What is the difference between Cam v4 and Cam OG besides the stand?

That is so cool! I have a V4. How do you do it?

Never mind. Got it. It’s on the live view screen. Very nice.

It is pretty cool, and I think it’s a relatively new feature for Cam v4. In my experience, performance is a little flaky the way it works in the v3x app , but works better and as I would expect with the v2.5x app.

[image] dave27: I would much rather just switch back and forth between apps. The music player I use (Musicolet) now integrates its play controls into google maps so switching isn’t even needed anymore, which is great. I’m sure plenty of music players do this now. My car is old and doesn’t h…
