Older GoPro cameras: HERO4, HERO5, HERO6 with gimbal are doing a much better job. You can find a lot of videos on YouTube where people are comparing the hyper smooth stabilization from GoPro hero 7 with the older GoPro camera on a gimbal and the gimbal stabilization is much better.
How to get better quality videos with GoPro HERO 7 camera
GoPro HERO 7 camera straight out the box is not recording the best possible video quality. To get the best results you have to change some settings. I was testing different settings for the last couple of days and the best results I had when I was recording 4k 24fps what gives me nice motion blur and these settings:
FOV: "SuperView" is doing much better than the "Wide" setting, you can correct the distortion in the postproduction if you don't like this fisheye look.
Stabilization: Auto
Protune: On
Shutter Speed: Auto
EV comp: -0.5
White Balance set manually depends on the weather - What is the color temperature. You can set this to "auto" but sometimes the camera is going crazy with the color temperature during the recording like you can see on the timelapse from the GoPro camera in the video above.
Min ISO: 100
Max ISO: 400, I am using maximum ISO 800 for dark situations but anything above that is giving too much noise.
Sharpness: Low
Color: Flat
This allows me to color grade and sharpen the video in the post-production but if you are not going to edit your video you may want to set sharpness to "Medium" and color profile to "GoPro".
RAW Audio: High
Mics: Auto
This was the best audio settings for me so far. I am going to record a lot with GoPro HERO 7 camera now and if I change any settings I will let you know.

I totally agree with you on this one, although the image stabilization on the GoPro Hero 7 range is decent, there is no way that it can beat a decent wearable gimbal.
