Hey, anybody have any suggestions for a camera for making YouTube videos that would give better results/quality than using just a phone?

Wish list:
- Good stabilization
- A way to have a lapel mic or something to capture good speaking/narration audio.
- I'd like it to work well with some sort of simple video editing software (that hopefully just comes with the camera/is downloadable to work with the camera). I don't want to spend my life editing videos...just make them look decent and post.
- Videos will be made out and about here, there and everywhere versus just sitting at a desk and talking. Call it low to moderate action.

I've thought maybe the Insta Go3, but I don't know much about that other than what YouTube has fed me. I think it's only 1080p, but maybe I should focus on 4k?

Maybe a GoPro?

Is there a go-to no-brainer sort of option here?
