I bought a hard case that holds my iPhone and uses the GoPro mounts (as well
as a tripod mount). The GoPro mount opens the door to all kinds of amounting

so I dont use it as often as I otherwise would.

Trackaddict is pretty amazing. Does a better job of indicating braking points
and corner speeds than my thousand buck pain in the butt system ever did.
