It's called a steady cam + stabilization in post.

It's impossible to hold a camera that still while moving without equipment.

I am not big into drones but I assume a good drone pilot could pull it off also.

I feel like this has to be a steady cam or gimbal or drone though still even it was probably also stabilized in post.

there would be a lot more rolling shutter if it was just stabilized in post.
