Video production - iPhone 13 or GoPro Hero7 White

[JQ]

Apologies in advance, but I have absolutely no knowledge on this subject matter.

In 2 weeks time I need to take lots of footage of my son skiing to enable us to produce circa 10 / 15 min video as evidence of his abilities for his GCSE in PE.

I have available to me a Go-Pro Hero7 White and an iPhone 13. Which would be the best tool to use both in terms of quality of the footage and ability to create a video after the fact?

And would a gimbal be a useful investment? I have managed to borrow one, but unfortunately it's for a GoPro 3, so my Hero 7 doesn't fit.

Many thanks

Can't help with those exact models but I'm looking to replace my iphone 8 and Hero 3 with the latest respectively.

There are a lot of comparison videos up that might help on YT. Perhaps try there?

I quite liked this one. It helped me. As a result, I likely won't bother with another gopro and spend the money on decent underwater protection to go with my upcoming 14 pro and a few other mounting tools.

For what you are trying to do, I'd probably punt on the gopro. It's what they were made for. Gimbal? Sorry no experience.

I would go iPhone 13. Maybe use to GoPro for some PoV footage too.

Cheers for the comments. I does feel like the iPhone would be better as I can actually see what I'm recording. I've found the GoPro quite fiddly in the past.

Will possibly get a gimbal to go with it - looking at one of these https://www.dji.com/uk/osmo-mobile-6

This, GoPro on him, phone hand held by you, on a gimbal Would make it look a lot nicer, just something like an Osmo.
