with that as the solution any recommendation for keeping vaguely clean, mat, polythene sheet?Get your face in the dirt and shoot wide.
Buy a camera which can link by wifi to a smart phone for a remote view!whats the best way (without a camera that has a flip screen) to compose a shot when you're looking for a shot where the camera is about 2 inches off the ground to ensure the horizon is straight and the composition is good?

Can you give an example?You need to buy a camera which can link to wifi & smartphone for a remote view. If you are not able to buy a high-cost camera then you can use Right Angle Viewfinder tool for your camera for different angle pictures.
Can you give an example?
I miss the flip out screen on my old Canon 60D for this reason, but both my Canon 6D and Canon EOS-M10 both work with remote shooting via the Canon app on my phone, so if I need to, I can just turn on wifi, fire up the app and start shooting. It's quite handy, but not quite as quick as just using a flip out screen.Can you give an example?
6D here too. I've rarely used the feature but I also find control by smartphone over Wi-Fi practical if you can't see the viewfinder or display, say ground level with lens aimed upwards. If the camera is horizontal, and there's enough room, then I just lie behind it, or beside it if I can only fit my head around the back. It's nice to have all the options, and I would have bought the Mk II partly for the articulated screen if reviews were more positive.I miss the flip out screen on my old Canon 60D for this reason, but both my Canon 6D and Canon EOS-M10 both work with remote shooting via the Canon app on my phone, so if I need to, I can just turn on wifi, fire up the app and start shooting.

Sometimes (often) a photograph is more important than social appearances. How seriously do you take your photography?Just get on the ground. You can worry about clean clothes when you've finished.
I just got a D850 with flip screen@jamesev - looking at your profile, you seem to be shooting Nikon, so why not just by a right-angle viewfinder attachment like the Nikon DR-5?
Attach it to the camera and then you can look down rather than having to lie on the ground.

. That's what I do!Get your face in the dirt and shoot wide.
I guess if its that serious shooting with Manfrotto Digital Director or an equivalnetNo electronics are required. You just use your everyday camera that has a waist-level finder. Step up Rollieflex, Mamiya C or RB series, Hasselblad, or even my old Praktica FX-2. There are wlf options also for Nikon F3 and Pentax LX. Only your knees (and maybe elbows) will get muddy. As here:
