I'm looking for something that makes it easy to hand a mirror and take it down when needed (it will be outdoors). Is it easy to slide the mirror on and off?

If the mirror is heavy it will be rather hard to hang whatever method you use. I've used it to hang headboards and a mirror both of which are heavy. Once hung they were very secure. It requires a flat wall. I wouldn't say it's easy but the system works well and seems durable. Poor directions are my only complaint on the product.

Absolutely the best for hanging anything securely. I bought it to hang a heavy mirror. Very easy to install and remove the mirror.

Completely easy to take on and off this bracket! Product is aluminum so won't rust but may need cleaning from time to time.

Yes. One portion is attached to the wall. The other to the mirror. Once hung, just lift it up and off like taking a hanger off a clothes rack.

The mirror from the outside snaps in the back easily. You have to remove from the inside of the car the triangle plastic piece and there are only 3 bolts holding down the mirror. As soon as you loosen them the mirror comes out. It is a very easy installation. It only took me 10min.

Slide it on and off the magnet and you will be fine. If you try to pull it straight away it's much harder than just sliding it up or down.

TBH its a little finicky to unclip the front and slide it off. I would not count on it lasting a long time through many cycles- there are small plastic tabs on the front plate that hold it on. The back is sturdy but if the front isn't holding it on you would have to use tape or something.

It's easy to detach the mirror and collapse the frame in about 5 minutes. This is how long it takes to throw it in the back of our car or garage, for example. It's indeed made to do this repeatedly. It was designed and tested for use by nomads on the Himalayan Plateau, so it's well suited for either long-term outdoor use or transport and storage.

Yes. It's very easy to remove. So easy in fact that the holder oftentimes "removes" itself and ends up falling on the front seats (if you are lucky) or on the floor. Do yourself a favor and look for another option.

The sun shade folds back. I don't think it's designed to come off, but I suppose you could snip it off if you really wanted to take it off permanently. This is a great product, by the way. Very light and easy to steer... Both my little girl and boy love playing with it. My only little peeve is that the seat cover comes off easily from the bottom, so it kind of just hangs, but it doesn't affect much in terms of functionality... Just me being anal :)

It slides off so you can take it with you. I have had mine for a while and it has worked flawlessly!

No, not really. I did not buy it for the mirror. With my glasses off, I could not see well enough to do anything anyway.It really isn't too bad, but the mirror is not clear either. You could probably wipe it off enough to shave with it if that was your desire. I put this in our fifth wheel to eliminate clutter in a very small space. I also do not like bottles bouncing around when we are traveling down the road.

I have not tried to remove the mirror as I find it invaluable when riding in traffic or on bike trips when I am trying to keep track of my fellow bikers who are behind me. The mirror can be swung out of the way when you don't want to use it. Also it can swing it inside the helmet for safe, compact packing.

It is very easy. Once you know the direction to almost twist it on itself you're good. It can be done by one persone.

I have used this type of mirror for over twenty years, and currently have four of them in use (homes in different parts of the country). You could pull the mirror off of the helmet mount by pulling the ball out of the socket. You run the risk of breaking that socket/ball or greatly reducing the tension of the socket/ball coupling which would possibly resulting in the mirror flopping/moving during use. I HAVE NOT tried to remove and reattach any of the mirrors I have owned.

It is definitely NOT a quick release. It is mounted to the mirror post by allen screws and a collar clamp. The verticle adjustment is also done with allen screws. I can tell you that it feels very solid.

I have had the same problem with many makeup mirrors. I use a makeup sponge, wedge-shaped to keep the mirror where I want it, and it is easy to move from mirror to mirror.

If you lay it down carefully it won't break but may be mal-adjusted when you go to use it. I lean the other side against a wall. Mine fell over in soft dirt and it survived with nothing but a bent screw. Keep in mind that this is so inexpensive that you can really afford to get a spare. It's is hands down the best mirror I have ever used. Fragile? Yes, but works so well!! You could always get some rebar and build a cage for it if you treat your bike like junk. That would save it.

Sorry about last answer. I was thinking about another mirror I had purchased. For this one, I just use batteries and remove them when not traveling.

The handle is removable, so the mirror can lie flat or be hand held. It is great for traveling.
