The weight is not the issue here. The issue is that a GoPro has a very wide lens and you will have a hard time seeing what you are filming. You would have to film is as high of a resolution as possible, so you can zoom-in in post production. Or you could change the lens on the GoPro to a more tele like lens.

I just ordered some from here, 30x30mm and 40x40mm. Will probably 3d print something to try them out.

I actually have a custom lens in my gopro that would allow me to use it in this application. In your post, you mentioned thaymt the hardest part was sanding the tube or bushing? Which piece are you referring to and are you referring to the inner diameter or outter of that piece?
