 David, 
Haven't heard from Brent for over a year. 
Hugh may comment, he'd be more familiar with Brents 
boat. 
I know he got the camera & monitor from a local 
business (NZ)

  Brent,     What kind of camera did you use? 
  What type of monitor?     Nice picture by the way...looks like 
  tons of 
  fun.

  Here's a picture of Brent Shaws "Dry Dive". 
  
  It has a camera at the top of an air intake pipe. The 
  pipe must be detachable 
  as I've seen pictures of it in transit with it down. He 
  was very happy with it.

    David, 
                    
    Do you have experiance with building a periscope?   or do you have 
    any suggestions for a small one for a psub?    I wouldn't 
    mind having one that I could retract.     I would have 
    to find a sutible place for it however.

      Jens,     With the 
      camera mounted to the upmost portion of the mast and rotated with this 
      mast, this inversion will not take place...I have in my study of actual 
      periscope optics come across this inversion.   I think one could 
      spend a lifetime studying this area and still not be fully satisfied with 
      the results...You have to eventually say to your self this is simply good 
      enough and move 
      on.
