Default iPhone camber gauge

I'm not too wild about iOS7 but it does have a built in digital level which i suppose you can use as a simple camber gauge. All I need now is a 3D printer to make myself a phone mount...

To get to the level, open the compass app. Though not immediately obvious, there’s a second page to the app; swipe to the left, and you’ll be at Apple’s level.

The Apple level with Compass only gives you full degree increments. Try the iHandy Level app, it's free and will give you degrees in min/sec increments.

The Handy level apps work to 0.1 degree camber on both i or android phones. You need a phone with a flat, straight side to get repeatable values. Use it at the hubs.

Darn, they must have changed it in one of the updates. It used to have an option that allowed even greater sensitivity. That said, I really don't need anything beyond 0.1 accuracy.
