Would this be stable and sturdy enough for use on a motorcycle with Drift Ghost camera. (Similar to a GoPro)

It is sturdy enough for a Drift Ghost camera. I've used it for an interior car shoot, using a Canon 5d Mark II which the body weighs two pounds without the lens.

Yes. Get the good ones, don't go cheap. I used my cam on a ball head on my quad and filmed my ATV trips. Go to youtube and put in HANDICAPPED SENIOR ATVs and you can see a couple of the uploads. The others are with a Gopro.

I believe the tripod was designed for video camera use and believe some of the reviews mrntion smooth movement for video use. How much it will hold I am not sure but think minimum 10 pounds. All metal construction gave me confidence (rubber feet and grips).

I use this on my motorcycle, and it wouldn't work for a ski. The basic gopro mount will work,just used the flat sticky that came with it. Also, I found getting the lcd screen for the back amazing. Now i can line up my angles without uploading it to a computer to check how it looks.

get a go pro. much easier to mount and deal with. this camera isn't sturdy enough for a race car. if you're mounting it in a daily driver it should work but not bumpin' around a track.

I used it on a tripod to record party videos, it's very secure and stable. The only problem is when using the direct electrical outlet/plug, the battery cover must be open.

Yes, I love it! Its good for a heavy camera. Make sure all equipment is attached correctly.

Most likely not. It is slow and has no stabilizer. You'll need a good tripod and a very well lit place. Even though, fast moments will likely be fuzzy.

The only movement you're going to get is if there is wind enough to move the WHOLE tripod. There is no 'play' in the joints at all and all locks are solid. This is not a very tall tripod, so the footprint is a little narrower. The gopro won't be a problem... I think in anything 15mph or less it will probably not so much as shudder in the wind.

If you can find a way to attach it to the steadicam and the monitor, it should be sturdy enough. I used mine to mount cameras, and I mounted the arm to a Manfrotto super clamp.

Camera stays in place, no issues with the movement, just don't climb, you'll need an extra accessory for stability

Yes it is strong enough to carry it. the problem is how you set the gopro on the frame. I put it on top. Is ok but quite shaky. Another solution is to add a tall landing skid and set the camera underneath, but I can't find anything dedicated for this frame. You may need to make your own.

The tripod is ver light wt and I do not believe it will hold up well in the long run. It is stable in a closed area with my Cannon ESO Rebel T5i attached. I have not used it much, prefer to use another heaver tipod. I do not recommend it as a primary tipod.

I would say so. Its is cheap enough to buy it and jimmy it on. Be careful tough because when I installed my mount to my motorcycle/dirtbike, the threads that the nut fits into cracked and now it rely on a hose clamp. I only mention because a ski pole probably receives the same if not more vibration and shaking than my dirt bike. So your camera might not hold on to the mount itself sufficiently.

It's sturdy enough, but as a non-video photographer I don't know that this style of tripod would be the best for panning or following action. And as one of the others mentioned, it is kind of heavy.

I would say no. I used it for a couple of Honda dirt bikes and it did not seem stable. I ended up selling it and buying a small trailer instead.

Float, yes. Bike, no. The clamp is long enough to magnify the vibrations of the bike as well as every bump on the road and wind gusts; unless the road, engine, and wind is exceptionally smooth, the video might be too shaky to be much good. Get a roll bar clamp or a helmet mount instead. One plus point, though, is it's easy to attach / detach and orient, so it'll give you a better chance to try out different perspectives quickly instead of a long stop to unscrew/screw multiple attachments, and the clamp can hold onto most places - handlebars, leg guards, grabrail, more.
