    Furrion Vision S Question

    On the Vision S, is the angle of the Camera adjustable?

    I want to use it as a rear view camera so I don’t really need it to point at the rear bumper, I would like it to be set so the horizon behind me is in the picture. Does anyone know if this can work?

    Thanks

    The camera tilts up/down some.

    Seller on Amazon says:
    Question: will the camera rotate up to straight out or higher. My trailer is a pop up A frame and where I would mount it is not perfectly vertical
    Answer: The camera for the sharkfin bracket will only rotate up to 45° maximum, however the camera for FOS07TASR rotates up to 90°, or straight out.

    I have one, yes, it can be tilted up and down. Horizon? I'd guess yes, but I haven't gone that far. Mine lets me see close behind me (not bumper, but close) but I'd *guess* I can still see 40' or more behind me. It's a pretty wide-angle view.

    Installed the Furrion Vision S system today. The camera will tilt more than enough for what I wanted. The picture is a bit fish eyed but quite usable. The camera tilt combined with the fish eye allowed me to set the camera so that I can see above the horizon behind while still seeing part of the rear corners of the trailer. It should be quite satisfactory, I just need to learn how to tell distance because “objects are closer than they appear” most assuredly applies.
