I did a very similar thing with my group of young volunteer firefighters (also in Germany). We launched a total mass of 500 grams in order to avoid having to get a special permit for this (note: this will change in Germany quite soon!)

We also used a Raspberry Pi Model A+, but recorded 720p video. We powered it using a 9V block battery and regulated the voltage to 5V. Worked like a charm!

Here's some videos and pics: http://www.florianerzons.de/yffzhab/

Edit:

Completely forgot. I also wrote some blog posts for anyone asking themselves how this can be done:
