18 » MOUNTING
MOUNTING
With the current delivery of contents the SOCAM can be mounted with
the following congurations: Flat surface, curved (convex) surface,
splash-proof case and standardized tripod attachment.
Mounting the universal clip
The universal clip (C) is required for all mounting congurations
except if the SOCAM is mounted directly onto a standard tripod
attachment. Screw the universal clip onto the clip attachment (2)
(»Fig.1). Ensure that the rubber washer stays between clip and
casing. If you use the splash-sproof case (B), then attach the
universal clip to the case.
Fig.1

» MOUNTING 19
Mounting at and curved surface mounts
TIPS Prior to attaching the mount to the surface do the
following:
• Clean the mounting surface. Oil, grease, dirt and
dust reduce adhesion. This may lead to the SOCAM
falling off and being damaged.
• Attach the mount at room temperature.
• Avoid uneven and rough mounting surfaces.
• Ensure the mount is securely attached to the
surface before use.
• To increase the adhesive strength of the double-
sided tape, let it rest for a day after attaching.
The at surface mount (D) (»Fig.2) is used for at surfaces, whereas
the curved surface mount (E) (»Fig.3) attaches to convex surfaces
(e.g. helmets). Use the included double-sided tape to afx the surface
mounts.
Fig.2 Fig.3

20 » MOUNTING
Slide the universal clip attached to the SOCAM into the surface mount
until it clicks in place (»Fig.4).
To release, squeeze the two tongues of the universal clip and slide it
out of the mount.
