up.

Using the universal mount
You can mount your camera in many places, for example on your helmet or on the handlebars using
the optional bike mount.
EMAILED GAVIN FOR BETTER IMAGE
The universal mount kit lets you mount your camera on a helmet or other flat or slightly curved
surface. The kit contains the universal mount and two adhesive discs.
1. Attach the adhesive disc to your chosen surface. Firmly press it into place to ensure full contact
over its entire surface.
Follow these tips to make sure that the adhesive disc is secure:
Apply the adhesive disc only to a clean and dry surface. Wax, oil, dirt and moisture reduce
adhesion, which can result in a weak bond.
Attach the adhesive disc in dry, room-temperature conditions. The adhesive disc won't be
secure if you attach it in damp and cold conditions.
Attach the adhesive disc only to a smooth and hard surface. The adhesive disc won't secure-
ly attach to porous, textured or soft surfaces.
Regularly check the security of the adhesive disc.

2. Attach the universal mount to the adhesive disc by first fully opening the mount.
3. Push the mount onto the disc at any yaw angle until you hear a click.
4. Fold down the camera platform to any angle between 90 degrees to horizontal and fully closed.
This locks the mount to the disc.
