Hihi, anyone know how to achieve this kind of video effect?

I reference this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jj9otA-_MX0

1) The subject remain (largely) stationary but the surrounding move (0:05 to 0:07 and 0:41 to :0:46)
2) The whole camera turn arch to full circle (2:11 to 2:22)

(a) I assume additional equipments is require, if yes what is it?
(b) Can it also be achieve with handheld stand, basic slider or non heavy equipments?

The above mentioned shots are most likely done using a glidecam or something similar.
 

Me no videographer but I supposed it is using a curve dolly track. Or if you do not need such large radius of rotation, lock one of the dolly wheels and swing the dolly while aiming the camera in the direction of the locked wheel.

1 - camera and actor move together on a dolly?
2 - likely to be a curve track, you can try it with stabiliser as well
 

1 should be rotating platform for the first, second one is likely a stabiliser, 2 yup most likely curved track or steadicam on vest

From my understanding, all these shots can be done using steadicam circling around the subject, using tight lens like 70mm range and up, but need to keep the subject in the center frame. This will create the parallax effect.

One example is like this MV

Thanks all for your replied.
Most of mine research also point me to a dolly track;

For normal travel photography and video, i dont think it make sense to use dolly. I'll probably try stabiliser instead.
However steadicam is too exp, i'll try some cheaper alternative from taobao.
