Product Overview

The Model DTX-UNI Universal Mount (FSC Part No. 8605205) is a mounting option for the
Model DTX-RC Rear Camera. The DTX-UNI is ideal for applications requiring a greater viewing
range than that available with the standard camera mounting bracket. The dual gimbal mounts
provide universal viewports while balancing the weight of the camera from above rather than
from below, fixing the camera in a highly stable position. The DTX-UNI is preassembled to make
attaching the rear camera quick and easy, and comes with an Allen key to aid in the installation.

Required Tools

• Drill and drill bit suitable for the material and type of screw used (machine or Type A)
• Screwdriver for installer-supplied #10 screws
• Allen key supplied with the DTX-UNI
