What is the camera used on the Motorbike Show?

[Throttled]

In the latest series of the Motorbike Show, when Henry Cole rides that episode's bike on that week's route, there must be a camera attached to the front of the bike. It moves around as if it is a drone, but there is no way a drone could fly so close to the bike. Has anyone got any idea what the camera is? The effect is amazing.

Probably a 360 camera.

I thought it was filmed from a soft top camera car.

The camera cars are usually either a range rover or discovery, the on bike stuff will be a 360

OK, I’ll bite - what is a “360”. ?

It can't be, as sometimes the camera pans round from facing Henry Cole to facing forward and there is no vehicle there.

Hopefully we will have a rally next year and I plan to get a camera for the ride out. That will look amazing.

So what is the camera mounted on ? The handlebars ?

The video above shows the various ways that blogger mounts the camera. It is mounted on a pole and sometimes he shoves it down the back of his jacket, or he sits on it!

I hope you have a good PC to edit the footage, the levels of data produced are incredible.

the 360 is nuts., you  simply choose the angle of shots when editing.

 

a nut job on youtube called maxwrist uses one alot. baffled me at first how he can overtake a bike or police car then pan the camera to it lol
