The GoPro HD HERO is another option that some people prefer. They make a mount for the camera that interfaces with standard helmet NVG adapters:

THESE GUYS make a picatinny rail adapter for the GoPro, and GoPro themselves make a whole mess of mounts for different applications.

Contour makes a pic rail adapter; it's plastic and a bit on the cheesy side but works most of the time.

The Contours tubular profiles makes it less obtrusive and much more "wearable".

Tactical Distributors carries the Contour and is having a 20% off sale.

True, the Contour HD has a similar profile to a handheld flashlight. The GoPro would be very easy to snag on something if it were anywhere but on the front of the helmet (which, if you have NVGs, is a no-go).

Ops Core makes an adapter for the Contour HD, real low profile, around $14.

If you get the ach arc rail get the special mount if you are going to run the contour, best in terms of low profile instead of using the picatiny mount on a rail segment on the arc-rail

I got my contourHD as a lightning deal on amazon for $90, I've heard that since then a similar deal has been offered for the Roam variant as well
