The Swift Hitch aligner gives you a second pair of eyes so you can quickly align your vehicle's hitch ball with your trailer's coupler. It eliminates trailer hookup headaches like getting in and out of your vehicle, relying on a spotter, and accidental collision. The camera wirelessly transmits video to the hand-held monitor, and both are battery powered - which means no complicated wiring is needed for installation. And the camera's place-and-point design lets you reposition it for each job.
Using the system is easy. Attach the camera to your tailgate - the magnetic base makes it simple to place the camera wherever you need it - and point it at your hitch ball. Hop in the driver's seat, and use the monitor to watch your progress as you back up your vehicle. No getting out of the truck to check, no deciphering the hand signals of your significant other, and no running out of patience. Once the hitch ball and coupler are aligned, all that's left to do is hookup and hit the road.
For gooseneck and fifth-wheel trailers, attach the camera to the back of your cab for a helpful look into the bed of your truck as you back up to the trailer.
Not only can the Swift Hitch be used when hitching up, but it is also great for hooking up snowplow blades, for use as a backup camera, and for monitoring a variety of areas around your home, farm, or jobsite.
The camera's 4-hour battery life gives you plenty of time to complete the job. The camera sends images to the monitor from up to 300' away and gives you a targeted, 55-degree viewing angle (horizontal and vertical).
Seven infrared lights surround the camera lens to provide up to 15' of night vision so you can get the job done in the dark. Night vision automatically activates in dim or dark conditions and turns off when lighting improves. When the camera is using night vision, images are displayed in black and white on the monitor.
The back of the camera has an antenna, an on/off button, an LED light, and a jack for the charging cable. The LED light changes color to signal when the camera is on (green), when it's charging while the power is on (yellow), and when it's charging while the power is off (red).
Place-and-Point Design
Setting up the camera is as fast as place and point. First, place the camera's strong magnetic base on a metal surface. The magnetic base lets you easily remove and reposition the camera depending on the job - unlike a backup camera that's permanently mounted at the rear of your vehicle. Plus, the base has a smooth, non-scratch nylon backing.
Next, point the camera at your hitch ball or target. A stem with a rotating ball joint sits between the camera and the magnetic base. The stem smoothly rotates 360 degrees, allowing the camera to be pointed in any direction and hold its position. For some applications, such as monitoring horses inside an enclosed trailer, the camera can be mounted semi-permanently. Pre-drilled holes in the magnetic base let you mount the camera using two 1/8" screws or bolts with wing nuts (not included).
Durable Construction
The Swift Hitch camera is constructed with durability in mind. The body, stem, and base are made of durable, rustproof aluminum, and the exterior has a UV-resistant coat of bright yellow paint.
A clear plastic cap is included to protect the camera's rear end from rain or other inclement weather, particularly when the lens is pointed at your hitch ball. The cap fits snugly onto the back of the camera. The on/off button can be pressed while the cap is on, but the cap will have to be removed when you want to plug in the charging cable.
The hand-held monitor features a 2-1/2", high-resolution LCD screen that displays crisp, clear full-color pictures (images appear in black and white while camera is operating in night vision). Video is displayed in mirror image by default to give you the same viewpoint as your rearview mirror, but this setting can be switched to non-mirror image if you prefer. The monitor has a battery life of up to 4 hours when fully charged. It is recommended that the monitor battery be fully charged before first use.
To turn the monitor on or off, hold down the button on the front for 3 - 5 seconds. To switch the display from mirror-image view to non-mirror-image view, press the button quickly. An LED indicator light changes color to signal when the monitor is on (green), when it's charging while the power is on (yellow), and when it's charging while the power is off (red). The light flashes when the unit is in the non-mirror-image setting so you know what perspective you've got on the display.
The included video-out cable plugs into the side of the monitor so that you can transfer images to a larger screen or a recording device.
The lightweight, durable plastic unit has a contoured shape so that it is easy to hold in one hand. For dash mounting, two 7/8" hook-and-loop strips (similar to Velcro) with adhesive backing are included. Or you can use the Swift Hitch windshield mount kit (sold separately) to keep the monitor easily within view.
This portable, completely wireless system is simple to set up and convenient to use. It does not need to be hardwired to your vehicle, nor does it rely on your vehicle's battery to work. Instead, it uses radio frequency to transmit video from the camera to the monitor and it is powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. There's no permanent installation or drilling required, so the system can go anywhere you go - from the jobsite to the campsite, from your work truck to your SUV.
The included 12-volt DC cable lets you charge both units simultaneously. An AC-to-DC adapter (sold separately) can be used to charge the system from a 110-volt AC wall outlet.
The product was just as described, works great!, thanks!
Very Easy to use right out of the box. Great product!
Item received as advertised, works grea t!
Who hoo got it for Christmas and how great it is. I can't wait to try it out
Swift hitch works very well and saves alot of time getting out vehicle to line up hitch. Thank you for your speedy service. Tom
i have played with the item a little but i just got it last night. these items are actually a gift from the employees to our bosses.
Came earlier than expected. Packaged very well. Easy to use. Monitor is very clear to view, magnet on the camera part is very strong and it does exactly what I wanted it to do just as its advertised to do. Thank You.
Bought for Cab Over Camper to help load into my truck. It does give me one more set of eyes yet isn't a perfect system. I don't know that one exists. I still have to get out and check and I've been playing with different positions for the camera. Like others have said the screen is harder to see in bright sunlight.... but.... if it saves me trashing my truck bed or camper its worth it....
The products have performed as stated. The only difficulty is seeing the small screen when there is bright glare on a sonny day . I like the product and find it very helpful
This has made camping so much more stress free. The Swift Hitch has eliminated the "end of the trip" tension and arguments between my husband and I; making hooking up so much easier. The only improvement would be if the camera would transmit from the back of the camper to the truck so hey could see the campsite as he backed in. Overall, total thumbs up!
prompt delivery and that's all that you can expect theses days!!
Love the basic capabilities of camera. It would have been excellent unless it is me but the only way to charge units is via outlet in car.
Otherwise the camera itself is excellent.
Makes hooking up or boat a breeze by myself
Seems to work. It just got here yesterday and I haven't had an actual trial run yet. Charged it up while at work and gave it a test in the house. Since the electric power was off because of a storm and it was dark, I got to try the IR feature. Easy to use.
Great item hooked and re parked my 20 ft trailer in a breeze by myself in no time.
Great little product. Can back up one time every time with it. Even works good in dark and rain/snow.
Item looks great and will be everything we need to help with parking the trailer. Really like that the unit is in a case for easy storage.
Works just like it says, my wife is a happy camper now when she books up her house trailer.
Works perfectly, as advertised. etrailer as usual exceded my expectations.
So far very pleased with etrailer and there prompt service and really enjoying the SHO2 great product!
Product is great and almost as good as the excellent service I received from etrailer. My complete transaction was excellent.
Just received the SH02, charged the batteries and tested the unit. This unit seems to be exactly what I was for looking for. Purchased it primarily to backup my fish house but I think I'll find other uses for it as well.
Just got it and pleased with it's oinitial operation. Tried it at night and the camera does exactly as advertised - what a pleasant surprise! Also like the ability to port the picture to a larger screen if needed. Would definitely recommend to others hauling trailers.
Have enjoyed my backup camera, once I got the hang of it, wouldn't be without it.
I like this product a lot. it preforms exactly as promised. i not only use it for my truck and trailer but i also use it to watch implement on my farm equipment.
your response to my order was very quick and I received the product in just 3 days. Thanks
Tried it once after we got it. The screen was very blurry, lots of lines running thru as if there was bad reception. Couldnt get it to clear up. Never got around to calling for assistance or sending it back.
