FAQs

  • If your backup camera sits anywhere above your license plate, it'll work. Check the fit list, or email fit@lenslizard.com with your make and model.

    Trucks and some SUVs with recessed plates use our adapter plate. Many popular models (F-150, Model Y Juniper) need nothing extra.

  • Yes. It has plenty of power to spray upward and reach cameras mounted high on a tailgate. The truck adapter plate is done and tested on Silverados, Sierras, F-150s and more.

  • No. It runs on winter-grade washer fluid to keep the line clear, and the jet will knock snow and light ice off the lens. The cold-rated lithium batteries last 2+ years, even through Vermont winters.

  • A tank lasts 3+ months depending on how much you use it, so most people fill it once a winter. It refills without coming off the car. The four lithium AAs last 2+ years. Nothing to charge, and it never touches your car battery.

  • Snow's the worst of it, but road spray, mud, pollen, salt and bugs smear a lens year-round. Use plain washer fluid in summer.

  • No. Lens Lizard mounts using your existing license plate screw holes. All fluid and power are fully self-contained.

  • Yes. Lens Lizard is built to handle automatic car washes without any issues.

  • Maybe. It depends on the angle from your plate to the camera. We'll publish supported models as we test them.

  • March, to the US and Canada. Batch 1 is Kickstarter backers plus early website pre-orders, and it's fully allocated. Batch 2 ships right behind it, in the order received. When Batch 2 fills, you're into Batch 3, and that's spring.

    We'd said December–January. Steel for the production molds started cutting in November, the first parts come off in early December, and they get tested in real cold before anything ships. That lands in March. If you're in Batch 1, you'll get an email with the details.

  • 60-day hassle-free returns, counted from the day it lands on your porch. March in Vermont is mud season. It'll have plenty to do.

  • Because Batch 2 is the back half of the first production run, and $109 holds through Nov 30. When Batch 2 fills, Batch 3 ships in spring at $149.

    And March isn't the end of it. Mud season, road spray, pollen and bugs are all waiting for a clean lens.
