A Washigei-inspired Trident camera rocket?

The Washigei design takes an interesting approach to carrying an on board camera. Front engine, rear camera. Unfortunately, is looks as if it is nearly impossible to adequately protect the camera bay unit from the exhaust.

One reviewer comment suggested swapping the engine and camera locations, and that got me thinking about a Trident-style design. I would go with a 24mm engine size at most, I think. I would use a lightweight lighter-style camera and some kind of aft-facing window. I would have to move the passenger tube to the rear enough to get the ejection gas path to bypass the camera bay. The view would be dominated by the long BT5 tubes and engine compartment nosecone, I realize.

Please don't suggest I simply attach the lighter cam to the outside of any old rocket. I already do that too! This is meant to be sort of a different idea.

Aim the camera at a 45-degree angle out between two of the BT-5s, so you get more scenery and less tubes.

Could you just use bigger duct tubes with larger holes, and only pass the ejection gases through two of them? You could then use the third tube as the camera bay without worrying about getting a camera and ejection gases through the same tube.

Alternatively, you could take the existing Washigei design and use 3 canted 24 mm motors (like the Fliskits Tres) in the top section instead of the single 29mm and leave the rest as is. No blast on the camera compartment that way, it would look sweet taking off, and you may even get a camera looking down a tube of smoke effect from the camera.
