The Dragon Road Car 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.

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 also picked up this camera for the rear of my car and it nice and compact enough that you can fit anywhere.

This flashlight is very bright and is handy in the car as a road hazard warning.

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.

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.

Many of the road cases are either heavy wooden things or monster blow-molded plastic. This Gator case is tough plastic and isn't any bigger than it has to be. Also it's light but sturdy with an aluminum frame around both the front and the back with steel strips for the mounting screws to thread into. I use it for my organ rig with three heavy power amps (haven't graduated to light class-D amps yet) active crossover for horns, mid-bass and sub, and a line level mixer to feed the keyboards into. I braced the amps with brackets to the rear rails and it's solid. Heavy, but nothing's going anywhere. The sidewalls are doubled to provide support when lifting by the side handles. Room left for a power conditioner. The rear rails are also handy because I mounted a 1U panel with all the XLR jacks, Speakon outs and even power connector so all cables terminate where I can see them instead of buried inside the case. Setup is quick and foolproof.

Have used it in a moving car mounted on the cieling near the rearview mirror and managed to capture the dialog from the driver, passenger and even from the back seat. Much better than lavs when talent are wearing seatbelts.

Exactly as described. Hooked up the usb-to-lightning cable and hdmi. This is used in my car so I can mirror my i6 to the in dash nav (pioneer nex6100).

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