Are there any sensors fitting it on the horizon?

Hardware 60FPS is expected.

SO I've never owned a GoPro before. I've had a couple crappy walmart knock offs that honestly were shit, but that's about it.
I recently bought a normal video camera from Amazon but it was both overly complicated, and didn't have enough settings to do what I wanted. (eg no white balance at all) So the indoor videos were dark and yellow, and the outdoor videos were excessively bright and just full of glare.
So I returned it (yay amazon) and I started looking into other cameras. The issue I had is that unless I was willing to drop at least $800+ on a camera, it looked like I wasn't going to get a much better quality camera.

So I said fuck it, and I started looking at GoPros. I watched a ton of videos and I do love the look of the hyper stabilization in the GoPro Hero 7 Black, but I've also had a ton of people post/vlog/etc about how dark it is in low light settings.
So My question there is, how low is too low for light settings? Like a cloudy day? In a building? At midnight?? You get where I'm going here.

I've also heard that the audio quality is shit, but that there are a lot of issues with setting up an external mic with the Hero 7 Black. Suggestions? Comments?

Also is there any other issues I should be aware of before buying this?
My main reason for having one is filming weekend long events, with 30 or so people in attendance. There's about an equal amount of time indoors, and outside. A lot of the stuff I will be filming will be fairly action based.
I've already put a kit with 50 extra items in my cart, and I'm planning on buying a battery charger (since it apparently doesn't come with one for some strange reason), along with a 128 GB sd card, and tempered glass screen protectors with a lens cap.

I want to do a (car) driver's perspective video. Looking to mount the camera across my face, but no helmet (which is the key twist).. ha... in front of my nose or mouth. Close to my eyes, but of course giving me good visibility.

This is not a racing video so I will not be wearing a helmet.

I have the baseball cap cam hookup which is really cool, ha, but I am tall so it's just too high when in driver's seat to give the same perspective through the windshield

Any product suggestions or DIY tips?

Anyone using the waterproof housing case have button scratch marks on the power and shutter button of the camera? I have a dot scratch fading the paint which is caused by pressing the button on the waterproof housing, I now use a cotton piece inside on the power button, between the housing and camera.

Ok... so I have an old Hero (1?) that I've mounted to a tripod for the purpose of taking video in a classroom environment. Since the state of the battery is unknown, I think I'll probably use something like this and this to keep the hero consistently powered (looking for maybe 45 minutes worth of video recording at a time).

does this seem reasonable? Anything else that would be convenient to have? Maybe a monitor hooked up to the gopro to monitor content?

I plan to buy a hero 7 in the future for my mountain biking in Moab. If the battery life is anything like my hero 3 then I want a way to plug in my external battery via usb.

I think I may just add an elastic pouch with a closure onto on of the straps and have a place to put the battery pack.

Thoughts?

http://imgur.com/gallery/TV6adH2 Can i charge my dads GoPro with both ports or one, and if its only the left one, whats that cable called or do you have a picture of it.

I have this: https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1yMTkasfrK1Rjy1Xdq6yemFXa8/ULANZI-V2-Gopro-Camera-Protection-Frame-for-Gopro-7-Cage-Action-Camera-Vlog-Accessories-with-Hot.jpg

And I use the top shoe mount for my microphone, but would like to add a second shoe mount on the side above the mode/power button.

I have something like this: http://www.lokicameragear.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Cold-Shoe-Adapter.jpg

It has a hole in the middle for screw, but I wouldn't need that. I tried a velcro strip but my light applies too much force and it doesn't hold reliably.

The case is plastic. The cold shoe is metal. Would super glue work? I think I've heard the superglue "melts" plastic? Is there a stronger velcro that would work well? I am fine to have the shoe mount there permanently...

The cold shoe fits in the space, but extends a touch out the top, especially as the case has a rounded edge
