Cameras for each tire ???

Almost always need a spotter when crawling over the lava trails here in Hawaii. Since my wife is not a reliable spotter I came up with the idea to somehow mount a camera near each tire so I can see each tire live while I'm crawling. There's tons of 4-camera set-ups on Ebay and Amazon. Was just wondering if anybody has tried/done this.

 

Wikid has something like that, but just a bit more complex.

Ok, I guess it's not such a crazy idea after all

 

I am guess that setup was $2-3K, so I am sure you could get away with something like you are looking at for much less. DO IT, and report back .

 

Where the hell are you going to mount a 10" screen cleanly though?

 

I was thinking the same thing, lol. Maybe make it fit the GoPro mount? Also, would have to figure where to mount the cameras.

 

I bet you could hook it up to a head unit input.

 

So much for seeing out the windshield....

 

Possibly, mine only has 2 inputs for video though.

 

That would be crazy

 

True. There are smaller screens available.

 

So much for seeing the video off the camera's.

 

Possibly make it fold down from the roof?

 

Could, does 3rd gen have a upper console?

 

Ya, where the holder for you glasses and map lights are

 

Maybe a custom mount above the drivers visor with the visor spaced down a bit might work and leave enough room to see. Better yet on passenger side and have a co-driver.

 

Flush mount in the wheel well ?

 

Ya was thinking that but would be nice to see right in front of the tires. Should be able to find suitable mounting locations.

 

Could integrate a video switch and use 1 or 2 screens. All feeds go into the switch then you pick which feed shows. I am digging the idea.
