Remove the back from

the housing. The

mounting tray for the

camera is secured to

the housing back.

Position the camera

with lens on the tray

and secure it with the

mounting bolt which

threads into the

camera’s tripod socket.

Use a tool or coin to

tighten the mounting

bolt so the camera

bottom is flush against

the tray.
