Securview Mirror/Monitor

How weird. Kind of like hearing about the bad fates of all those people in the Potlergeist movies.

I can't remember if anyone was fatally injured, but I'm pretty sure there were fatalities and maybe loss of the whole crew. I did a cursory search to try to find it again and didn't turn up much. The NTSB website didn't even have a report on the incident, but it happened.

Here's the NTSB report on the one pictured in my gallery, for example...

By the way, I was wondering when the rear-view mirror being in the way was going to come up. If this gadget has one that is bigger, that is a very legitimate concern. I think the mirror needs to be mounted higher on the glass. I have also had problems with this, but no close calls yet.

FWIW, the stock mirror has two ball joints so that you can move it up and still keep it perfectly vertical. It just takes some pushing to overcome the initial resistance. I moved mine up about half an inch, but I have my v1 above it so I couldn't push it any farther. I imagine it could go another inch or so.

Yep, been there done that, but even so it is just mounted kinda low.
