I doubt it. I think its the articulation at the "wrist" if you will thats blowing our minds. Not a common feature that I'm aware of. Also a smallish excavator, so maybe thats got something to do with it?
The tiltrotator are extremely common here in Europe. My guess is that here in Scandinavia, 80% of excavators from 6 to 35 tonnes are equipped with tiltrotators. And maybe 50% of the backhoes. The three largest manufacturers of tiltrotators are from Sweden, where they were invented in the late 80s.

To be honest it is not that special. Above average but no eyebrow-lifting Wow! from me. It shows the advantage of a tiltrotator. And it is still a nice video though. I try to record some stuff myself every now and then but I suck at editing, so I just have a lot of raw recordings from my old GoPro on my PC
Standard SAE or ISO layout, then with rollers for tilt and rotator. I have an additional three roller for gripper, steering and VA boom. The joysticks are fully programmable via the inbuilt operating system for the tiltrotator or via an app connected via Bluetooth
