i have a couple of comments: I would guess that the accelerometer in the iphone has an "accuracy" level that exceeds +/- 5 degrees. low cost accelerometers are inherently inaccurate. i can't believe Apple would put a device in a phone that would cost more than the phone.
keeping the clinometer alligned with the rangefinder is critical. you may wish to add a small pencil laser to the joined pair for allignment. they aren't big and if it's close and not too bright, you shoudl be able to see the laser beam. on the other hand, using our Hypsometer would resolve the situation <grin>.
