Obscure adapter

Hey, guys! So, I need a camera which I can use for the live feed for a robotics project. I'm thinking about using the GoPro Hero, but it hasn't got a micro-HDMI out, but it DOES have a micro-sd slot. I was thinking I could get a micro sd-USB adapter, plug the USB end into my Arduino, then send the data the GoPro is writing to the operator on the ground. The problem: I haven't found anybody who has such an obscure cable, so what should I do? Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks for your time and effort!

I don't think they make that. Also, I believe different versions of the GoPro have HDMI out.

Uh, wow, I don't see this working at all.  The GoPro is not outputting a video stream over the SD card, it's writing a FILE.  It's just using it as storage. You'd need to do a LOT of engineering to get something else to pretend that it is an SD Card and then read the data as it's been written in real time over a display.  Like, yeah... It'd be way easier to just get a suitable camera.

Ok, thanks!

Another option is the Mobius Action camera, I know some FPV pilots (not ones that fly seriously anyway) use the live HDMI out to fly. But there's a good 100-200Ms of latency from the video out to when it's displayed.
