It would be better maybe if someone went out there with him and videoed him riding that road. Any volunteers?

Actually alan, i could wait till fall and just turn the camera to the right and film most of the creek aside of the road.

Not so sure a heli would be feasible in the woods lol.

sometimes I think a tank mount with a swivel head would be great. set up a fair bit of drag so the camera angle doesn't drift and then you could point it in various directions while you ride.

I am sure somebody sells them if you have the $.

buying stuff like that just takes all the fun out of it!

I happened upon a film shoot in process recently when I went on a Cook's Corner run. I didn't see the whole rig, but basically there was a guy in the back of a pickup with a tripod mounted camera in the bed, tailgate was down and he might've even been sitting with his legs dangling over the side. The pickup driver paced the the motorcycle. They weren't going too fast when I passed them but I think they had slowed down to pull over and let me by. The camera looked pretty spiffy - not sure how it handles things like bumps, but, there aren't many on that road.

Many modern cameras have IS, Image Stabilization. They can take a fair bit of joshling around and still perform nicely.

My Playsport has IS which is noticeably effective for handheld operation, but can't quite deal with my thumper's oscillations in the current mounting configuration. I'm going to try a softer mount. Looking forward to your results today, WW.

Results were not great. Need some fine tuning to reduce the vibs from the road. Should not be difficult.
