There is some bounce that can be seen in the Kimset video, although not as much as probably existed in the actual view. Look at the relationship between the nose grab-iron and the track rail passing into it. In a person's view, there would be lots of side-to-side and up and down differential movement between the grab-iron and the rail. In the Kimset video, there is a little differential movement there. In this video, there is none at all. But it certainly looks real in every other way, so I conclude that it is real, and bounce has been removed, either in the camera or by post processing. Certainly there would be a good reason to intentionally clean up the video by removing the bounce. </p>
