Hyndsight Cruz
Boating Industry Canada
Since 2014, Hyndsight Vision Systems has been selling its wire-free camera and monitor system. The system was initially designed specifically for the rowing industry, but has many other uses, including equine, RV, waterskiing, construction, agriculture and more.
Hyndsight’s Cruz is a totally portable, wire-free rear view system that can be mounted within seconds on a rowing scull, providing real-time video to provide rowers with better visibility and to maintain safety on the water. The wireless system is rugged, weather resistant and provides a video stream without the use of the Internet or cell signal through a wireless connection (camera to monitor), offering the rower a clear image. With a sunlight readable screen, both the camera and monitor are submersible and buoyant and fit neatly, along with custom mountable accessories, into a rugged carrying case. The unit weighs less than a water bottle when attached to the rowing scull.
“Rowing is the only sport where a competitor crosses the finish line going backwards,” says Melissa Thompson, Hyndsight’s CEO and avid rower. “It’s easy for rowers to collide with other boats, capsize and need rescuing and medical attention. Hyndsight’s Cruz provides both professional and amateur rowers with a clear field of vision much like a back-up camera for your car. Rowing is so much better and safer if you have the Cruz System.”
