Mounting the camera
The camera comes with versatile mounting options that you can use in whatever
configuration suits your needs.
There are two main components to mounting your camera; the bases and the
joints. The bases are attached to a surface using an adhesive. The joints clip into
the base and can be unclipped and moved to another mounting location.
Bases
There are two sizes of bases which come with an adhesive
backing. Use these to stick them to any clean, dry surface
where you want a secure mount. The tape used is a high
strength bonding tape that when stuck forms a virtually
indestructible weld. Therefore, choose carefully since once
it’s on, it’s on for good!
The tape is able to be mounted to glass, metal, plastics and
painted or sealed surfaces such as wood or concrete. It is
resistant to harsh outdoor and environmental extremes.
Warning
: Since the tape provides a strong adhesive,
expect that it cannot be removed. Attempts to remove
it will very likely damage the mount AND the surface to
which it is attached.
Mount and Joints
There are two joints provided. A single joint and a double
joint.
Mount
: The mount is what you use to secure the joint to
the camera or to the waterproof case by simply screwing in
the nut into the mounting holes under the camera. Simply
fit the screw to the mounting hole underneath the camera
or waterproof case.
Single joint
: The single joint as it implies has only one
join which you can adjust by turning the thumb screw
protruding out the side. Loosen the joint slightly, reposition
the angle you want the joint to sit and then tighten the
thumb screw.
The single joint also includes the screw nut that is used to
attach to the camera or waterproof case. You can attach the
mount to either of these by inserting it into the mounting
hole underneath.
