Those X10 cameras seem to be *very* sensitive to obstructions between
the camera and receiver. Jason & I did the camcorder in the cab on a
tripod and it seemed to work OK in the pit. It sat a little higher than
I had hoped, and Jason did have to hold it down, but we got decent footage.

An exterior mount would be...tricky & dangerous, but I'm sure possible.
