Camera Mounting and Aiming
Mount on Dual Track System
The XTC300 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.
