I was wondering if anyone has rigged up any sort of monitoring for the Sony housing above. I have the housing and use it with a Sony HC7 camera with wide angle, and it's always a crapshoot trying to frame my shot, as I can't see the stupid little mirror assembly unless I'm down in the water with the camera. Given that I filming in very cold rivers, that is not an option.
I was thinking of using a combination of a wireless video transmitter/receiver:
Audiovox ACA300 Wireless 2.4GHz transmitter/receiver at Crutchfield.com (http://www.crutchfield.com/s_220ACA300/Audiovox-ACA300.html?search=audiovox+wireless&ssi=0&tp=83)
with some cheap video glasses:

I don't need high quality, just to see enough to frame the shot. Anyone have any simpler options before I go this route? I don't even know what the signal with the above setup will do when passing through water. I'm usually no more than a couple inches below the surface, so I assume it should still work.
