Can the mirror be used to see your back, not just the back of your head?

I use it for the back of my head only. I would guess by moving the mirror enough you could see a little of your shoulders, but would not purchase the mirror if you wanted it primarily to see your back.

The mirror primarily sees the back of the head, although there is some adjusting to be done that allows some flexibility, probably more like shoulder level.

My mother has this mirror and I asked her. The answer was if you were looking back into a full length (or longer than a bathroom size) mirror you could probably see the upper portion of your back with this.

If you tilt it in a different direction, you can see your back. My objection to these mirrors is that the screw to tighten them wears out too quickly

The mirror head tilts up and down but only on the 9x side. You can also twist the mirror head on the 'stem'. The regular magnification side also tilts but away from the face (so you would have to be under the mirror to see yourself). In the product picture, imagine twisting the mirror head so that you are looking at the regular magnification side.

I really don't know but suspect you can't. Not sure why you would always want the camera on since you would be loosing the middle third of your mirror. Normal operation is the camera is turned on when you are in reverse. Also remember, while this unit is worth what it costs, it is more difficult to see and use when in bright sunlight. Hope this helps.

Not at all. It's a soft mirror. It just makes it so you can't see in from the outside with a dull reflection.

The third eye mirror is mounted to your helmet. It can be rotated and has a arm that also rotates . Its a great mirror and you can easily see what is behind you.

The resolution of the reflection is mediocre (roughened by inconsistencies in the paper) certainly not as a good as a mirror, but better than baking quality aluminum foil. When my head is about a foot away, I can see facial features. If it is 6 inches away, I would say someone could probably guess the reflection was mine.

I am not exactly sure what you mean by a side mirror. If you mean a mirror to use to see the back of your head in another mirror, then I think it won't work well, if at all, because of the magnifying distortion. I need to use a regular mirror to see the back of my head.

Can't say for sure, but it'd probably show a bigger image (at least on the driver's side) than you'd get with a rear-view mirror. I hate to drive without my auxiliary mirror--when I drive someone else's car, I feel naked.

No, not EASILY. You have to move either your head or the mirror so that the bright scene through the rear window is not reflecting in the mirror. It's only a small inconvenience, though.

The hook part of this mirror slips around and rests on the back of your neck. The hook has a plastic covering, as you can see in the picture, and protects you neck. The mirror section has several different ways to adjust it to see different parts of your head front or back. I really like the size of the bar that rests on your chest for support. I hope you will love this mirror as much as I do.

No. It's not a free standing mirror. But u can still use it for that purpose if you clip it in a stand.

I looked at it yesterday.. My husband uses this mirror in the shower. I notice that there is a better (wider) view of the face. Not that it make it look bigger, just that I could see more than just my face without struggling with the mirror, holding it just at a close distance.

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 would. However keep in mind it goes behind your neck so it may get in the way a bit. I have used mine if I'm using a curling iron to see the back and it works well. I really love this mirror.

Kind of. It's a bit tricky, but it can be done. You have to do one side of the back at a time and work around your hands blocking your view, but yes, it can be done.

If you have a mirror already for a rear-facing infant then it works perfectly. I can see everything! (including my blind spots)

Bracket that comes with mirror is made to grip existing rear-view mirror from top and bottom. You could fabricate a simple "hanger" that would slip over the top of the monitor and support the mirror. This would probably look pretty tacky.
