GoPro Hero7 Black working somehow?

Hi,
I am trying to get a GoPro Hero7 Black working as a mtp device but it does not seem to work. I am using libmtp Version 1.16.1 and the gorpro is recogniced correctly when connected via usb:

╰─$ lsusb                                                            
Bus 001 Device 023: ID 2672:0047 GoPro HERO7

simple-mtpfs does recognice it too

╰─$ sudo simple-mtpfs --list-devices
1: GoProHERO7 Black

but mounting does not work

╰─$ sudo simple-mtpfs --device 1 /mnt
Could not retrieve device storage.
For android phones make sure the screen is unlocked.
ERROR: Could not close session!

journalctl shows this messages when connecting to usb

But when trying to mount with pcmanfm this shows up

Dez 23 22:58:15 gwenyver gvfsd[990]: Error 2: PTP Layer error 02ff: LIBMTP_Get_Storage(): Could not get storage info.

i have also tried gvfs-gphoto2 which supports gopro up to version 6... not working

So... has anyone made a successfull connection with a gopro hero7?
Would be a bummer to pull out the sd-card every time i want to upload the images and videos made....
