camber adjustment via iPhone

anybody thought of doing this? iPhone has an app with a plumb bob that is accurate to .1 I am going to try and use this for the rear camber, any thoughts?

It's a cool idea, haven't heard of anyone trying it though.

I tried it a year or 2 ago, never to seriously thou. If you calibrate the phone correctly, no reason why it couldnt work

Funny you mentioned this because I thought about doing it as I was adjusting my rear camber.

As long as you have an accurate way of attaching it to your wheels (not tires) it should be fine for a rough adjustment. Would I trust it for an accurate measurement......no.

If I had one, I think I'd count on it for 0.1 accuracy - in radians, though, not degrees.

Couldn't find anywhere online that actually says how accurate it is.
