GoPro 8 frame, compatible with upside-down "out front" mounts?
I'm looking for a frame/mount for GoPro 8 that would facilitate quick removal/reinstallation for charging, cleaning etc. I see that there are quite a few GoPro 8 frames offered on Amazon, but they all seem to employ the same general design feature: in order to remove or insert the camera one has to access the frame through a rear door, which opens simply by sliding it out of the frame. The door is held in place by a magnet or by what looks like a "spring-loaded ball" kind of latch. In my case I use K-Edge "out front" mount for the camera, which means that the camera is hanging upside down under the mount arm. I suspect that the aforementioned door might get shaken out of the frame and lost when the ride gets rough.
Anyone has any experience with these frames? Is that door fairly secure? Or is it easy to lose? Maybe there are some alternative frame designs out there?
Or should I just get a full GoPro-3-style protective housing?
