    Default Suggestions for mounting a camera - 2020 RT

    Anyone have any suggestions for a camera mounting location on the front of my 2020 RT - somewhere that I don't have to drill holes or alter the factory equipment?

    I can build a bracket, no problem, but don't see a good place to even put that.

    Would prefer to not place it behind the windscreen.

    Looking at a Garmin Virb or similar. (The Virb can be controlled by my Nav.)

    I already have a helmet cam but the battery runs down after about 2 hours which means I have to keep a usb battery pack in my pocket and run a charging cable to my helmet.

    I mounted my VIRB in front of and below screen. Ran the wire under the pull-out grille to right side switched power block.
    I used industrial 3M 2-sided (gray) to mount and it's holding up well after 4k mi.

    I have one in the back also right underneath the top case. Sorry I don't have better pictures.

    That deflector looks like it can be replaced easily (and inexpensively) so I might be able to drill some holes then buy a replacement piece should I decide to change it at some point.
