newest backup for gyro failure in IMC

I don't know the exact technology, but I do have a new Nikon D3, and will
try it in a coordinated level turn to see what happens. Rolling the camera
side to side shows that the display is a little slow and jaggy.

The camera itself is outstanding for taking pictures.

It does work well enough for emergency flight backup for IMC. A number
of people have tested it as such, myself included (Garmin 496).
