James, does the camera get it's power from the 9v battery that's mentioned? - in the picture it looks like it's got a lead for the AC adapter to plug in.

hi Carl,

Have you ever used a mirror? Thats what we use and have found it so much easier that a cam and monitor, you can show the customer as you quote and then after the job has been done. its surprising just how much you can see, it does take a little time to master getting the angle right but once thats sorted its so much quicker.

hi mick
i have a mirror on my poles but its a right PIA at times.
ive just bought a 3000w triple motor vac and gardner carbon vacpoles as i am picking up a fair amount of this work so have invested in it.
plus ive got shoulder bursitis so need to use lightest available and minimise the time spent with my arms above my head.

would love to try the carbon poles!! i still use the metal ones, nightmare! good to hear your busy, gutter cleaning can be a good earner, and plenty of work about, sounds like a good set up you've got.

they are from grippatank.

they are gardiner poles by the way so nice and light.

the grippatank website is still being built so is absolute pants at the minute= no pics etc up. but if you phone them up they are really really really  helpfull.

type grippavac into youtube and they have a couple of vids on there also

It plugs in to charge then you unplug to use the battery is same as a nokis phone so easy to get hold of and easy to charge.

Mick, where did you get your mirror from and is it easy to attach to your system?
