Radar Detector, rear view mirror mounts

I have an Escort Passport Max radar detector that I'd like to mount under the rear view mirror. There seem to be limited options out there outside of BlendMounts (min-005) which at $129 is quite expensive. Can anyone make a recommendation out there for another brand?

Didn't it come with a windshield mount?

On Saturday I was at Abt Electronics near Chicago getting an estimate on installing an Escort Passport Max2 under the rearview mirror. I don't recall the exact price for the mount but I'm thinking it was around $30. Call them at 800.814.7572. and I'm sure they can help.

The Blend Mount is an awesome product and worked perfect on my wife's Subaru Outback for a V1. The V1 is mounted on the sun visor in the Mini and is out of site from the outside but visor is not functional now.

My bad.

I had uploaded them to NAM previously, and it does not allow me to attach them now. Try the link below for pics:
