GoPro Session - Record while charging - Anyone come up with a solution to running a micro usb cable into it in the real world?

I have been looking at 90 degree angled micro usb cables and adapters but they all seem so bulky. Trying to run a power cable to the camera mounted on a motorcycle helmet, and run the power line to a battery in the top of a backpack. Anyone try anything like this yet?

why not a normal cable? they dont stick out that much?

Best solution would be to solder it yourself.

They stick out enough though. Wanted it to be slimmer. Was considering dremeling a hole in the side door to run the cable in so the door wouldn't have to be open to record while charging. I have no plans on taking the camera in the bathtub with me or the rain, so waterproofing isn't an issue.
