Make sure your camcorder allows video recording from the external devices (AV-in enabled).

Thanks for the info and the link!
I'm not sure if you are looking for HD or not. Below are some links to SD video helmet cams. If you are looking for HD, be prepared to spend handsomely for any rig that you plan to use in that manner. It can be done but it will cost you.

I have used the one above on several occasions. Easy to use and you don't need a recorder. It records on an sd card. That's one less piece of gear to worry about. As with all of these cameras (reasonably priced one's anyway) quality is not the best. But for some applications, it does the job.
The one above is also water proof.... Big bonus if you ask me...... Plus, you can mount the thing to almost anything.. Trust me, darn near anything..

And this one.... You can actually rent with this company. Always a good thing to do before you lay out all that $$$$$$$

This one is also water proof. I have only used this one once. Not bad, but too many connections to worry about. It also means too many things to go wrong (bad cable or input, or the dreaded "forgot that cable syndrome").
Hope that helps. I've used many different types and styles of these small cameras, so I do have some familiarity with them. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Thanks - yes HD would be nice.
Here it is!
There are not too many of the "self contained" packages such as this one. In fact, you would be hard pressed to find another that would fit your application needs. This is in it's first phase of delivery and I'm not sure of the availability yet. You may have to call Sony directly for more information. But this little gem has been highly desired in my field. This seems as if it would fit the bill for what you are looking for. There is quite a bit of information on this link as to the specs and other functions this little wonder can do.
Hope this helps...

The Oregon Scientific camera has a narrow field of view and I haven't found it to be of much use. I'll sell you mine for $40 if you're interested.
