The responses so far seem to indicate that camera location is a key to good viewing. Having said that, one poster indicated that a "high" position is best looking down, and others direct line of sight, as the "iBall" shows.
I think the "point of view" may also be influenced by the location of the ball & camera in relationship to the rear bumper, depth perception, etc.
DutchmenSport has a high mounted camera & the ball is far below & very much back because of his step type bumper. Maybe my observation makes sense & maybe it doesn't.
Last night, I purchased a Yada, model # Bt30681F-1 ($54.95 delivered) on Ebay. They seem to have fairly high reviews & good customer support. It is a "Refurb" but that doesn't bother me & the seller offers a 30 day return policy. It is primarily a License plate mount, but comes with an optional mount, if needed.
The top of my license plate bracket is almost dead even with the top of the ball. I'm going to install the camera & re-post in a few days with my conclusions.
