There was also a dude on YT with a non pan wide lens adapter again - mysteriously hard to find.

Also weirdly the actual name of it has been removed from the description.

I searched and searched before with no results.

7-14mm is very expensive - £700+ omg - Its not fish eye tho is it?

Looks like I may have to try out the Go Pro 8/9 and light the subject as well as possible because for £700 + I am better off making do with not too many presenter close ups and using cut aways - you can get two Go Pro 9s for £700 for this application.

There is one or two on eBay for 400 odd but yes again no stability -

The 7-14 is very good, and quite rectilinear, and Panny bodies (at least) do software correction for what distortion it does have.

I found the thread about wide angle converters, and my experiments with a 14/2.5 and Tiffin converter. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/63464192 If I didn't have the 7-14 already, I might be using that combination as a 10.5.
