While planes operate in heavily regulated paths, how come helicopters travel as they please without collision risk, e.g. copter cams following a car chase?

It’s like sailing on a lake. You look around and make sure you don’t collide with other aircrafts. And similar to how sailing has paths around harbors, airports have specific paths around (the bigger the airport the more complex).
What you’re thinking of, planes flying in heavily regulated paths, only happens in specific situations: when the weather is so bad that you can’t see outside or when you’re flying a big and unmanoeuverable plane where you can’t easily adjust your trajectory (such as large commercial airplanes).
