Motion Quality — Mount Stability & Road Smoothness Scoring
Measure how stable, smooth, or harsh a complete run feels from your phone. Motion Quality is useful when you want repeatable scoring for mount stability, recording quality, road roughness, or before-and-after comparisons.
Best for
- dashcam and phone-mount testing
- route and surface comparison
- before-and-after changes to damping, mounting, or road condition
- anyone who needs a repeatable session score instead of just a live sensor trace
When to use this
Use Motion Quality when you want to compare complete runs and judge which setup, route, or surface performed better overall.
When not to use this
Do not use Motion Quality when your main question is which single vibration frequency is dominant. For that, use Resonance Scan .
What you get
- a live scoring view during the run
- a saved session linked to a GPS track
- side-by-side comparison value across repeated runs
- a shareable report after labeling the session
Open MENU > Modes > Engineering, then choose either Camera Rig or Road Survey.
Camera Rig
Camera Rig is the recording-focused profile. It puts more weight on stability and rotational disturbance, making it better for mount evaluation and footage-quality comparison. Use it when the question is whether the recording setup improved.
Road Survey
Road Survey is the surface-quality profile. It gives more weight to bumps, harsh transitions, and roughness patterns, making it better for comparing roads, lanes, or repeated infrastructure runs. Use it when the question is whether one route section or lane is smoother than another.
Shared settings
Both profiles use the same Motion Quality settings surface. The selected preset decides which profile is active and how scoring behaves.
The most important groups are:

What the shared settings surface is really good for:
- choosing a built-in profile such as
Generic Device,Camera Rig, orRoad Survey - exporting the current preset
- importing a preset
- saving your current tuning as a custom preset
- resetting all threshold and score overrides back to the preset
- switching
Frequency scoring - changing
Score weights - changing the display names of the score channels
So this is not only a screen for starting and stopping sessions. It is also where you decide how sensitive the analysis should be and how the resulting scores should be interpreted.
How it differs from Resonance Scan
Motion Quality is about overall run quality and comparison across complete sessions. Resonance Scan is about vibration characteristics such as dominant frequency, resonance strength, and axis response.
