I'm looking for a bracket or something to hold my Hero 10 camera that I can quickly grab to shoot video. Currently I put the GoPro in a jersey pocket and pull it out to shoot handheld video. I've looked at phone holders but they are too bulky. Top bar bags are too big and the zipper is too hard to open. Any ideas? Maybe a 3D printed part of some kind?

search for "GoPro quick release mounts" the cameras I've been using have a great mount which I've attached to many things, so I can move it from place to place one handed, even as I ride. for example I have it mounted on my helmet but as I'm riding I can take it off & do something one handed with it. when I got a GoPro I glued the mount to the bottom of the camera so now I can continue to use all my existing mounts. I haven't tried the one handed switch while riding yet. I might need two hands because the GoPro has an awkward shape. if I didn't already have a process for working in place with other cameras I would be looking for quick release mounts specific for the GoPro form factor. good luck!

this is mine with the other camera's mount glued on

just came across this old thread on the same topic

I've tried the click mount as a fixed camera holder but the mount broke from rough roads I think. I have the Hero 10 in the Media Mod for voice recording which adds a little bulk to the GoPro. I looked at the link rumrunn6 included but didn't see anything to help. When I wear a wind jacket I usually have a side pocket which works well for somewhat quick video shots. I usually need quick shots when other cyclists surprise me too quickly to fish the camera out of a jersey pocket. I need to improve my quick draw skills.

this looks like it would work. mounts on the bars, can pivot & can be removed easily for the hand held work

but keeping it in your pocket might be faster?

I saw that mount but getting the GoPro from it one handed looks difficult. The jersey pocket is better, I think.

Found this adapter (and many other similar ones on AliExpress) that allows you to mount your GoPro using the quarter turn mechanism on Garmin bike computer mounts, which should make it fairly simple for single handed use?

I can see that before I got my gopro I used a diff. brand/model & often rode with several of them. one mostly on my helmet & another in a pocket for hand held stuff. a third was a backup if/when either of the first two died. it will be interesting going forward, to see how I use the old with the new or possibly get another gopro as a backup. right now I'm hoping extra batteries will suffice. my older cameras do not have removable batteries, so when one died, I had to switch to the next one

that does look quick!

I like the mount from AliExpress and just bought one. I'll need a Garmin mount since I use a Wahoo Bolt computer but that should be easy. I also bought a pair of bike shorts with side pockets fro Aero Tech Designs.
