I did exactly what you are trying to do and used a GoPro and was very pleased. When shooting while driving/riding, I found the fisheye effect was somewhat minimized because I usually wasn't shooting at close up objects, but at the road ahead and a background that would be very very far away.

In the car I just mounted it to the dash...whereas when riding, I literally just stuck the clip to the top of my helmet. Both worked well. I've had that helmet for a few years and have never had an issue and the dash camera worked well doing a picture every minute we were driving on a 5.5 month trip.

+1 for the Drift Ghost.

It does have a VERY wide field of vision (FOV) - up to 170 degrees! - but this can be reduced by selection from menus - or even by using the digital zoom (all of which also reduces the fish-eye effect which is very apparent in 170 degree FOV.)

Mounted on the side of your helmet, your helmet will show on the side of the picture, but reducing the FOV can reduce/remove it.

Personally I prefer a camera mounted on the side of my helmet, as this gives a more 'normal' viewing angle on my videos - and is a lot more 'discreet' and aerodynamic than a camera mounted on a clip on top of my helmet (which I think gives videos a strange 'view from above' appearance.)

- and the Ghost has LOTS of features to boot! (As does the GoPro's if you are into weird viewing angles... :-D)
