What about adding a battery on the forks to power the camera with a contact p=
air on the loader arm & fork to charge the battery when the forks are in the=
ir normal location? I=E2=80=99m thinking about a plate on one side & a slidi=
ng spring contact on the other that wipes onto the plate.  Should only need o=
ne contact & use the framework for ground.=20

Peace,

I've been using a wired camera, but I need to have so much slack in the cabl=

Here is a video of the forks in action.=20

Most battery operated cameras are meant for home based systems.  =20

Any ideas?=20

Any other solutions?=20

Thanks.=20
