This was originally used for a hang glider, but I am sure it would work in other situations. Why not use it on a down-tube of a bicycle, or attached a DIY dolly?
The design requirements are pretty basic. The mounts needs to be light weight and robust to withstand my less than perfect landings (I’m still a Hang-1 at this time). It must be easily and quickly attachable/detachable without special tools – has to be done in the field after all. It needs to be adjustable so the camera can be setup to point in any direction.

Good idea, but it looks like the mass of the camera on a long arm like that would magnify any road vibration and would wobble badly in any application where it wasn’t hanging down — you need at least one (preferably two) more attachment points for stability.
