Spotted this.looks like a better position for a rear view camera.
Has any of you chaps fitted one of these already?

I’ve just bought one but not fitted it yet, it arrived only 3days after ordering so great service. I’ll let you know how easy it is to install

Wow, that's a lot and I don't think it looks any better than a 5 quid one tucked under the handle.

Cheers ben
It is a lot of money but it looks like it will give you fuller view of what is behind you.
I wonder if it would be easy to customise one for cheaper.

That’s very tidy. I notice the caddy 4’s are using an integrated boot release and camera but as you point out this should give a good field of vision.

How did you get on with the camera?

I'm looking for one at the moment. I'd prefer a high level one as I will have a bike rack on the back sometimes.

I have ordered one today and a monitor to replace the rear view.

Once it's fitted (and I get the hang of posting pics) I'll show you how it is.
