I could do with a helmet-mounted camera that isn't too 'in your face' - like the GoPro style cameras that are mounted on top of the helmet are.
Ideally I'd want a cylindrical-shaped camera that can be mounted to side of the helmet. The only ones I've seen that might fit the bill are Contour Roam cameras but I don't know whether these can be mounted to the side of the helmet.
I helmet mounted my ContourGPS a few times. The front has a rotating bezel; you can level the view at any angle.
I didn't have the Flex strap at the time; so I used strips from an old tube:

Kinda heavy; but if centered on helmet - acceptable.
I'm experimenting with a Polaroid CUBE now. Lighter and smaller:
