===========================================
A backup camera is a special type of video camera that is produced
specifically for the purpose of being attached to the rear of a vehicle to
aid in backing up.

Backup Cameras are alternatively known as 'Reversing Cameras'
or 'Rear View Cameras'.

The design of a backup camera is distinct from other cameras in that the
image is horizontally flipped so that the output is a mirror image. This is
necessary because the camera and the driver face opposite directions,
and without it, the camera's right would be on the driver's left and vice
versa. A mirrored image makes the orientation of the display consistent
with the physical mirrors installed on the vehicle.

Backup cameras are common on vehicles that tow difficult-to-see trailers,
such as motorhomes. Recently, with the rise in popularity of in-dash DVD
players and GPS navigation systems which aid in justifying the expense of
adding a color LCD display to the driver's seat, they have become much
more common, often available as optional factory accessories on
standard passenger trucks and sport utility vehicles, as well as
aftermarket accessories. Inside the vehicle, the display is typically wired
to automatically sense when the transmission is set in reverse, showing
the backup view while in reverse, and showing the map (or other content)
at all other times.

A backup camera typically sports a wide-angle or fisheye lens. While such
a lens spoils the camera's ability to see faraway objects, it allows the
camera to see an uninterrupted horizontal path from one rear corner to
the other. The camera is typically pointed on a downward angle, to view
potential obstacles on the ground as well as the position of approaching
walls and docks, rather than straight back

ho subito pensato au un fotografo con una staffa sulle spalle ed una camera,
fissata sopra e rivolta all'indietro
mi sembra una buona posizione di backup

a proposito di staffa
c'era un fotografo professionista tipo "Barillari", che veniva appunto chiamato "La Staffa"
e che girava con 2 Nikon F2A equipaggiate con lenti eguali;
queste Nikon erano fissate su di una staffa orizzontale, tipo staffa per flash,
una a fianco all'altra e fissate col perno dello stativo e sotto avevano una specie di manico verticale;
oltre che fare normali foto di press, faceva doppie fotografie per stereografia;
era bello robusto e poteva permetterselo
io non riesco ormai nemmeno a sostenere per troppo tempo la D1x

chissà se questo fotografo particolare, l'ho fatto ricordare a qualcuno
