Anyone got any experience of helmet mounted cameras?

I'm planning on mounting one for a mountain biking vid.
How does one power them ...batteries?
Can they just plug in to the main camera? (single chip mini dv kept in a back pack while riding?)

Theres a few on ebay at the mo....but I thought I'd research b4 getting ripped off LOL
