I dont know what to suggest but my daughter in law is a graphic designer and I am always amazed how she can use her Iphone in depth to achieve what she does. As she has told me, lots of other Android phones have equally good cameras, its all about if you know how to use them properly. Most of us have no real idea it seems? She also owns a 'gizmo', no idea whats its real name is. Its just a 1.5" round tube, about one foot long with a camera clamp on the top. She just holds it in her hand, switches it on and can then walk or run with it and the picture stays perfectly level with no shake or shudder. Amazing thing to my eyes and less that £300 I believe. I presume there is a gyroscope or something in the tube?

I use a combination of my iPhone and a GoPro 6, easy to use and excellent quality.
Touching from a distance, further all the time.

A lot depends on what you want to do with the videos after you have taken them!

I take a lot of video while out walking, and a lot of still images as well.

You can take video on the move, but the best quality is taken from a fixed point.
The panasonic cameras take the best video / still options at whatever price point you look at, with the Panasonic GH5 giving you the best of both worlds The Leica lens is particularly good.

I publish a lot of still images from walks at peter-thomson.com/index.html
See the latest walks for pictures taken with the GH5 - the published images are reduced from the full quality ones.
Haven't published much video from the GH5
