Product Description
All New iBall 5.8GHz Wireless Trailer Hitch Camera
Do you enjoy going camping or taking your boat out on the water, but hate the long, annoying process of trying to hitch the trailer to your vehicle? Lining it up seems nearly impossible. You either need someone else there to guide you, OR you have to get in and out of your vehicle countless times to make sure you are lined up properly! With the all new iBall 5.8GHz Wireless Hitch Camera, all of those problems are a thing of the past!
Designed in the USA, the iBall Wireless Hitch Camera has been the original wireless hitch camera since 2009. It allows you to hook the trailer up the first time, every time. As an added bonus, it works with both standard and gooseneck trailers. To use, simply power up the camera using the rechargeable lithium ion battery, mount the iBall on to the back of your vehicle (thanks to the magnetic mounting), and you're all set. After you turn on the 3.5” color LCD display (powered by any 12v auxiliary outlet) you will be able to quickly and easily connect your trailer to the receiver hitch in seconds. This unit uses a 5.8GHz wireless transmission to avoid the 2.4GHz Bluetooth interference for a more stable and clearer viewing experience. Note: iBall is primarily designed for connecting your vehicle to trailer at slow speeds. On-highway use, while traveling at high speeds, may diminish performance.

With your phone on speaker the driver can till the camera man which way to point the camera.
I should of spent the money again on one for my truck but instead bought the little camera that mounts above the l. plate. I am limited to just hooking up the trailer and seeing where I am backing up into.
This is the only con I can find with the iBall unit. You can't leave the camera attached to the outside while moving. So you have to mount it each time
you want to use it.
I had hopes that I could place the camera on the rear bumper of my 30' trailer and be able to use it going down the road to monitor traffic conditions behind me especially being able to see when I had clearly passed vehicles and could return to the right hand travel lane. Unfortunately, the distance and barriers between the camera and monitor are too much for this to work. The picture broke up when I tried this. Of course, the product isn't sold with that purpose in mind so I don't consider it a product negative. There is a reason that Camping World has a $600+ camera/monitor setup for that purpose.
My uncle has the same camera and his only negative report was the battery consumption. Packaging indicates that the product should get 2 to 3 hours usage on a 9 volt battery. He reports he doesn't get anywhere near that time. I haven't used mine but on one trip yet so can't confirm his findings.
I like the portability of the iBall setup as I can move it from camping trailer to utility trailer quickly and easily. The overall quality of the camera, especially the depth perception, is better than the rear camera in our Prius.

Big clear screen
Great product
Works well in the cold
My trailer is 34ft and truck is 22. When the vehicles are in motion you will get some distortion due to bumps and uneven pavement, so its not really good to use as a regular review camera. Nice thing was that the view can be rotated to give you different aspects, and finally, both camera and monitor are easy to remove after hitching up. Glad I got this. Recommended.
