If you have an iPad, that problem is easily solved. Manfrotto Digital Director.

I have one and it is awesome.

Got my Digital Director from B&H for USD$300 and bought a superseded iPad Mini from Officeworks for a couple of hundred. There are other cheaper alternatives, but the Digital Director can be viewed live and having a higher resolution screen makes for easy focus.

Although it is great with the Mini iPad, had I known how good this thing is, I probably would have gone for the larger iPad. It only works with iPads.
Much simpler: when you have iOS, use a Canon Remote app from Canon themselves which allows downloading JPEGs, but no CR2s, so set image format to 'both RAW and JPEG' to allow downloading the JPEGs over wifi. But iOS lacks USB connectivity which is possible with Android (OTG adapter for a few dollars) which allows you to view the CR2 files on the cellphone / tablet screen.
I use DSLR controller which is awesome for AP.

Using a diagonal for AP is a bad idea.
