you can think of, strap on the EPIC and catch all the action.

prior to using under water.

Clip Mount – easily clip to the brim of a hat or the visor of your vehicle.

tube mount will accommodate bars between ½” to 2” in diameter.

Tree Screw – while high in a tree stand or low in a blind, simply screw into any tree branch or trunk at
the desired height to capture your line of view.

Shock resistant saddle – want a little extra padding or just don’t want to use any of the provided
mounting accessories? This dense foam pad used with a simple strap will help you mount the EPIC
and absorb vibrations.

Elbow Joint – With three adjustable wheel hinges, you can capture almost any point of view angle
without any obstruction.

Suction cup – Heavy duty RAM Suction Cup design offers a secure lock mount for contoured or flat
surfaces such as moto helmets and fuel tanks.
