* The calibration is slightly awkward, particularly if you have a big
lens on. Makes me feel like I'm gonna drop it... :-/
The guy I was shooting with today was quite amused, watching me juggle my
camera to get the thing calibrated. You don't need to do the physical
calibration for GPS tagging at least, you just need to do it for
astrotracing, if I am not mistaken.
The astro-tracing has a more accurate calibration (forget what they call it
offhand) - AFAIK in both cases, the calibration is all to do with the
direction stuff (compass, perhaps accelerometers).
Obviously the astrotracer relies heavily on this being accurate; but also
just the direction tagged in the image uses it. I'm not sure how off the
mark the compass heading is without it.
The actual GPS position (not direction), is unaffected AFAIK.
