Checked this out on several sites. Looks like one of those things that works better on paper. First off, it's not removable, so, like you said, it's going to be in the way quite a bit. Also, a lot of complaints on build quality (cheap, especially relative to its cost) and the fact that it mounts with adhesive, so once it's on, you're stuck with it (pun only partly intended). Don't think I'd buy one.

Mmmmm… You got me thinking about it again… It may not be such a good idea after all. I may try and make one myself which is removable. I'll wait till I get my new P7000 and see how I could easily fit it and remove it without damaging the camera. After all, holding a small mirror is no big deal :o)

Thanks !

"In the way" looked obvious, but low quality I wouldn't have guessed. Looked like a simple metal tool. The adhesive bit was in the description, but they kinda dismissed it. Good to know.

Seems like it would be in the way every shot except when you're actually using it.

Looks well constructed, though.

Since it's also a good protection for the screen, I think I will get it.

Thanks !

I could see this being very useful in certain situations but I don't know if I would pay 20$. I mean if it were maybe $10 + S/H I'd probably do it.

I have spotted this accessory on the Internet: **Link Removed**

That's a pretty neat idea I think. I did use a hand-held small mirror in the past but it was a bit difficult to hold it stable. This Flipbac seems to be just the right thing.

Has anyone tried it ? Is it worth it ? (The cost is about $ 20.00 + p&p)

Thanks !
