Clear close-up footage. What do you all think?

Looks rendered to me. Seems like there's artifacting around it when it's close up. Also, the cameraman seems to predict it's movements a lot of the time somehow, which more implies they were rendering it after the fact to move with the camera or were communicating with the pilot. Maybe another drone and then rendered the sphere on top, which the size and movement would make sense for.

Also, if this stuff were to happen this low, would this really be the first time it's seen? Does that not make anyone suspicious? I know a lot of people just want to believe this stuff, but this isn't it.

A lot of videos can contain rendered elements these days, which does make the discussion difficult. I'm sure someone out there will do analysis at some point, though that's out of my wheelhouse.

And, there are a lot of "orb" shapes reported and even recorded. The buoyant, smooth movements cause a lot to be dismissed as balloons. In a lot of cases that may be the case. While I personally don't think objects of unknown design or origin have to have unique movements, I also understand dismissing them when there's weak evidence. Since this video is really clear, I think it warrants more review than most. But, I'll leave this one to experts to break down.

Moves like a drone, but I haven't heard of a spherical drone before.

Like others are saying, likely a CGI fake, or a CGI filter on drone footage.

It's definitely interesting. There doesn't seem to be noticeable wind there, ruling out a plain balloon. The "text" on it seems to consistently face the right side of the screen which would be quite a feat to maintain for something with no visible means of propulsion. And, to those pointing out the text, it's not unheard of to see symbols on UAP.

Edit: Looks like there was another orb sighting in the area in 2020. https://www.ufosightingsdaily.com/2020/03/alien-craft-seen-during-sunset-over.html?m=1
