Have any of you added a camera to your press for a visual powder check?
If so what did you use and does it help on bottle neck cases?
I run a Dillon 550 and finally got some led light strips and a backup camera, newer model of one that I have seen used on a Dillon before.
I cannot figure out a way to mount it that will be useful on long/bottleneck cases which is the reason I wanted one, I can already see into short pistol cases.
After finding the camera install thread I notice it only shows pistol cases. More research only shows videos of pistol cases, except on true overhead cameras installed on presses with more room than a 550.
Maybe something run through the hole in the middle of the tool head might work.
The lights are going to work good.
Too good actually, I rigged up a few strips for a quick test, on the far support arm of the press.
I stuck one strip on there, it seemed fine so in true overkill fashion I added 2 more and soldered everything up.
Way too bright, blindingly bright. I will be disconnecting 2 of the strips and continue adding lights to the near side and over head as I originally planned.
Also planning on adding lights to the gun cabinet, these led strips are really nice and cheap.
The lights will be a nice addition, the camera might get returned.
