I used this years ago on my Ranger boat trailer,

but now I'm using the 2-balls on poles/ magnets method (not mine of course! ;))
Anyone use the one shown? If I remember correctly, it was much easier to use without going forward and back with the truck.

Tip:
After parking the trailer before disconnecting, put a board behind the truck's rear wheels. When you back up the tow vehicle to hitch the trailer, the hitch ball and hitch should be close when backing up and only need a bit of a push of the hitch to one side or the other to align and then drop on the ball.

Interesting, my current truck does not have a back up camera so getting the ball in just the right place can be a pain. Thanks for the post and picture.
