I'm sort of doing the opposite of you. I was shooting video on a GoPro Hero 3 Black for about 5 years, then upgraded to the LX10/Nauticam. I'm not super happy with the 4k stabilization out of this camera, on land I'm happy with it, underwater is the problem. In 1080 it has 5 axis stabilization but you don't get the horizontal level stabilization in 4k.

I've tried adding arms/floats/lights for stability, but it's actually a bit better handheld with just the nauticam hand strap.

I find myself shooting 1080 60 with this camera primarily. I just picked up a Hero 8 Black yesterday to see how much it's improved over the 3.

I am very picky when it comes to stabilization in my video. Everything else I like about the LX10.

My biggest issues with the GoPro are more about post processing videos in Ppro and pics in lightroom. The quality gets degraded wayy too fast when starting to push the colors, and the noise above iso 200ish drives me nuts.

Stabilization isnt a huge concern of mine right now as I mainly use short cuts in videos and think I should be able to keep the rig steady for a couple seconds at a time, and if need use warp stabilizer.
