The screw mount on the bottom of most cameras is a 1/4" screw coarse thread.

The one I first tried is similar to the one in the link below;

or

I had limited sucess with a handle bar mount due to the vibration. Your best bet is to try to rig up a helmet mount using a adaption of the above idea, or Google, "camera mount for helmet," and see what's others have tried.
Another idea is to search Youtube for "camera mount." There are plenty of ideas out there.

I found that the smaller and lighter the camera the less it will move. Wink

Rubber washers also keep it from loosening up over the bumps.
