I have this mirror on two bikes - good visibility and generally stays put because it is so light. The knuckle joint on the arm is very effective. The plastic band attachment to the bars is good - however, you can't crank the plastic band down - will just strip the plastic teeth - but because the mirror is so light it doesn't move (much) on rough roads - a little electrical tape will keep it rock solid.
Mounting it just below the brake lever allows me to ride the hoods and the lower/mid drops without interference. I can see the mirror clearly when riding the hoods, tops, and drops without having to move my head.
This one just came in the mail this afternoon and I did a short ride with it- So far- this thing is pretty good- it is much lighter than it looks and it does have a very large field of vision. I do need to figure out how I want this thing aimed... there's no reason for it to be showing so much sky or the ground beneath me.
