Righteous GoPro Mount For Fishing 24Feb18

I may have found a solution for using my HeroCam while fishing. My net-cam worked ok but to film the fight and all I had to properly hold the net between my knees - disabling mobility for the most part - not a good thing in a fight with big fish. I've been searching for a solution to attach to my vest or hat somehow and have tried and rejected many mounts and ideas. Several more came in this week and while two were again sent to the mount gadget basket for other use, one in particular appears very promising. The PDQ Mount (Pretty Damm Quick) uses a frame with strong embedded magnets to clamp and hold to fabric. It needs field trial to assure it won't come come off or otherwise get in my way but it is the best I've found and appears very promising.
Field trial update... it works great during a day on the PT. It did not get in my way; it did not fall off; it took decent footage and images from a good perspective. Simms should integrate or allow integration of the PDQ into their vest so I'd just need to magnetically clamp on the outside frame. There's double ply of material where it should go and Simm's could allow access to the spot with a zipper or something. Anyway - woohoo.
