•   Perfect (from my point of view)

  I've worn a rear-view mirror on my helmet for years. It's indispensable for riding in traffic. I can see at a glance if there are cars approaching, or if there is a (overly) cautious driver who's afraid to pass with less than a full lane clearance, or a driver (usually a young male in a pickup truck), who wants to send me a message that I don't belong on a road by passing with 2 feet of clearance. The mirror on this model is larger than ones I've had in the past, which makes it easier to use. I wouldn't want it one mm larger or smaller. I wear glasses, there's a magic position and angle for the mirror,.... just at the upper left hand corner of my glasses, and peeking over my left shoulder. I've found it very easy to get this mirror properly adjusted... and once positioned, it stays firmly in place. Very lightweight as well.They suggest mounting the base on the inside of the helmet, and I tried it there but didn't like it, so after testing it first with masking tape, I mounted a second piece of Velcro (included with the kit) on the outside of the helmet, with the transverse bar angled outward, and the mirror hanging below. It works perfectly for me in this position.

  This mirror is light as a feather. I got it for my son as a Christmas gift since he bicycle commutes through the city every day. But, before I gave it to him I had to try it out to review it. I didn't want to use the adhesive pads that it came with to adhere to your helmet so I taped it to my helmet for testing purposes.Pro's:1. It weighs next to nothing.2. It is very easy to attach to the helmet. It attaches with a sticky Velcro pad that adheres to your helmet. The mirror attaches to the Velcro.3. It can be removed by detaching it from the Velcro.4. I was able to adjust it to a variety of angles to find the best view to suit my needs. I was even able to adjust it while I was riding.5. The arm of the mirror is strong enough that it doesn't flop around.Con's: I really don't have anything bad to say about this helmet mirror. I wouldn't mind the mirror being a tiny bit larger but that's just being picky. It is large enough to easily see a car or truck on the road.As for my pictures, I don't have a separate bike helmet. I taped the mirror to my whitewater helmet since I use that for whitewater boating and biking. I also can't take pictures of myself and ride at the same time. I took the pictures first and then took the mirror for a ride. I based my review on that ride.Lastly, I purchased this product at a discounted price in return for an honest review. Please note that I too rely on reviews to make my purchasing decisions. I always review honestly, good or bad, and would never award 5 stars to an inferior product. I hope you found my review helpful.

•   Large mirror surface

  The size of the mirror surface is much better than most helmet mirrors which adds greatly to safety. One the reviewers mentioned that the mirror doesn't flop around. I have found the opposite. The Velcro mounting allows the mirror to vibrate, which makes it harder to see what is behind you. To remedy this I bent the mount plate to fit the contour of the inside side of the helmet and epoxied it in place. The thin arm still has some vibration but it is tolerable.

  "Fnova Pro Star Bike Helmet Mirror with Flat Acrylic Reflective Surface & Fully 360°Adjustable & Metal Extremely Lightweight Construction, Bonus 2 Velcro Pads for Cyclist" is a good quality bicycle helmet mirror. It is very light weight and super easy to use. It comes with adhesive pads to stick to the helmet and they worked great. The mirror attached to the sticky velcro pad which then gets attached to the helmet and since it is light weight it stays steady. It is easy to remove as well. It has a strong arm and looks durable.It is easy to adjust this mirror at various angles, even when riding. The mirror provided a good visibility and wide view. It is easy to see a car coming from behind. Overall it is a good quality mirror. I am satisfied and will recommend it.Disclaimer: I purchased this product at a discounted price in return for an honest and unbiased review.

•   It attaches to my helmet very easily. But what I like the most about this ...

  This bike helmet is a life saver, quite literally! It attaches to my helmet very easily. But what I like the most about this mirror is the quality. It keeps a slim profile, so that it does not create a larger blind spot. It is extremely light weight as well. I can adjust it any way needed and it does not move unnecessarily. It holds very steady on my helmet and does not wobble around. I can rely that it will be where I need it to be in order to stay safe! It is also incredibly clear due to the acrylic mirror that they have used. It is easy to switch this mirror between my regular helmet and my special racing helmet. This is a must for any biker! I received this product in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

•   It is easy to adjust and once adjusted

  It has a Chrystal clear mirror. I think as it is so light, it doesn't bounce much. It is easy to adjust and once adjusted, stays where it is supposed to. As soon as I used it, I bought one for my wife's bike helmet, also!
