But seriously I think that you could make the thing work without lengthening
the cable.
You don't really need to mount it on the back of your head because you don't
need to see ahead all of the time, just once in a while. The real issue is
that you need the camera to point up instead of forward like your eyes.

As much as I like fancy gadgets, it occurred to me that perhaps this is
the wrong approach. How about a simple periscope type device? No
electronics to get wet, no batteries to go dead, no wiring or connectors
to worry about, nice and simple.

I tried using a mirror, but because of the angle I needed it produced
way to much drag. I thought a small LCD could be mounted flater and
produce less drag. A periscope would produce even more drag. But
mayby some type of medical scope/device could be used? Anyway, thanks
for the ideas.
