I have seen 'flying camera' videos before, but only when behind a car at modest speeds.
Have never known how it is done.

In this instance the camera apparatus coped with 200 mph and also stayed upright each time the motorbike leaned.
All that can be seen, are two straps or brackets to the rear of the motorbike and occasionally a shadow of the camera

Thank you for your replies.

The photographic result with a motorbike on the Isle of Man course is fantastic. The way the the camera always remained upright, being able to see the rider travelling on narrow roads at such high speeds, all add greatly to the spectacle.

This photography technique seems to be very rarely used. I presume the setup is more complex, so much easier just to fit a camera in the conventional way.

I noticed two lengths of a structure behind the bike, so they were not using the clever software that has been described, to hide that.
