Can the camera be pointed more downward to actually see my trailer hitch(ball)? Thanks, Keith

No can't point down that much. It does have some pretty good range but you won't get your trailer hitch. Good luck. Pretty good system but would like a bigger screen.

Yes, the camera is adjustable for up/down movement. It also has very near vision so I expect your trailer hitch can be viewed.

Just checked mine and there is some adjustment possible. Not being familiar with your set-up, I can't say for sure it can be adjusted that much. I'm quite pleased with mine.

yes it can just mount it on bottom of plate and reverse the camera on bracket with 4 small screws which takes about 2 minutes. I can see my trailer ball perfect and I am using a 5 1/2 drop hitch on a 2004 Expedition.

Absolutely. That's why I have it and it works great for that. Just be patient since it is not a wired system so you get some interference.

Yes there is a ball joint swivel at the camera base .... So you can fine tune the adjustment

If it's at a different angle (up high or down low) you can adjust it. If it's to the right or the left, the picture will be slightly distorted

Hi, Yeah. Just it is not so easy to adjust the angle of camera since it only can be changed in one direction.

The bolt should be facing up, so it's above the camera. The camera is angled down so you'll be able to see the ground and area behind the vehicle.

There are two 1.5mm (metric) allen set screws which you can loosen to adjust the camera angle.Note that the claimed 170 degree viewing angle is vastly exaggerated. I estimate it to be about half that, in the horizontal direction. Vertical is less, of course, because of aspect ratio.

I just perchased the H20. I'm use to having a view finder. I thought there may be a way to rig some kind of sighting device. The camera already has a means of sighting in. Looking from the rear of the camera, there is an elbow formed to the left side of the flash "hump". If you bracket your subject in this elbow it'll pretty much end up dead center of your shot. Hey, it's not hi-tech but the method works.

It works great if you locate the camera where it can see the ball on your car or truck. I located my camera under the bumber next to the removeable hitch.

I would not try mounting this camera upside down since it was designed for a vertical surface. Am sure you can find an alternative.

I'm not 100% sure of the measurement request, so let me adjust it to say; In it's lowest position the bottom of the ball hitch is 11" off the ground. At its fully raised position the bottom of the ball hitch is 21" off the ground. This would mean that you can adjust the bottom of the ball hitch between 11" to 21" as long as the wheel hasn't sunken into soft ground. ( if the TOP of your trailer ball -on your vehicle- is 21" or higher then your trailer ball will not clear the underside of the trailer hitch without some kind of change.) Hope this helps.

The baby pin has a 1/4 20 thread on it. Most cameras have the same size on them. Technically, you could. It won't provide optimal results, but you can and you can probably get some cool effects. You can't really position the camera without at least a ball mount on it. That may give you more flexibility. Also, I wouldn't put a big rig on it. Just smaller cams.

It's a full ball head that will rotate to allow the camera to shoot straight down ... The field of view would be rather small between legs and the height wouldn't give much clearance though.

The camera is in a fixed position. Pointing froward with a slight downward tilt. It can't be adjusted it is fixed.

I insalled similar camera (the chrome one) with stud facing front and camera facing down. Installed on a truck tail gate. Image is upside down. I should of asked before I bought!

To be honest with you you can't. Sorry. And even if you could the camera would be upside down. The only solution to that is To make a slot on the other side of the oh you can flip it around

Like everyone has said, it is going to depend on the combination of your truck and trailer. The part of the hitch that goes into the receiver tube is an "L" and can either point up or down. I needed it to point up for my trailer. That made it interfere with the tailgate, by 1/2"? Pointing the hitch down would put the trailer tongue too low. Im guessing that it is not recommended... but after I tried out the hitch to make sure it worked like people said it did, I cut off the extra height on the "L" piece. Works great, no interference now.

The camera angle can be adjusted after mounting, but it's a tedious process and would be less frustrating if you can have someone assisting you. Adjusting the camera, getting back in the car to see the change, getting back out to adjust again, etc. can become aggravating after a bit. Place an object 3 feet from the edge of your bumper and use it as a measuring tool being sure it aligns with the third 'distance line' on your monitor. Again, it would be much easier if you have someone adjusting the camera while you sit inside and watch the monitor as the changes are made!
