Not sure which category to put this in as its more Talk: Techniques but here goes:-

I want to shoot vertically with the camera low to the ground to get the shot as wide as possible and get as much in the frame. Because of this I can't then see the view finder or screen (it doesn't tilt 180 to face looking backwards) to compose. Essentially I need some sort of additional "off camera" screen to act as the proxy viewfinder. Any suggestions of equipment to do this?
 
Not sure what make your camera is, but a lot of them have an app you can connect to which will offer a live view. Failing that, if your camera has a mini HDMI port you could get a cable to connect to your phone or a tablet?

can that be done if I have USB-C on tablet/phone and camera? what sort of apps would be needed to read the camera screen this way as its essentially shooting tethered?
 
As above, this is a highly camera specific question.

Some cameras have their own WiFi apps, different cameras have different screen connections etc.
 
I can view and take pictures using a canon app with my 6D. What is your camera ?
