Everyone says you need a full crew for a 12-inch cutter suction dredge, but I ran one solo on the Ohio River last season by rigging a remote camera on a pole to watch the ladder.
After the third guy called in sick, I hooked up a cheap waterproof security cam to a 10-foot conduit pipe with zip ties, fed the video to a tablet in the cab, and managed the cut and swing myself for three straight days without a single hang-up.

Totally get that. Been there trying to make a one-man show work when the crew bails.

Remember my buddy who tried to film a whole short film alone? He ended up with hours of unusable footage because he was trying to do everything himself. It just proved you really can't be the whole crew.
