"Thanks @Dan. To me, the value of getting the output of the GoPro beamed to ground is that it aids composition. For many other situations I can see streaming from a different camera being fine, and even a superior option when low latency is paramount."

"Important point raised in the comment by Tom Mahood. Drones aren't banned in all 401 parks suddenly and by fiat.
