I have and have used the hero3 which I'm sure is not as nice as the current models. I mounted it to my snorkeling mask on a night dive in Hawaii 3 years ago while viewing the manta rays feeding on plankton, came out awesome but definitely picked up all the muffled sounds of people hooting and hollering, and the sound of the camera entering and exiting the water envelop is obnoxious but very good video quality. In this case there was a lot of light. They use a sealed light box anchored to the ocean floor about the size of a refridgerator.
I've also used it from the surf in false dawn conditions and sunrise/set mounted on my chest. The video is grainy but the top water action was cool enough to want to watch again.

Were you wearing a head lamp, and if so, did it help at all?

They are terrible in low light..I wear mine sometimes in surf or at canal . I wear the chest mount , gets a good angle. You don't realize how much your head moves when fishing, the head videos make me nauseous.

Does your incessant whining make you feel better? How about you just shut the hell up and suck it up? It's a fishing forum , so please just stop.

Wearing one yes, but it was not "on". I think it is worth testing out, your model camera has probably been upgraded for things like low light conditions. Removing or reducing of the "fish eye" look.
I think if I reduced the frames per second it would likely take better low light video. For example 60 fps has a super fast shutter speed which lets a small amount of light in and therefore creates the grainy end product in low light conditions. However in full daylight, 60fps video while getting into a helicopter while hot will capture the blade movement. The problem with 60fps video is that each frame equals a piece of information that your camera stores, so the file sizes are huge. Like Tysdad said an old computer likely cannot handle that.
