I'm not sue if I'm understanding you correctly, but are you saying that want a new camera that also works on the side of your head as well as having the AOV you require?
Yes.
In 2015 I had a fantasy of becoming a YouTube MotoVlogger like

I researched the best action cameras at the time and they were the Sony HDR-AS200V, and the GoPro 4. I chose the Sony because it had an external mic jack, and I’ve been in love with Sony consumer electronics since 1980. Lol
In 2017 I started using my Sony AS-200 as a dash cam in my car out of curiosity.
In 2019 I started using my Sony AS-200 to start my Panzer Platform YouTube channel to document the “reconditioning” of a used car purchase.
This Sony Action Cam has been used, abused, dropped, subjected to vibration from mounting to motorcycles, and it just will not die. It has been the most universal, swiss army knife of any electronic gadget I’ve ever owned. So of course in 2017 Sony abandoned the Action Cam market, and I’m left with no alternatives for my application. Lol
In 2019 I bought the flagship GoPro 4K60fps, and the image quality was amazing. However it would overheat, lock up, and become unresponsive after 2.5 minutes of filming. I film all my YouTube videos (99%) in one single take that are around 22 minutes long because I don’t have a computer, or editing software. And I just upload the raw footage.
The Sony AS-200 actually has two different AOV / FOV 170° without EIS, and 120° with EIS. I prefer the narrow FOV 99% of the time. The GoPro box design does not work for my application because it’s too heavy to be work on my forehead, and wobbles around. I mount the Sony on a pair of $1 sunglasses with the lenses removed with 3M Dual Lock. Having the Sony camera lens about an inch from my right eyeball has been ideal. I’m starting to ramble so I’ll end this post here with some various videos filmed with the Sony AS-200.
