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.

and turns out you're 100% wrong

OK.

But I personally would 100% prefer to use a gimbal on a helmet than hand hold one for 37 minutes.

I wouldn't even want to hold helium balloons out in front of me at eye level for 37 minutes.

But anyone who wants to hold their hand up for 37 minutes, more power to ya.
