or an expensive camera with stabilisation just strap a chicken to the handlebars and fasten the camera to its head?

Got myself a chicken to try this but couldn't find the head once I'd removed all the packaging: did it need to be free range?

I only had a male chicken available, so I tied my camera to my cock.

I got some really stable video of my petrol tank.
