Want to start getting some rollers, wondering if the hand grip mount they offer provides enough stability for some good footage or if there are any other recommendations

Depends on which gopro you have. I have one of the newer ones with image stabilization and on video it's amazing. But I don't think the stabilization works with photos but mine does take 4k pictures which are really good as well. I think I have the hero 7 black but not positive, at work currently.

yeah I have the go pro 8, the stabilization helps a ton but when shooting up close it can be a little bit shaky holding it with my hand

Maybe try a hand held stabilizer? I know they have them for phones idk if they have any for gopros specifically. I wanted to get one for my phone but I don't take photos or videos enough to justify the price.

The wide angle lens on the GoPro makes for a....... "unique" photo imo. You can buy a really decent used DSLR for about the same price as a GoPro. And they take much nicer photos.

60D is a great camera, and I had one a few years back too. I've since moved on to mirrorless cameras and love my a7iir and wish I could afford an a7iiir. Mine takes phenomenal video and the best photos I've ever taken.
