Recommended 'Out Front' mount

Hello,

I am new to the Garmin Edge 530. I received a used one for a birthday gift :) However, it did not come with an 'out front' mount. Am happy to go and buy one, but have not idea which one is best(?)

I live in the UK. I go road cycling. The official Garmin branded universal mounts look rather long in my opinion.

Does anyone have any good recommendations?

Thank you all in advance.

I have the K Edge sport on 2 of my bikes. Good size for the 530, completely solid, and the mount itself has not developed any rattles/play in the 5 or 6 years I've had it

It's expensive, but I love it, integrates a bell (invisible) and a gopro / light mount under your Garmin. It's close to the stem, but plenty room to press the buttons.

As an mtb guy, I really like the shorter Garmin mtb mount, but besides the one that came in a bundle, it's just stupid expensive for a piece of plastic. I'm using this generic one from Amazon on two other bikes, it works and fits great. It's slightly longer than the Garmin mtb but shorter than the standard Garmin out in front mount. I broke one of these in a crash, but it likely saved the Garmin. I'd rather the mount break than the 530!

PS, the crash helped me appreciate the Garmin tether around the handlebars, I always use it, prevents an airborne Garmin head unit in event of crash...

Thanks for all the suggestions. Will take a look.... but those aluminium mounts look amazing, yet rather costly :/
