I watched the live feed, it was spectacular!!! I love the way he touched down, walking like nothing happened. A great step in aerospace engineering. Hopefully allowing for possible ways for high orbit bailout.

FYI this guy is Austrian.
They were probably just recording from that camera, and will have video later. Although it would have been cool to have a helmet cam as he stepped off.

Let me guess: it's a conspiracy.
FWIW, I watched it live in HD on my computer and he started spinning head over feet fairly violently because of the lack of atmosphere and ability to stabilize himself until some air molecules started hitting his body. Imagine putting a camera in a basketball and shooting hoops. That's what it would have looked like.
