iPhone / iPad Guide
Choose an iPhone or iPad that you can mount firmly to your camera rig and use with Omniscient. The device must move together with the camera without shifting or vibrating independently. An iPad is harder to mount rigidly because of its size; use it only with a stable mount. See Rigid Mount Guide for mounting guidance.
