Backup camera mounted in tailgate handle?
Anybody mounted a fixed, non adjustable camera in the tailgate handle? I've seen posts where the adjustable ones were used, but not the fixed.
If you have, how did it work out? Can you see your hitch ball? How is the field of view? Can anyone post pics of the view when the camera is on?

I know this isn't a true fixed camera, but the camera stays put after mounting. I mounted this in my tailgate handle, opposite the key hole. I am very happy with the camera and it's a great price.

I used the constant power and ground from my harness and the camera didn't work at first either. I then realized my truck did not come with a relay to supply power to the harness. I just bought a relay and plugged it into my fuse box where it needed to go and everything worked great.
