If I have a camera man looking to shoot video and I am the main pilot... How do I see where I am going(flying) if the camera man has the camera paned in a different direction than which I will be flying?  

How do you guys do this now??

Line of sight & Guesswork. Although you can get pilot camera mods added such as this: http://www.heliguy.com/dji/inspire-1/inspire-1-fpv-upgrade.html for £299 - the camera is added to the nose cone & a battery & small 5.8ghz transmitter. The pilot then can use a battery wireless FPV monitor to pick up the 5.8ghz feed.

Maybe Im missing something, we we have a spotter, and the pilot uses maps but does toggle back and forth between camera/maps. Haven't been using 2 ppl long but so far it works and if things get dicey i tell him to hit the auto return too 1st person view.
