FT, no I can see everything on the ground from about 3' out with the camera. Without the camera I couldn't see the top of a 3' tall step stool until it was about 13' behind me. Sorry should have clarified that a little better.
...with zip ties or something. Only issue might be that you can only use one camera per screen, so no multi cam views.

OME J's with Mr. G's up front.
