Camera Mounting and Aiming
Mount on Dual Track System
The XTC-100/150 was innovatively designed with an identical dual
track mount system on either side of the camera. This allows you to
mount it on both sides of a helmet with ease. In addition, the main mount
piece is interchangeable and can be moved from the helmet mount to
the goggle mount. This eliminates the hassle of having to remount the
camera every time.
To mount the camera on the main mount piece, slide the camera onto
the dual track system with the two notches on the mount facing towards
the back of the camera.
To detach the camera from the main mount, hold the camera with the
lens facing away from you. Press down the mount release switch and pull
the mount towards yourself.
