Wow, brilliant video. The gyro cam really adds something to it. Thanks for posting it.

Paul, A quality video for sure, but is it just me :?: as I think camera's footage from these giro cams just don't look real, IMHO their footage looks more like a PS2 game to me.

Watching the ones on the Moto GP at the weekend were making me feel sea-sick :plainsmile

Perhaps it is just me :lol:

Well a lot better than the view on my Sinclair ZX81 ...................... but no, you're right. It does look like game play. Perhaps that is because the rider/track/bike combination appears too smooth? Strange effect anyway!!!!!!!
Are gyroscopic cameras there to enable the non-bike riding public to see it from a car drivers perspective?

Looks really good but it still doesn't quite have the right affect if you ask me. Maybe if they put the camera on the side of his lid (notice how I didn't write helmit, don't want to think what the responses would be to that!) it'd give a more realistic view than watching the tank jump around like that, also if it only corrected for half the tilt angle. I normally turn my head more upright when I'm leaning off the side of the bike.
