Oldie but Goodie
"Above the neck" rearview mirrors are the only way to really switch angles & reduce vibration for man-powered vehicles. High-priced or low: most of them are awful. I've used this one since the 90s & it's either the best of a bad lot or a perfect example of the KISS engineering principle.The "Take-a-Look" appears flimsy: and it is. But it has the right tensile strength-to-weight ratio to stay stable. Plus it just tends to survive & functionally recover from damage better than more complicated/sturdier-looking options I've tried that merely break.Attach the "Original" version to a hat/helmet brim for optimal view ranges.Using the "Compact" version or affixing either model directly to your glasses/ cranium will severely limit view & induce eyestrain, so YMMV.Mounting it will require some customization on your part. Use small zip ties regardless to prevent losing the thing & allow it to merely dislodge rather than getting bent in a bump or a crash.
Thank you for your feedback

4.0 out of 5 stars The mirror is much smaller than I expected

This is the compact one. Perhaps the original would have been a better choice. I had to return it but it was well made and the mirror had excellent reflection.
