How Orbitrace measures lean angle
Two methods, depending on your data:
- From the GPS: in a steady turn, lean depends on speed and how tight the turn is. Orbitrace computes it from the trajectory, so it works whatever the camera mount — helmet, chest, tank or tail.
- From the motion sensors: when the camera is rigidly mounted on the bike, the gyroscope and accelerometer give the roll directly.
Either way, it is an estimate from consumer sensors — great for comparing your rides and sharing, not a calibrated racing data logger.
Gauges built for riders
- Lean angle with left and right records;
- Artificial horizon in aircraft style;
- G-force in g, for braking and acceleration;
- Speed dial in km/h or mph, map of the road or the track;
- Highlights: top speed, biggest lean and peak G found automatically — one click to export ±10 s around them.
Track day or mountain road
On the track, put the lean and speed gauges in a corner and the circuit map in the other; export each session’s best lap. On the road, a satellite map that turns with your heading tells the story of a pass better than words. Vertical 9:16 export keeps everything in place for Reels.
Compatible cameras
GoPro with GPS (HERO5 to HERO11, HERO13, MAX), Insta360 X3, X4 and X5, or any camera plus a GPX from your phone or watch.
