Hi, how are you?
I have just finished modifing my shovel and axe holder to include a rear light and camera. Thanks for the ideas from everyone the other day and to Sam for the drawings. I have now finished it. The shovel and axe just sit there, the light and the camera are both activated when in reverse and both them also have an independant switch.
I am very happy with the set up. The camera is displayed on a 7" wide screen dvd player on the dash.

Crazie,
With the light and camera mounted high on the steel pole I would be concerned about the vibration.
The light and camera could break the pole and fall off.
I would take the vehicle over a rough road and see what the image is like on the screen with the camera on. If it is blurred then the camera is vibrating and will not last long.
I have mounted my camera on the roof rack, which stays on the vehicle all the time, and there is no vibration or blurring on th screen.
Wayne.

HI Wayne
Thanks for the tip, I will give it a go.
This is the most practical place for the camera, on my Jack, and it is now wired in and staying there hahaha The pole is very study, although I am sure there is some movement in the rear door. The light and the camera arent really that high and they dont weigh that much, so i dont think the pole will break. I have made and re-enforce the brackets, so they are super strong.
cheers
Adam
