Front Camera attachment ideas?

I own a Canyon with the H31 integrated cockpit. https://www.canyon.com/en-us/gear/co...t/9100400.html I do have the Canyon Garmin front attachment and it looks pretty slick. But I just can't figure out where I could mount something like a GoPro or something like that. I know there's always the helmet but I'm not interested in that. It just doesn't appear to have anywhere to attached a camera.

Well, I guess I should have looked first. It appears Canyon does make one. I didn't see it on my first sweep of their site.

Now I just have to find one since they are not listed on the US site.

I have found out that what I want is available in France but Canyon Europe (various countries) act independently of Canyon US. Since Canyon US cannot tell me when these parts will be available I have another plan. My brother lives part time in Paris and he's agreed to me having Canyon (France) send them to him and he would just mail them to me.

I've been hoping for a domane equivalent to hold two devices.
Goodluck with your procurement!

The Blendr system should be the ticket for the Domane. I have the Duo mount on a Domane for a Garmin and a light. You can also get a GoPro mount. Very clean.

I don't like the camera on top of the helmet idea. As a test I mounted my camera on my helmet but even though the camera doesn't weigh much I could feel the weight of it and it was uncomfortable. I just mounted it on the handlebars.

Back when I was a lad, or at least younger, an accessory could be mounted to the bike with whatever was in the accessory's box. I suppose this is an advantage to an integrated cockpit: you have to have the correct mount to attach accessory A to bike B (for whatever value of A (1-N) and B (1-M)) you're trying to mount. :/

^^ I do agree that most manufacturers nowadays seem to make things in a way that tries to keep you within their "eco-system" of parts and accessories. There are always workarounds but I do like to keep anything I attach to my bike looking as elegant as possible without a lot of additional tape and screws.

Taking a bit of a left turn here... I am finding out that Canyon USA is totally independent from Canyon Germany. I've chatted with Canyon HQ and they always come back with "You'll have to check with Canyon USA, they are independent of us". ?WTF?
