He mentions in the comments that he was using a GoPro Hero3 Black, which is the latest and greatest compact HD camera ($$$$). He also says he was using his quad, but doesn't specify any further. It could be a packaged job like the AR Drone 2 ( http://ardrone2.parrot.com/ ) or a custom quad designed for long flights and heavy lifting. But he also says it only took a little over 10 minutes from start to finish, and the AR Drone 2 can carry a GoPro camera for that long, and have enough range to do all that filming.
