does anyone have any experience with the
Rostra 250-8600 Ford F150/F250/F350/F450 CMOS Camera with Tailgate Handle

i already have the wires ran just need to plug in a camera and am looking for ideas. Let me know any suggestions please.

I have the same one on my truck. Works good, although I have flush mount backup lights in the bumper and it doesn't wash the camera out. I have it hooked up to my DDX9902S.

What ideas/suggestions are you looking for?

I want to put that camera on with rigid sr for my reverse lights. I had another camera prior in the bumper so it's already wired I just need the handle camera to hook in so I was just looking to get some reviews and feedback from people who had it. How was install?

The install was fairly easy. Probably the hardest part was fishing the wire through the tailgate to exit the oblong hole in the bottom. (using a coat hanger or similar helps tremendously). The cable is long enough that the disconnect is by my spare tire. I'll try to get some pics today if the rain holds out long enough.

Here's a few daytime shots











Wire going through tailgate into bed. The disconnect is a few inches inside/under the bed








And the cheapo Amazon flush mount lights

Yea I'll have to do that I like that look

That company also has the same handle/camera combo in an adjustable angle version, but I opted for this one since the field of view is great for hooking up trailers

Here's a night shot. It's a little grainy since the lens is wet from the rain. The flush mounts are quite bright but it's not that bad in real life.
