Mounting and Aiming Your Camera

Mount on Dual Track System

The XTC400 was designed with an innovative 3 point mount system on

both sides and the bottom of the camera. This allows you to mount it on

any side with ease.

To mount the camera on the basic mount, slide the camera onto the

track system with the notches on the mount facing toward the back of

the camera.

To detach the camera from the mount, squeeze the mount release tabs

and slide the camera forward.

Aiming the Camera when mounted with the dual track mount:

When mounting the camera on a helmet, you must do the following:

1. Consider what you would like to shoot and mount the camera

accordingly- left side, right side or top.

2. Find a flat surface and ensure the area is clean of dirt and debris.

Remove the cover of the adhesive pad and adhere to the helmet.

3. Once attached, adjust the camera to be sure you are filming in the

intended direction

4. If needed, rotate the lens to maintain an upright viewing angle
