How to film low-angles without vari angle screen?

I film skateboarding with a Nikon D3200. When I do low angles to film lines of the skater, I can't see the screen, so I can't check my focus, and to see if the skater is in the frame. I started to make a DIY monitor but I realized it's too many 12v battery packs and rca to hdmi converters. Tips please!

Added (1). I said when filming lines…

Get on the ground - kneel, sit, lie down taking the shots. We've all done it when we want to get that low angle shot.
