The wing gear has a hydraulic jack that tilts them when not under compression so as they will stow when retracted. If they weren't tilted to such a degree then they would not have been able to get all 16 Dunlops in the belly.

Balleka, Awesome video dude! Thanks for sharing you must have had an awesome F/E and F/O on board assisting in a completely glitch free and smooth operation of the Alternate nose gear system. That's what Boeing designed the system for!

Ps they use 1 cable tie to suppress a 250Lb Psycho on a cocaine and booze fueled frenzy. I think a teeny camera out of the air flow would survive 220Kts airflow with a surface area the square route of poop all. Looking Fwd to the next one Balleka!
