Not anywhere as nice as Dick Foster's setup, but it's a start!

LOL, that's cool as hell, but where I live it would need a depth finder as well because the first hole I went through i think it would be pasted with mud.

Sweet set up Mike. Needs more channel selection tho

It's a cheap disposable camera. I made a little lense shield for it that will be easy to clean, and I plan on completely sealing the thing up and making it waterproof.

The older I get, the lazier I get. Now I can see what the hell is hanging up my rear diff without getting out. LOL!

Not sure about the laws where you are, but they are cracking down here. I would be hesitant to have any sort of screen that could be viewed from outside the rig when you didn't want it to be.

That is pretty awesome. Until something flys up and smashes it into billions of little tiny pieces, lol. What kind of Camera is it??

It's a mirror image camera, so it's like looking at the diff with the rear view mirror.

Dude, it's okay. Not like I have a playstation hooked up to it or anything.

ok, i am worried....as long as you still like tri tip and sierra..then i know you are ok....and maybe every now and then call me and scream neckhole in my ear

 

[TacomaNova]

Thats awesome mike, the reverse camera is a good idea as well, less confusing

I am all about tri-tip and sierra!

We need to wheel in your part of the Sierra this summer.

i agree...its not going anywhere and you are all welcome here
i figure i got enough floor space for about 10 people

 

[BigBadBob0]

Holy crap that's nuts. You should put a rocklight right next to it too

 

[Gargoyle]

Mike, what was the $ on the monitor (and from where). I was looking at doing the same thing. Nice setup BTW. I have a cheapo camera from X10 that I was going to use, just cant seem to find a small, <$75 monitor. You would think small ones would be all over by now, and cheap as dirt.

 

[BigBadBob0]

Even better idea, add an article about it to our new wiki

Sweet!

Seeing this work firsthand makes me want to order it tonight.

This setup rocks. I can't wait to be able to see stuff I am hung up on WITHOUT a spotter there!!! As far as cost and benefit goes, it is next on my to-do list...nice job!
