I'm a parasitic landlord that needs to get a job instead of stealing worker's money. Make sure to remind me when I post.

(If there's a better forum to put this in, let me know)

Looking for a videocamera to do clean product videos, twirling on turntables and maybe toys walking around.

Would like the camera to also be versatile enough to possibly do interviews on a greenscreen in the future.

I've already gotten recommendations from friends for lighting setups/tascam audio, etc.

A friend is recommending a GoPro 7 because it's 4K and has improved image stabilization. Does this sound feasible or should I go with a more traditional DSLR?

Looking at a $1000 budget (separate from the audio/lighting, etc)

Not GoPro. I'd probably get something like a Sony Alpha mirrorless. Still, lighting is going to be super important.

Get a used Panasonic GH4. They're dirt cheap on the market but do amazing video. You'll come in under budget so you'll be able to get a handheld rig and a lens or two for it as well.
