At one time they were using gopros.

Pardon my ignorance, but is there any reason why a GoPro (Max) or Insta360 is not sufficient?

The gopro is way bigger and afaik it doesn't connect to the internet and stream.

Seconding a Yi. Especially with the newer firmwares. (It'll do 2k video capture that upscale reasonably to 4k supposedly, but I use 1080p).The app is a bit clunky, but the camera is spectacular value compared to the GoPros near the price bracket.
