That is really cool. Is it calibrated with the barrel?

The camera looks out of the gun sight in the mantlet and is as lined up with the gun tube as close as I could make it with the naked not very sharp eyes that I have.

Hi - can I ask a quick question about the camera installation? I understand it needs a voltage regulator but can I ask how/where you have wired it into the tanks circuitry? Many thanks.
