Actually, that's one of the benefits of helmet mounting, it shows where you are looking. If something is happening and it's not directly in front of you, the helmet cam will catch it and the bar-mount camera won't. I have a Hero 2 helmet mounted, here is an example (I've posted this in other discussions on the subject of helmet cams):
But helmet mount adds weight to the helmet (and it is noticeable) and it will make your helmet less effective if you have a wreck.
That said, I'm ready to upgrade to a bar-mount camera. My biggest challenge, the next camera needs to be easy to change mounting of different bikes. I use 6 bikes and I would like to have a quick mount that allows me to quickly move it from road bike to a mtb to a city bike.
