It should work fine as long as your camera is loaded in the tablet. Gopro 3 is in the list. Just put the camera in the gimbal and plug in as normal. When you build a survey or put in a camera trigger waypoint it should go. Only caution I have is make sure that the trigger locations are far enough apart that the camera will write to the card before the next trigger point.

There are a few videos on Youtube that we have our new pilots watch before coming to class. One is about 50 minutes long and is very helpful. The other is about 10 minutes and is from the Mapir folks. It also is helpful to get things started.
