I would not assume that one item is legal because someone else used it. At the DC regional, we made sure that the inspectors knew what version GoPro camera we used. They told us that the GoPro Naked we had on the robot was ok. (The question of GoPro Hero 3 was not addressed.)
Go to the official Q&A to get questions answered. A442 addresses GoPro directly.
We use a GoPro "Naked" version, an earlier version with zero WiFi capability. Quite capable camera, especially with a 32 GB chip and extra battery pack added on. This gives us more than 4 hours of capacity in both video storage and power.
As the GoPro Naked provides 1080P resolution, I do not know how someone could distinguish the video produced by a GoPro Naked from the video produced by a GoPro Hero 3.

FIRST is not rocket science. But it is like drinking from a fire hose.
