Product Description
A classic tool for camping, backpacking, and emergency preparedness, the lightweight ust StarFlash Micro Signal Mirror has a built-in precision aiming system for accurate signaling. In addition to using it for emergency signaling, it’s handy for personal grooming as well. The virtually unbreakable Micro Mirror also features a lanyard hole for convenient attachment to gear, and it works even in overcast conditions or at night with moonlight or other light sources. 1 – Stand facing the sun or other light source in an open area with a clear view of the sky and, if possible, the horizon 2 – Reflect light from the light source onto your hand or other nearby surface making sure to not block the light from the light source to the mirror surface. 3 – Slowly bring the mirror toward your eye until the mirror touches your cheek. Look through the star at the reflected light on your hand (or other surface). A bright glowing spot will show in the star. This is the aim indicator. 4 – Holding the mirror close to your eye, and still looking at the aim indicator, slowly turn and angle the mirror until you “place” the aim indicator directly on the object you wish to flash. If no target is in sight, continually sweep the horizon. NOTE: The StarFlash Micro is NOT a floating mirror.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2018These are great. They are smaller than standard, I’d say about half the size. If I end up like Gilligan and try to signal a passing aircraft with it, I’ll send you a message in a bottle with an update on how it worked.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2024Just in case SHTF really happens.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2024I was surprised when it arrived how small it was. It wasn't much bigger than a quarter. I thought the mirror was smudged and scratched but then I realized there is a plastic peel-off layer and then underneath is a very shiny mirror. It is very reflective and I'm sure would work to signal and get someone's attention in a survival situation. I'm only rating it 4 stars because of the misleading picture of it in the woman's fingers. She must have tiny fingers! I would have known if I looked at the dimensions in the description and the photos in the review. For the price, I thought they could make it 3" x 2".
- Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2024Seems to be good quality construction.
A little smaller than expected; honestly will probably look for a larger mirror to replace this one.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2023Purchased for my son to use in his outdoor/wilderness survival kit, for camping with his Boy Scout Troop. He needed to create a small survival kit to carry during a backpacking trip, and this signal mirror was the perfect size (small) and weight (light) for his backpacking kit.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2024A must have when hiking in the back country. Easy to use, lightweight, and bright what's not to like.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2024The exact measures for putting into the wazoo cache belt buckle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compacto y potente
Este espejo para señalar de UST es uno de los mejores productos de la marca. Sugiero que se cubra la superficie reflectaste para que no se dañe y en caso de usarse funcione de la mejor manera posible. Tiene la mirilla de buen tamaño y aunque es "micro" el espejo puede reflejar bastante bien la luz solar o artificial. Este espejo para señalar es compacto y potente, altamente recomendable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Small size but great quality and very light weight.
Very nice, small and lightweight signal mirror for your survival / emergency kits. I like the lanyard hole for attaching a few bits of kit together.
