It's 2021. In addition to the latest GoPro, you gotta have a drone with autonomous 'follow me'.

My advice would be to snag an inexpensive action camera off Amazon and use it to learn how to make good videos. Learn what makes an interesting shot and what is boring. Learn how long a shot should be. Learn about POV. Learn about lighting. Learn about high speed/slow motion. Learn about tiny planet. Learn about panning. Learn about approaching/leaving sequences. Learn about editing (8 hrs of raw footage = 5~10 minutes of compelling video). Learn about the enhancement a quality, tastefully done soundtrack makes.

Then go buy that GoPro on a gimbal.

And a drone.
