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.
