It is recommended that the camera is mounted upright
for best recording result.

Removing the Mounting Clip

1. With the back of the camera facing you, rotate the
clip clockwise so that the middle of the top of the clip
(the widest end) is lined up with the top-right corner of
the camera.

2. Slide the clip downwards in a straight line from the
top-right to the bottom left corner of the camera. The
clip should slide off its mounting stud.

3. To replace or swap the clip with a different sized
clip, simply line up the hole in the back of the new clip
against the mounting stud and reverse the movements
described above. Push the clip onto the stud until it
stops to ensure it is securely mounted.
