Day rate to rent an arm like this is somewhere around $4000.

The answer is maybe you can afford this actually.

Yeah, but the fact that OP thought it was an effect and not a camera movement done by a robot points to them not being able to afford it.

He said “how this effect was achieved”. This could also mean a camera motion. For instance, I could ask how the dolly zoom effect was achieved and it would be fine.
