Default Looking to Enter Aerial Photography

I was looking to start taking aerial photographs and videos and was thinking about the new Hero 3 by GoPro. My questions are:
1. Would this camera be a good idea?
2. I am rebuilding an avistar, thinking of putting a mount their under fuse, would a plane this big mind the little extra weight?
3. If I were to put a mount on a parkflyer (soarstar or radian type of plane), would the extra weight matter.
4. Is there a better camera option out there?

***I am aware of how controversial this issue is. I will NOT be flying FPV, the plane would never leave my sight, I will not fly higher than allowed (or I normally do). Just looking to see what the world looks like from out there.***
Thank you!
