so the video is cool. but what i want to know is how that damn camera is mounted. its seems to be on a weighted pendulum.... but i cant find one. that would be the ultimate go pro mount.
It must be a gyro stabilized platform- a weighted mount would tilt with the acceleration around the corners. I suspect there is also some post processing done to remove some of the shake.
Its a super wide angle lens. probably 180degrees. SO when e leans over he puts his head in the plane of view on both sides. It also seems like the camera is mounted on the tank filler cap so its far back. Look at how wide of a view you get.
yes. some sort of gyro stabilized camer mount for a go pro or similar camera. It would be easy to lean over a small mounting system if it was placed properly.

I bet Duncan can name that band.

Dorna Sports SL Developed it.
It was not until November 2009 and the Valencian Grand Prix that the ideal solution was found, as UAV Navigation offered their services. The Spanish company, specialised in Flight Control Systems, made the most of the experience they acquired in the Red Bull Air Race in order to bring a package adapted to the constraints of MotoGP, with two accelerometers, a triaxial gyroscope, a GPS and a micro-chip providing real-time data on the location of the bike and also the exact coordinates of the three gyro sensors, thus giving a better indication of the bike behaviour on track.
This data stream is processed in real-time to control a miniaturised motor placed in the Gyroscopic OnBoard camera, which rotates its lens according to the movements of bike - the movements of the lens actually compensating the movements of the bike in order to maintain a fixed horizon line, as the riders see it - so that the resulting footage is not a shot moving with the bike, instead the bike is moving around a reference point, giving a better perception of the riders' dexterity in throwing their +210 hp prototypes through hair-raising-fast corners and audacious moves.
IOW, it's not available for retail yet.
