    I used to think that folks who suggested a front view camera had more money than sense. Took mine out today onto some very primitive roads and noticed that there is no view of the road when topping a small rise. Anyone have some suggestions?

    Go faster, makes the horizon come back sooner.

    I plan to use a wireless go pro next time I go out.

    Before the days of on board cameras we tied a rag on the end of a fishing pole and whoever drew the short straw had to walk in front of the rig so we could stay in the middle of the track.

    Natika camera from Amazon. Cost me $30 but I already had an aftermarket stereo that accepts multiple cameras.
