UNIVERSAL SNAPTRAYS
Our SnapTrays use an industrial strength adhesive to secure the camera to the mounting surface. Our mounts snap
in and out of the tray via the push tabs. This allows for quick removal and repositioning of the camera in one of many
accessory SnapTrays.
Fig. 1
1. Push tabs down and hold
2. Grasp camera and slide out of the SnapTray base
IMPORTANT
Fig. 2
Once tabs clear the front of the
SnapTray, slide camera completely out
Use rubbing alcohol to clean the mounting surface. Wipe dry the surface. Apply your VHB mount
to surface. Press and hold for sixty seconds to allow adhesive to bond to the surface.
Bond strength will increase through time. At room temperature, wait for at least 24 hours to
achieve 90% bonding strength, and 72 hours for 100% bonding strength.
