Just as an FYI, the folks at the Digital Shootout particularly recommended the Hero 9 and 10 as being capable, more so than previous versions. I forget why.

I have a Hero 4 bought back in 2015. Never really used it, and my PC then could barely handle the highest-quality output, so I stopped using it. Never did take it underwater as I had the DLSR to learn underwater shortly after and put my time into that. Often thought about having it mounted to a cold shoe for video while shooting stills with the big camera.

The IS really improved.   But it can really eat up batteries if you don't disable wifi and other drains.

Mounting it is particularly beneficial when you're shooting the 100mm and want an option if a whale shark comes along.
