Just found a similar mirror lens device on eBay for less than $3. Will give it a try and let you know. Might take a while as it will be shipped from China.

I feel it fine to take a pic of your food, but when you jump up and take the menu, and outside, yes, that's a bit obvious. My mall the outside part with the cute shops and restaurants doesn't allow pictures, I was reprimanded taking a picture of BJ's , security said we don't allow pictures, it disturb's the customers coming in. Don't the owners writing the instructions know this....it also puts us at risk and easy to tell we're the shopper.

I received this device and it definitely has possibilities. It allows you take a picture with you smart phone without holding the phone up. It just looks like you are texting someone.
However to use it I need to attach an adhesive ring over the lens on my iPhone. The ring than attaches magnetically to the mirror lens. I’m reluctant to do that as I’m concerned that the adhesve could damage the phone lens itself. It doesn’t appear that the ring can be easily removed if I don’t like it. The ring cannot be adhered to my case as it won’t fit that way. I did just hold it in place to test it and the pictures were fine. They are inverted but I found an app that can flip them.
I found another inexpensive mirror lens on Amazon that clips onto the phone. I have ordered it but the product is shipped from China so I have to wait another month to try it.

Non related to mystery shopping question...I have a burning desire to know...
I ordered an item from china not long ago. With shipping included it was $1.54. It was a battery tester and too large to fit in a flat envelope. How can they ship all the way from China for that price? If I wanted to mail that tester to my neighbor it would cost more than i paid including shipping???

I can now take photos while holding my phone down at waiste level as if I’m texting. I do have to be careful as it can slide around a bit but definitely seems workable. i did not have the color problems that alake58 reported above. Now all I need is a shop that requires pictures without being too obvious to staff. I would put the link to the Amazon page here but don’t want it to appear like I’m promoting this. If you do a search for a phone spy, periscope mirror lens on Amazon you should find it. $6 shipped but prices do change often on Amazon.

Is this the one that doesn't turn your photos upside down and is not so much a mirror as a triangular shaped prism inside the clip? Mine also degraded the photo quality to where the photos were blurry. Maybe I need to try ordering again because I received a bad one. Mine fell apart the 2nd time I tried using it. :-(
Mine appears to have two mirrors in it and the image is not upside down. It came in a yellow box that said “90 Degree Lens” on it.
