sounds real nice anyway.

It's way cool, but I doubt the rig could hang with a really fast rider. I don't think the camera dolly wheels can hang much beyond 0.7 to 0.9 G. A bike leaned at 45 degrees is a G. And, a really fast rider can pull one-G or greater. Dolly cam will turn into tassel cam on a fast bend.

When there are that many NC motor units out together, they are usually doing a training exercise.

Check your math. A bike leaned at 45 degrees is pulling .707 G's.

Not sure I'd want that javelin behind me in a bad situation...

Check your physics, OP is correct 1g.

Garvity (1g) acting on moment arm .707 height of upright CoM, must be counteracted by equal moment arm of .707 height of upright CoM (45deg angle) so horizontal accel must also be 1g.

Lol, I love it when people show their physics ignorance while attempting to point out someone else's

45deg (axis through COM and contact patch) means 1G of lateral. Doesn't mean the bike is actually at 45deg, though.

Soft RC wheels can pull well over a G, so it may hang in there longer than you think.

much better without the bar in the way....

But that's just a cantilever helmet mount... Still cool, though.

Yep, it's Pfink:



But I wonder how the scene unfolding on the left will turn out...
