4k pocket camera that shoots at 60 fps?

I do not think there is a 4k60p pocket camera. The GH5 is probably the smallest camera out there that shoots in 4k60p. That is a lot of data flying by!

then perhaps you can answer my next question that's baffling me.

I want to get a 4K pocket camera to use as a stationary camera for documentaries, music videos etc so I can zoom in (post) with a sharper image in Adobe Premiere. I also want to use my canon xa20 that shoots in 59.94 which is 60 fps. (hd)

how would I mix both of these frames rates and formats in the Premiere?

If for example I could only shoot 4k in 30fps and I wanted to slow down a 60fps video wouldn't the overall video look weird with the two formats mixed? I couldn't export the whole thing in 60fps when there is a 4k 30fps clips could I?

Maybe I'm overthinking it but to me it would look weird and people would notice.
 
The videos could be mixed but the 30p video will stand out a bit with a little motion difference. This may be lessened if it is a stationary shot but any subject movement will have a different cadence. Slo motion would actually be better for mixing since the 60p look will be broken although the 60p footage will let you slow down more before falling apart.

This is easy to test. Shoot some different stuff in HD and mix it up. See what you like or dislike.

What is your final output framerate?

I'm still experimenting with final output rate. to me a music performance looks weird in 60fps. I have a few friends who have let me film them perform to test it out. the 60fps didn't pick up the motion blur of the guitar players hands or the strings moving on the guitar. I then recorded my friend again at 30fps and it looked more real.

a second thing I'm wondering about is this. How good is the 4k on my iphone 6s? Can I legit have it on a tripod and then crop in post without losing detail or do I really need a professional black magic or Red camera for that?
 
Only you can decide what quality works for your projects. Remember motion blur is a function of the shutter speed, not the framerate. 60p and 30p often use 1/60th for the shutter and 24p uses 1/48th or 1/50th.

Yes, 60p is best for live stuff and 24p is the standard for everything else. 30p is in the middle and not used quite as often but still good for internet viewing.

what about cropping with the 4k iphone footage? will it be better quality than cropping 1080p with a canon xa20?

I did shoot at 1/60th shutter and 60fps and got no motion blur at all. I've always read 24 or 30fps is good for live stuff
 
I wouldn't shoot 60fps to begin with, unless I wanted to put almost everything into slow motion. Just because the camera can do it doesn't mean you should. You have to decide what aesthetic you want for your final product.
