GP3: 1080p30 Narrow vs 2.7p30 ultrawide at DVinfo.net

I am going to filming some glassblowing and was wondering which setting i should use. If I can use a higher resolution it seems silly to not do so. A lot of what I am filming will be close up <4' away probably within 2'. I'm concerned the radiant heat of the glass and furnaces will overheat the camera....

When I'm on the river with it I use 1080p60 medium and that seems to look great.

This is really my only camera option.

Thank you.

Maybe shoot 2.7K, stand further back to stay cooler and punch in during the edit? Also lose some distortion on the edges that way.
