I assembled my own using golf cart mirrors and the largest magnets that would fit. They still can be knocked off easily if bumped the right way.

I made two from Amazon, like in your Amazon picture, double 95lb magnets, "Solid", & half the price. The Amazon ones you showed did not get great reviews. I put mine to the inside of the ROP when going thru trees.

The magnets I used were the strong Rare Earth magnets, 1 1/4" diameter, I installed a removable 24" LED light bar with 8" arms, one magnet on each bracket, had to bump it up to the 150lb, 1.65" diameter magnets to hold that secure. I attach that to my ROP also, My L47 came with accessory bullet electrical plugs so I put the light bar on front or back as needed.

FWIW I used mini welding clamps with some cut-up inner tube in between to keep them on - I knock them out of alignment here & there but haven't come off once in the last year

I used golf cart mirror of about $15 pair and some neodymium magnets. Eight or so magnets were <$20 and I used 2 each one each mirror. Used SS to attach to mirror. They've been on the tractor for a couple of years and never have knocked them off. Have had them moved a bit, but very seldom. Movement is not a problem.

Did the same as D2Cat, probably stole the idea from him, LOL.
Golf cart mirrors $11/pair, 4-pack magnets $16. These magnets aren't the strongest, but they work.
Mirrors, Magnets

Knocked one of the mirrors off clearing some brush, was fine until I ran it over. Oops!
At least they're cheap enough I just ordered another pair.
