I did something similar with the Wii, to record that data and send it to the computer as I was taking the photos. The problem is, the wii is an accelerometer and it works when the camera is stationary, but would not work for a moving camera. It would be interesting to rig something using an arduino and a digital inclinometer, using a wireless medium to send the data to a computer.
