Agreed. I'd start with a generic stalk against a flat wall, in order to not particularize the result to any vehicle. And also combine the Maclaren ventilator into the unit.

Vekke -- My guess would be that there is a lot of distortion, viewing through the compound-curved plastic. What do you see?

My home-brew mirror mount causes a lot of vibration, to where I put my thumb on the mirror to de-blur the view. How is it for vibration?

Smokeduv -- That sounds like it should work, but the camera really only needs a pin-hole to view through.
