Amazon is full of stuff to mount a compass. Again, all you need to mount to the cold shoe is a GoPro mount from UCLS or the China equivilent (of junk quality) and the GoPro helmet sticky mounts, the flat ones and a standard wrist compass. Remove the band, adhere to the GoPro sticky mount and slide into hot shoe.
