I bought one of the reversing cameras from Amazon and ended up swapping it out for a Gearbest one because the board was huge.

I've since bought another Gearbest one for another project off eBay for about £13

The board's tiny! It probably takes up about 30% of the total area of the screen itself:

Though it works on 5v straight out of the box, I added a bypass wire to eliminate some slight phasing. No chip removal necessary either!
By any chance do you have a closer up pic to see where the wire goes to/from please? Thanks!
