Oh, I see. Naked 20$ camera from aliexpress for tractor with front loader. I have different perspective then :D Anyway - if you plan DIY weatherproofing for camera, then why don't you DIY-weatherproof connector as well?

You really think I will put bare PCB on tractor's front loader? Noooo... Please see the picture. It will be in waterproof metal housing.

That was not what I was thinking. - You shall not drive around in Maybach or Rolls-Royce looking for cheapest fuel in the town. The same about front loader tractor - you install professional grade stuff on professional grade tools. You can lose 10x more money you saved when that cheap and shitty camera breaks down in a middle of important job.

OK, I understand. I use many cheap chinese devices and to be honest, many times they work very well, for a fraction of price. I only hope this will be the case.
FYI This is just hobby project. The tractor is not used profesionally, just on our property (around house, in forest, ...). It has been used many year without the camera...

Oh, I see. In case of hobby you can experiment with risk of potential failure indeed. Just try to build your solution out of cable assemblies so you do not have to solder anything. There are some cable assemblies (just searched) https://www.elpro.org/gb/1605-ip68-waterproof-usb-connectors.
