The GoPro hero films 1080@30fps and is under $150 these days. The hero 3 had some issues and the hero 4 is awesome but expensive. Also the new 360 fly cameras are freakin cool. It literally films 360 degrees and when playing the video back you can pan around and watch from any angle you want. It is also the camera that cost Chad Reed his race team.....kind of

Keep in mind its not just the camera. Its the mounts and decent editing software. I am probably $300 into different mounts alone. We do love ours.

Contour Roam. Cheap, and one switch to operate. Comes with their own software that is basic and easy to use. No bells or whistles. I have tons of video from these. Good quality video for the money. I recommend the Roam2, but if you get a Roam (the original) you can update the firmware to Roam2 very easily, and then the quality is even better.
Here's an example on ebay-

Here's an example from an original Roam with the Roam2 firmware update-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lwp3R-3P-jU

I use to make all of my mounts. Go to Lowes and let the imagination run wild. The aluminum yard sticks that are about $5 make the possibilities endless. For editing I use Cyberlink power director 13. Great software and doesn't break the bank. Think it was about $75

SJ4000 or SJ5000 if you have the cash, slightly lower quality batteries but the SJ4000 can use Go-Pro 2 mounts and lenses (can't tell about the SJ5000).
A tad lower quality on color management (or whatever is the term), but if you shoot 1080p it's very very very (can't stress that enough) close to the Go-Pro sibling but costs only ~100$ with mounts and 2 batteries (also has WiFi and what not, 170 view angle, etc... very poor on night filming tough).
Search youtube for reviews/films you will be amazed of the quality. Be careful tough if you plan to buy one, not to buy one of the clones.
If you need any further details, please let me know and i'll share my experience with the camera. I am very happy with mine.

I bought one of these last year at $399.00. Now they have lowered to $299.00.

I like everything about it except the lack of support from a live person. Pretty much every issue I have encountered was covered on the trouble shooting page though. Guess I'm just old fashioned.

What kind of mounts does it use? Is it very heavy?

Has several different kind of mounts, including one for the goggle strap. I will take some pictures for you later.

Robbie Gordon uses Replay xd for all his SST stuff, appears to be excellent quality

Here are photo's of my camera. Of course there are mounts for just about everything application. They now have a unit even smaller than this. As for the weight, you can feel it ever so slightly thru the goggle frame but I like that, since I know its still attached and not laying in the trail 20 miles back.

Mine stayed on for 160 miles of dual sport (LBL200) so about 6 hours best I remember. The odd thing for me anyway, it will record in 1 hour intervals and restart on its own, like a time lapse thing. Forgive me as I'm technically challenged at anything above programming my ICO

The GoPro only films in 17min. intervals. That goggle strap mount is interesting. Might have to look into one of these
