I don't remember if anyone has mentioned it (someone most likely has),
but I have tried it with very limited success (or unsuccess!) on a camera.

I had seen these small plastic periscopes at a dollar store a few years
back. Of course I bought two! These had good glass mirrors (not the
aluminized or mylar coated plastic junk), albeit rear surface. It was fun
using them to expand my horizons, or should I say stereobase! :-)

You can also surprisingly expand your horizons using only one
periscope! The perspective mismatch due to the longer light path
doesn't seem to be a problem (at least to me).

You can also use the up/down Viewmagic (by rotating it sideways
and using one end) and I believe (if I remember correctly) the
side by side Viewmagic. Another way is to use those large aerial
mirror viewers.

Anyways, it was interesting to see how some people are into hyper
viewing. Thanks to the original poster for posting the interesting web
page link.
