[PSUBS-MAILIST] Virtual Viewports

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

No Doug, at least not for navigation.
I have a camera mount for an underwater camera on my ambient sub.
It was made from a car side mirror mount & has pan & tilt capability
however the angle range is not great. They sell camera gimbals on 
hobbyking's site, that may be better for doing the pan & tilt.

I am interested in what experience we have collectively on using subsea cameras and displaying monitor as virtual viewports.  Has any one commissioned one of these cameras?  What brand and model did you use and what HMI or monitor did you use?  Has it worked?  What has worked well and what whould do differently on your next boat?
