Insta360 GO Ultra: reconstructing its Wi-Fi camera protocol

A Python toolkit and protocol study reconstruct Insta360 GO Ultra control over Wi-Fi TCP port 6666. The protocol notes document length-prefixed protobuf command packets and H.265 video frames; the repository includes scripts for live preview and packet probing.
