Among the pros that outweigh the cons as far as I'm concerned are low vibration, large true-to-size FOV, and scan by moving head. Plus, I don't dork up the bike with a mirror. I dork up myself instead.
I bought the "Take a LOOK Mirror" yesterday and took it for a ride today. Once again the mirror seems to block a portion of my FOV to the left that I do not find pleasing. The real bother though was that while I could see traffic behind me very well, I could also see the brightness of my own "day glow" yellow jersey while looking over my shoulder. It was almost like having a yellow light shining in my eyes the whole time. I really couldn't deal with that.
When I got home I considered and tried mounting it to the helmet but couldn't seem to find a position that would work. Than I took a look at the photo ( above ) and could see that you have yours bent a little different than mine. I bent mine so it was a little higher. Haven't tried it on the bike yet but I don't think I'll be seeing my jersey which is a big improvement. I can see a little of the wire but that doesn't bother me. This should also be an improvement that will also improve my FOV to the left...hopefully.
