I want to share one of my tools with you guys (and girls!). After one of my friends pointed out how cool, simple and useful this is, I thought I might make a post.

I have a waterproof Bluetooth spycam that pairs with my phone. I took a good horseshoe magnet and mounted the cam to it after putting 3M mylar on the contact surfaces. I have used this for all sorts of things. I have watched tires and wheels to see if I have any hop caused by shock fatigue, I have watched drive shafts and rear ends. I put one pointed up at the harmonic balancer to check belt tracking. I have watched turbo lingages operate under normal driving. On the agricultural side, I have watched disc in harrows and seed levels in planters.

My 5th wheel camper seemed to have a ghost vibration in it. No one but me could feel it. I put that cam under the camper in front of both axles looking back. When I took it for a drive, the rear axle was flexing and deflecting more than the front. Turns out one was a thinner wall tubing than the other.

I have also stuck it on the back of my camper for tight campsites. My brother likes to clip it on a deer stand he is not in to see if he picked the wrong one that morning.

I used it as a bed cam for hooking up goosenecks until I put a permanent one In the 3rd brake light.

I paid $60 on eBay for my cam a year ago. And just browsing, there seems to be no end to the selection. I had a good rare earth horseshoe magnet that I have zero concerns for it falling off. I have no idea where it came from.

 

Thanks for sharing, that seems like a pretty good idea

 

Do you have a link to where you found it?

 

This is as close to mine as I could find. It's not waterproof, but it is the same company and style. Mine is 2yrs old and was a gift from my brother.

That one was unavailable, but found this on DX Mini Q7 Camera 480P Wifi DV DVR Wireless IP Cam Video Camcorder - Free Shipping - DealExtreme Looks to be the same thing with a different label. For $20 I'll give it a try... Even if it falls off and get's run over I'm only out $20

 

Seems to be pretty much the same thing. Make sure you follow the pairing directions when you pair it with your phone or tablet.
