Don't worry, it's easy to shoot lots of crappy video with any camera, as I can personally attest.
The Contour was easy to figure out the basic positioning and video resolutions. Shoot Tall HD setting to help with vertical alignment. I have the waterproof/ shockproof case too, well worth the $30-40.
The next generation is supposed to have bluetooth capability, so you can control it with your phone. That's pretty amazing technology, if it works well. I have the exposure setting at +2, because I tend to shoot in the woods, summer and winter.
Distance resolution is very limited with today's affordable helmet cams. The focus is essentially fixed to a certain distance, relatively short, because they are meant to capture close-up action.
