Timing / phone / data logger mounting - what is secure?
Posted: Mon Oct 08, 2012 3:42 pm
I'm looking to get a mount for my iPhone 5 to use with Harry's Lap Timer Pro for timing at the next club day. I know there's plenty of people who do similar or with Race Chrono on Android, but what I'm wondering is how people went about choosing a mount to make sure it's secure enough for the track.
Obviously it needs to secure to the windscreen strongly, but the grip on the phone or other device would also need to be rather strong.
So my questions are really these:
Is there something in particular I should be looking for in terms of sunction mount and the grip on the device itself?
Is there anything scrutineers are particularly concerned with when they look at such things? If so, does that differ between events under CAMS or AASA regs?
Are there any recommended mounts or brands?
Thanks!
