Fasten your Cambox
The Velcro fastener positioning needs to be done in a temperate and non moist
atmosphere (approximately 15°C) to ensure maximum grip of the glue. It is also
recommended to wait at least 4 hours before placing the Cambox on its clean and
dry support !
Prior to stick, it is recommended to
place the fastener under your visor
in order to memorize its future
position.
Remove meticulously the paper
protection of the velcro in such a way
that your fingers do not touch the
adhesive part.
Place the velcro fastener under the
visor and press strongly on all the
surface to ensure a good adhesion.
Present the Cambox horizontally in front
of its velcro support.
Apply a pressure on the 3 Cambox
points as on the image opposite to
ensure a good fastening.

Make sure that the velcro fastener support is in good condition and that there is no
foreign matter that could hinder the fastening of the camera. In that case, plan the
replacement of the velcro by a new original one.

its velcro support, accompany the
unfastening process of the Cambox
by applying the same vertical and
circular effort.

the vertical and circular effort
towards the extremity of the
Cambox to end the removing
operation.
