MOUNTING
Follow the Mounting Guidelines (page 59) to attach an adhesive mount
to a surface.
3. Attach the mounting buckle to the mount:
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 HERO upside down, the camera automatically
changes the orientation of your image to be the right way up. For more
information, see Auto-Rotation (page 52).

MOUNTING
MOUNTING GUIDELINES
Follow these guidelines when attaching adhesive mounts to curved and
flat surfaces of helmets, vehicles and gear:
• Attach the adhesive mounts at least 24 hours before use.
• Adhesive mounts 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.
• Apply adhesive mounts only to clean, dry surfaces. Wax, oil, dirt or
other debris reduce adhesion, which can result in a weak bond and the
risk of losing the camera should the connection fail.
• Attach adhesive mounts in room temperature conditions. Adhesives
do not bond properly if applied in cold or damp environments to cold
or damp surfaces.
• Check local and national 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 and 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.
