binoculars also come with a decently WIDE strap, obviating any need that I see for buying a separate strap. Also, the Nikons had a thoughtful system for attaching the lens caps to the strap so you don't lose them when they are removed from protecting the lenses.

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!!!

The Eliminator 12” mirror ball is perfect for my stand with the pinspot down on the leg. The 1 RPM motor is better so its not fast. The ball arrived in perfect condition, no mirrors off. It feels solid and put together well. I also got the eliminator motor MBM1RP and the ADJ Pinspot LED II. Its all great together. It shipped fast too!

After years of using DSLR's I recently decided to migrate to a mirror-less camera system. After extensive research I purchased a Fujifilm X-T10, which is simply a joy to use! I wanted a small ball head and after a lot of research, I opted for one from Oben. Initially I purchased the Oben BE-108 but found it to be to small on my Vanguard Alta Pro 263AT. I returned it and ordered the BE-117 which is the perfect size ball head for the Fuji X-T10! I must say, for the price, the build quality is amazing! The ball is very smooth, locks in whatever position you put it in, has a rotating mount, for panning, and the best part is that it is Arca-Swiss compatible. It comes with a quick release plate mount, but the Fuji handgrip fits onto the ball head plate without using the quick release plate mount. I am very satisfied with this ball head and highly recommend it, especially for small mirror-less cameras. And, it will save you a ton of money to use on other gear!

Fits in my suitcase. The adjustable drag for the ball head assures smooth adjustments. Stiff enough for my DSLR. The mirror flapping about was causing issues with my former travel tripod. No mirror induced vibration with this tripod.

Shipping took several weeks (to California), much longer than I anticipated, but the mirror ball arrived very well packed and padded, perfect condition. The mirror tiles are well placed and even. The mounting eye-bolt feels extremely sturdy. I do not have a motor, I’ve just hung the ball from a string, but I’m very pleased.
