IIRC @photoben had issues with his DSLR equipment due to vibration from cycling his kit around from job to job. I can't imagine clipping a tree / rock with that on the front fork. Or leaning it up against something and just having it tip over.
That looks like a build for an ideal situation rather than real life. The bike equivalent of perfectly spaced out M&Ms on the floor for a vacuum cleaner infomercial.

I mean it is a show bike after all

@topkek Yes, had my Dear Susan built with short trekking suspension forks, and a elastomer mounted rack to avoid all vibrations. Bit overkill tbh, but never had any issues. Too much kit now to fit on that rack (and I live out in Walthamstow now), so have a mini electric cargo bike with front suspension and big fat tires take the buzz.
I worry about that bike in the photos above... all that shock going up and down that VERY expensive lens, with only fat-ish tires to take the bumps. Also all that weight on the forks is going to make steering feel like shit.

Are they really that delicate though?
Swarovski makes scopes for guns as well and I imagine something like this to be built like a tank.
