Abstract:
An image capture device is disclosed that includes a body defining a peripheral cavity and a removable door assembly that is configured to close and seal the peripheral cavity. The door assembly includes a door body; a locking mechanism; and a biasing member that is configured for engagement with the locking mechanism to resist unlocking of the locking mechanism until a threshold force is applied, at which time, the biasing member is moved from a normal position, in which the biasing member extends at a first angle in relation to the locking mechanism, to a deflected position, in which the biasing member extends at a second angle in relation to the locking mechanism. When locked, the door assembly is rotationally fixed in relation to the body of the image capture device, and when unlocked, the door assembly is rotatable in relation to the body of the image capture device.
