I'm kind of amazed they were even able to record a video in a 1200 Tesla magnetic field.

Magnetic fields tend to decay with distance from the source which helps.

And broadly speaking by the cube of the distance from the source apparently. But in this case it decays from a mind-boggling starting level by everyday life standards. If that camera is 5 meters away from the source the field there is still about 10 Tesla. I think that's about an order of magnitude more than most MRI machines for clinical purposes, and those already warrant a good deal of care with effects on metals.
