Hi all I am just curious about how much interest there is out there for mounting a digital camera to the under-side of an RV taildragger and displaying the real-time video from it on a display in the cockpit? Primarily I am thinking of folks using it on taildraggers on the ground to be able to see what's ahead on the ground when taxiing, but it could also be used when airborne or any time at all.
This idea is do-able by anyone really. It would just use a raspberry pi micro-computer, a digital camera such as an IMX258 (has image-stabilization) and a small display. It could very easily incorporate a gimbal to be able to move the camera with a small joystick in the cockpit as well. With different cameras, you could have some night vision capabilities as well. One could do this relatively cheaply starting around $250 - $300.
