Hand held for sure. It is also a scale model driving around in the woods. You can tell by the size of the grass in comparison to the car and the fact that the "drivers" hands never move. The sound of the car is also wrong.

So, is this a large lens zooming out, or a fast drone flying back? How'd they do this?

Yes, I'm well aware that it is a RC model car.

If nothing else, the 'giant' cat at the beginning gives it away.

Looks like a drone shot. That remote looks like the phantoms. See video I posted above.

Yes, I know it's a drone, my question is whether the drone or the camera is doing the zoom out? Cause it zooms out pretty fast.

If it's the phantom 2 it gets up to 35 mph. Most likely the drone pulling away.

Phantom2 stock limits at 45 degree's about 40mph full throttle.
