a. Flip up the mounting buckle plug.
b. Slide the buckle into the mount until it clicks into place.
c. Press down on the plug so that it sits flush with the buckle.
PRO TIP: If you mount your HERO7 Silver upside down, the camera
automatically changes the orientation of your image to be right-side up. This
setting helps prevent upside-down images when you view your footage. For
more information, see Auto-Rotation
MOUNTING GUIDELINES
Follow these guidelines when attaching the adhesive mount to curved
surfaces of helmets, vehicles, and gear:
• Attach the adhesive mount at least 24 hours before use.
• The adhesive mount must be mounted only on smooth surfaces.
Porous or textured surfaces do not enable a proper bond. When
applying the mount, firmly press it into place and ensure full contact
over the entire surface.

(page 44) to attach the adhesive
(page 38).
MOUNTING
• Apply the adhesive mount only to clean, dry surfaces. Wax, oil, dirt or
other debris reduce adhesion, which can result in a weak bond and
risk of losing the camera should the connection fail.
• Attach the adhesive mount in room temperature conditions. The
adhesive does not bond properly if it's applied in cold or damp
environments to cold or damp surfaces.
• Check state and local regulations and laws to ensure that attaching
a camera to equipment (such as hunting equipment) is permitted.
Always comply with regulations that restrict the use of consumer
electronics or cameras.
• During water activities, use a camera tether and Floaty (both sold
separately) for added security to keep your camera afloat.
WARNING: To avoid injury, do not use a tether when mounting
the camera on a helmet. Do not mount the camera directly on
skis or snowboards.

WARNING: If using your camera with a GoPro mount or strap
intended for use with a helmet, always select a helmet that
meets the applicable safety standard.
Choose the right helmet for your particular sport or activity
and make sure that it is the right fit and size for you. Inspect
your helmet to ensure that it is in good condition, and follow
the helmet manufacturer's instructions on safe helmet use.
Any helmet that has sustained a major impact should
be replaced. No helmet can protect against injury in
every accident.
