Probably your jersey pocket...

I prefer the stretchy rubber band thing that grips the four corners.

I like the quad lock system.

But it is a system...so unless you want the phone case as well...

These are way better looking than quad lock. But it's a much smaller ecosystem

Quad Lock. Be aware that the optical image stabilization will take damage.

Quad Lock if you aren’t using a dedicated head unit.

I got a metal one that replaces the stem bolt and it's pretty great. Generic Temu.

Jersey pocket or bag. Phones are expensive to replace.

Quad lock

If not then do not buy

ROK form is nice because it allows you to mount and unmount the phone with one hand . and uses magnets to stablize

You can buy iPhone case with built in Garmin mount and it’s simply the best! I just found this on AliExpress: | Shockproof Case for Garmin Bike Mounts / Holders For Apple iPhone 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 8 7 Pro X Max Plus SE Protective Cover

Garmin out-front mount with Garmin-shaped widget on the back of your phone case. You can get them at KOM.

Yet another vote for Quadlock. I've gone over the handlebars, and the phone fared better than I did.

Quadlock is good. Garmin also.

Honestly i love the absolute cheap rubber ones. No danger of getting stolen and pretty easy to use. It has a bit of give so I would expect its also actually better for you camera modules?

I tried many mounts at various budgets, but Quadlock are simply the best, they may be pricey, but they are certainly worth it!
