I have used one since 2011, and have had no issues with the original mount. I load it without thinking of weight. It had held my phone, battery pack, wallet, Canon DSLR, etc. with no issues. I now use a Fuji XPro-1, and carried it in the handlebar bag on tour, along with other heavy items with no issues. The mount can take it. Does it bounce a bit? Sure, but it isn't an issue, in fact, when it is loaded, it dampens the movement a bit. I wouldn't give it a second thought. Ortlieb knows what they are doing.
