Using Iphone 5 as primary camera but control from ipad

Post by ken800 »

I am trying to use the multi-cam feature to control my iphone with my ipad in the following manner but I'm unable to figure out how to do it:

I have a dual BT gps as a device
I have an iPhone 5
I have an ipad 3
I have a ram aluminum short arm mount

I want to have the iphone which is mounted to my winshield be the "primary" device for recording video, Gs, etc. I really only want the ipad to let me see the view of my iphone so I can get it set up for a decent view as I'm shooting from the back window and it's hard to aim. Once I "start it", I want to slip my ipad in a sleeve that fits tightly behind the passenger seat and trunk wall so it doesn't move or become a projectile. Obviously it will move (a little) and that will throw off the G sensor so I want the iphone to be the primary as it is fixed on the rear glass.

How do I go about configuring it so the ipad is essentially just a start/stop control mechanism and the iphone records everything else? Is this even possible?

Please install the LapTimer app on the iPhone and MultiCam app on the iPad. The details on the setup are available here: http://www.gps-laptimer.com/LapTimerDoc ... hapter.pdf
