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.

The change of title says it all.

Seriously, it's pretty obvious to most how this video was shot , just by watching the video and seeing the moves, how the camera height changes slightly at times..etc.  -if you actually watch the video throughout,  or even skipped thru it a times like I did,  as I noticed the parts that were clearly shot with a handheld with a gimbal. that merely has the option of being wearable., as well as being mounted many other ways.

But let me put an end to this helmet nonsense.

Open up the video, skip to around 22:35.    The Shadow tells the truth.  It's a GoPro on a stick handheld at eye level.

case closed.
