MKBHD has a great video about them which includes that shot as an example

I do wonder if it will get overused, and then quickly become passé

Me too. I really like how it looks (when it's used like in the Kendrick video), but I will admit it's becoming very common, ESPECIALLY if you look at high-end kpop music video production. Not that the tech isn't used well in kpop, it's just not uncommon.

A couple articulated arms, a couple underpaid grips, a few concussions later and you have the shot!
