... Too much time spent looking at VBA...

Cookie has some kind of contour mount for the G3 helmet. The G3 is also the most popular closed face helmet. So if you're willing to spend that kind of cash, might not be a bad investment. But I wouldn't buy a closed face helmet until you are off of student status for a plethora of reasons.

Contour is out of business. By the time you have enough experience to jump a camera, there will be a new, much more advanced camera and Cookie will surely create a mount for it. Buy the helmet, worry about buying the camera and mount when you have the experience to safely jump a camera.

This Contour mount will work on any helmet with a smooth surface: http://contour.com/collections/mounts/products/rotating-flat-surface-mount

The camera is pointing straight ahead, (lens distortion made it look as if it is pointed to the side). The mount is sitting on a compound curve.

Note this setup is for biking, not jumping. I wanted the camera where I could easily adjust the lens and turn it on/off, and also make it almost unnoticeable.
