    iSeismometer use for Motor balancing

    When the IPhone is laid flat on it's back on an MR arm for motor vibration monitoring, the "z" axis aligns, i.e., is in parallel with the motor rotor.

    Connecting the GoPro 4 Black for FPV

    The GoPro 4 Black edition has only two ports which are the USB port and the HDMI port. I get the impression the previous GoPro's had a phono jack connection and there is not yet a cable available to connect the GoPro 4 to an FPV system. I suspect, if it is even possible, this would have to be...
