Ozhanu,
What did you go for in the end and would you recommend it? I have the same Sony camera as you and planning on getting a helmet cam soon.

I got a sony helmet cam from an American outfit on e bay (didn't have to pay any extra tax), it came with an external mic, 2 mounting points and a wide angle lens. I use it with a DCR HC 42 (mini DV is definitely the format of choice if you are filming off-road) and am very happy with the results which, if you're interested, can be seen on my website. However I've noticed that I fall off much more while wearing the camera....strange.

Couldn't find it at first but the seller is here -

I should say the slightly 'blocky' nature of my video is not due to the camera but the uploading process to the net. The 'falling off' is entirely due to the camera.

Didn't go for the remote - just rode with the camera at different angles and then edited. However I imagine the remote might be useful, we do mostly off road stuff so fiddling around with a remote is not that practical but for more road-orientated stuff it could work. It's all good fun though so enjoy.
