I suggest you also order the media pack too as it makes a HUGE difference to the sound.

Opt for a min of a 256gb card. That should give you about 2 hours recording at 4k at 60 fps. You can record higher than 4k, but if it is just for youtube, I would suggest staying at 4k.

Opt too for the better battery, as it will give you about an hour recording.

Personally for ease, carry a battery pack and plug it in, if you use the battery up. Yes you can swap batteries, but this is a bit of a pain, and an external battery is just easer.

While the gopro is great at stabilising, it is bigger than you think. My gopro 7 is smaller and I think lighter than my new one. Now this means if you have it on such as a body belt, the thing can bounce.

I also find low light they struggle.

Mine is the model below 11. It may be 10 or 9, I forget, but basically it is the same. But I would stick to only recording Horizontal only, as I presume if you are shooting two lots of vid, it will make the camera work even harder. And they do get hot. So you may risk your gopro shutting down to cool if your shooting for a long time. Not to mention the card will fill faster.
