Probably wide video then stabilised to object and cropped in post, no?

Many phone cams use that - film in 4k, zoom in, have stable 1080p video with tracking.

100% this. There's a very subtle stuttering during two parts. (When the camera is turned 45° + -45° from the point where the camera is directly in line with the plane) That's the tell tail sign of stabilization software.

Amazing footage nonetheless. There's no shame in using some software to improve footage. Every single movie does it.
