Looking to add a 4/3 camera to my collection. It will mainly be used for 4K video.

Leaning heavily towards a G85 but with the price of the G7, curious how much of a difference there is between the two? How do the low light 4k performances compare? Is the G85 significantly better than the G7 when on a tripod?

Everyone gave you good answers but I think nobody answered the direct question. I've owned them both, of course the G85 is a big upgrade in terms of features. On a tripod for video there would no difference. You might consider a GH4 for solely 4k video on a tripod, it'd cost about the same as a G85.

If memory serves there is a video from The Camera Store that shows that the G7 is slightly better than the GH4 in low light.
