Spent $380 on a remote camera boom and it paid for itself in one week

Got tired of leaning over the damn edge to watch the drag arm on deep cuts. Picked up a cheap wireless camera setup on a telescoping pole, mounted it to the gantry. First week I used it, spotted a worn cutter tooth I woulda missed until it snapped. That one replacement was probably $300 and a half day of downtime. Now I check the cut face every pass without leaving the cab. Anybody else running cameras on their rig or is that overkill for smaller operations?
