got a ripspeed camera from halfords, i use it as a reversing camera rather than rear view, and it works ok, it can be a bit bright during the day but it's one of the best i've seen at night. For £80 as opposed to well over a hundred for some of the ones that are about now i think it was a good buy, it's mounted above the tailgate and looking down towards the towbar. It's all hooked up to a JVC KD AVX-1 Headunit with a built in screen about 3" and i can still see enough to reverse up to a trailer or park even in the middle of the night with just the reverse lights and brake lights for illumination.

it's one of these, it was phased out last year so if anyone has one left it should be going cheap, i paid £200 from halfords coz i was going to buy the one that replaced it and when they bought it out i said that's last years how much do you want for it, and after a bit of haggling agreed at £200.

ex demo one here http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/pro...s_id/4527.html

pics of it mounted although it's not a great pic


if i can i'll get a pic later on with an image from the camera on screen

how far do you go in reverse?
the only time i could think of making use of a camera is when we were green laning and we couldnt go ahead anymore because it was actually a public foot path, so we needed to turn round or reverse for miles. but still, we managed it with someone leaning out the window and saying the usual - go on, go on, WO!

not far, i use it mainly for backing onto trailers and parking sometimes. Can be useful offroad aswell.
