For the record, I'm not a professional, and obviously, all I can do is guess, but here's the evidence I submit to judge.
1. I didn't notice any aliasing anywhere, so I think they're using a camera that is designed specifically for video.
2. It looks like every shot uses the same lens, and it's fairly wide.
3. A lot of those shots would require a really expensive dolly/jib, with a really experienced professional who knows how to operate it. My intuition tells me these guys did not have those resources, so yes, I think they used a drone.
4. I'm not seeing the grain or the perfect exposure that you referenced. This looks to me like regular old inexpensive automatic-exposure video.
With all that evidence, I think they used a GoPro on a drone, or maybe even the on-board camera that is included with the drone. And yes, I do think they did some color grading.
