Decent practice mirror?

I'm looking to pick up a three-way practice mirror. There seem to be lightweight portable ones for sale at the dealers, but I'd like something that's sturdy and well-designed enough to be a fixture—and inexpensive enough for me to actually buy. Anyone know of something good on the market? I've looked at some options from regular housewares stores and will probably go that route eventually, but wondered if anyone has any experience with a particular model they can recommend.

better to film yourself and watch it back - you can distract yourself then doing moves etc but camera wont lie...

If you want inexpensive then you can try the DIY route. I made mine using mirrors from IKEA. 30cmx30cm pack of 4 was like $10. Get some small hinges and construct your tri fold. Should run under $20. My first one I just used duck tape but it looks nice with metal hinges.

Exactly. And you cover the back with shelf liner to protect it further. I didn't use hinges. Just strong tape. Been going on for years.

I much prefer webcams nowadays but do occasionally use them in certain situations. https://a.co/d/0eui7Pkx

Usually I use a 3 way mirror to learn something, and then my Ipad to record different angles of performance/rehearsal.

This is the way, three cameras & three screens.
