@smtabatabaie from pointgrey the series Flea and Grasshopper, over USB3, have resolutions that are quite good for HD+ environments with a framerate of 60 FPS. Also you have a variety of lens that you can use, which is a possibility that you don't have with a GoPro. The PointGrey driver handles the connection to the hardware for you, abstracting if its USB3, Firewire or GigE, with the same calls.
Other option is to use the blackmagic SDK and use one of the new drone cameras (Micro Cinema Series); again you will have a variety of lens that you don't have in the GoPro world. I haven't work with the sdk in the last 3 years, and before that I only have used it to control an ATEM, so you need to research the current SDK capabilities.
