I always have it in my backpack so if I need to take shots somewhere I can without a tripod.) I use a tiny little adapter you can see there called ‘Glif’, which can also double as a way to keep the phone upright simply on a desk/flat surface (balances it). (Update: A few people have asked how I attached the iPhone to the tripod.
It wasn’t quite an exactly perfect fit, but I made it work as best as possible.
Next, after getting my phone in the right position I cracked open the app and got the wheels lined up using the red circles. In fact, the camera taking this photo was literally up against the wall shooting somewhat blindly. Why did I have to do that you ask? Well, it turns out that in order to get far enough away from my bike to get the full view I had to go about 10 feet away. So, I re-arranged my entire living room to try it out. But after poking around the link I was actually surprised – it claimed to do something I hadn’t seen before: Real-time analysis of your bike fit – including angles and distances. So, this afternoon while reading through e-mail I saw another app, and almost tossed it into the bin of things I won’t be reviewing. Many of them believing that a 99 cent redeemable app code will entice me (C’mon, I buy $400 watches to support readers in reviews, I think I can afford 99 cents!). Nonetheless, I get bombarded with devs wanting me to post about their apps. I simply find that most of the good apps out there are already known, and most of the others tend to suck be less awesome. I could probably count the number of times I’ve done that in 6 years on one hand.
I want to start off by first noting just how rare it is that I write an entire post specifically about a single app.
