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.

Aiming the Camera when mounted with the dual track mount: When mounting the camera on a helmet, you must do the following:

• Consider what you would like to shoot and mount the camera accordingly- left side, right side or top.
• Find a flat surface and ensure the area is clean of dirt and debris. Remove the cover of the adhesive pad and adhere to the helmet.
• Once attached, adjust the camera to be sure you are not filming the sky or the ground.

Mount using the Thread Mount

On the bottom of the XTC-100/150 is a standard thread mount that allows the camera to be mounted to a tripod or other fixture with a 1/4- 20 (1/4” diameter, 20 threads per inch) 5/16 deep thread. The vented helmet strap mount is a screw type mount. To affix the camera, insert the screw on the mount into the camera thread and rotate the camera clockwise to tighten down onto the screw.

Over tightening may cause damage to the mount and/or camera

Aiming the Camera when mounted with the thread mount: When mounting the camera on the handlebars of a bike or with the vented helmet strap mount follow these steps:

• Consider what you would like to shoot and mount accordingly.
• Ensure once attached that the camera is aimed straight and not towards the ground or at the sky.

Reformatting the Micro SD card

Ensure batteries are new or fully charged before formatting

The Micro SD card can be reformatted while in the camera. This allows you to delete all the videos at one time. Follow these steps:

• Move the RECORD switch to the record position.
• When the battery indicator turns green, press and hold the Micro SD card reformat button.
• Keep the Micro SD card reformat button down until the record indicator turns off and the SD card indicator begins blinking green.
• Move the RECORD switch to the off position. Camera Mounting and Aiming Over tightening may cause damage to the mount and/or camera
