@kurtz433: I would like to.see that as well! Given that carbon doesnt flex and carbon and AL wheels don't feel too radically diffrent from one another, I would guess not too much flexing. But who the hell knows except these guys with 1500fps cameras.
Back in 07 I shot some test footage at around 1200fps for archery tuning and I can say that the playback of this footage looks like it was shot closer to 120fps or else the playback speed is cranked-up. If we were actually watching playback at the native 1500fps you would see all kinds of crazy stuff and a single jump might actually take closer to 1min to view a whole 3 seconds of live action.
@Skurploosh: yeah so...that's what I was suggesting... when I suggested they might have cranked-up the playback speed. Typical motion picture shot and played back at a native fps for our brains to not wig-out on is closer to 24fps; an event like a 3 sec jump, with a radical-ass tail whip, shot at 1500 fps and played back at regular speed would take about 187.5 exceedingly unflattering and painfully boring seconds to view.
My DSLR (or SLT, rather) records at 60fps and I don't see much difference, which is why I call shennanigans and agree with you, looks more like 120fps or 240 even, at least for a second or two. Rocks bouncing and spoke wobbling looks more like shutter speed tweak with 120fps
I actually found that quite disappointing. I wish they had edited it so we could see better how the bike flexes. Or correct whip technique. The spoke twang was alright, I guess.
I agree with ya. I'd have loved to see more shots of the suspension working, the frame flexing, and certainly, like you said, slow-mo of a complete whip, from takeoff to landing.
....i'll turn off my nerd cap now.
