If you don't mind my derailing the conversation a bit, could you ask your father what he would recommend for 4K/60fps video as competition for the Panasonic GH5s? In its weight class, it's one of the few 60fps (and 400Mbps bitrate capable) cameras that can be mounted to a relatively small sized gimbal, and flown on a drone that doesn't cost $10,000.

Is there anything expected to be released in the next few months that will be in a similar price, feature set and weight class?

I just asked my dad and he says that he doesn't have a good answer for you. Personally he doesn't do much video -- just still photography -- and professionally he mostly engages with OEMs way upstream from the actual products; often he doesn't even know what the products will be. So, alas, no good answer.

Personally I would suggest checking out the new Fuji X-T3 -- I just got it and am very happy with the video quality. It's actually the only other small camera right now that will do 4k60p 10-bit.

I just spent ten minutes skimming reviews and specs for that - it looks very nearly ideal for what I have in mind. Should be sub $1500 for just the camera body, no lens, and is under 500 grams.

The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema could be a fit for you. I have not researched it, but just a quick look at the their propaganda makes it seem intriguing for you purpose. It does 4K60 RAW which should better the 400Mbps h.264. You'll almost spend as much money on a couple of CFast2.0 cards than the camera itself though. It is also a MFT, so your existing lenses for you GH5 should work fine.
