I think farther back might be better to try and keep all 3 hangers in better focus. You want to be directly aimed at the spring hangers. I don't know about a magnet, I'd be afraid of it falling off. Something like electrical tape or zip ties might be better. Regardless, you don't want the camera moving around. Depending on the camera, it might help to also temporarily mount a light (flashlight?) aimed at the hangers due to the high contrast between the underside of the TT and the bright sunlight.
It'd be a kind of fun experiment and you don't know what you might learn. It will depend on the design of the particular frame and you *could* be very surprised at what you see. If anyone does this, it'd be interesting to see a video clip.

Wow, really, an inch movement?
Yes, if not a bit more. That's one big contributing factor to cracks in the I-beam immediately above the spring hangers. I believe there is someone else on this forum that understands this phenomena.
If you were going to attach a magnet mounted camera to the frame to view this flex, would you attached it to the main beam looking to the hanger. So looking directly back or forward?
