the OP gave a 37 minute reference video of the kind of shooting they'd like to do.. which specifically states the kind of gear that's used... yet dudes here are suggesting wearing a gimbal-on-helmet for 60minutes.

It's because of the high point of view. It doesn't make a lot of sense for him to hand hold a camera above eye height for that long, that's the kind of POV you get from a head-mounted camera. The description in the video lists the photographic equipment but not how the equipment was mounted - however the fact that he listed a wearable gimbal also counters the idea that it was handheld.

Yeah, the high point of view seemed to me that it PROBABLY wasn't being hand held.
