Help me cheat with my Guttervac Camera!

[HandiDomestic]

Hey guys. I recently bought a SkyVac 75 but just could not afford the £500 they wanted for the camera system.

I went instead for a knock off go pro (£50) which attaches to things via the screw thing at the bottom. It has wifi and so i plan to transmit it to my phone and use my phone as the viewfinder.

I need three things:

1. A method of attaching the camera at the top of the vac for inspection
   
2. a method of attaching my phone at the bottom for me to see as i hold the vac (i was thinking a bike phone holding mount but it's not wide enough to fit around the end of the vac
   
3. some to block the sunlight from the screen of my phone (galaxy S5) to avoid glare.
   

If anyone has any suggestions i would seriously appreciate it. Thanks!

Nice and it works well?

How do you record the video from the camera to the phone to show the customers?

Yeah works good, I used the phone attachment from a selfie stick, then attach to pole

I sometimes just record from the camera then show customers

I've just ordered this strap, as just got gutter vac, not used it yet, but was wondering where to put phone.
