Mounting Your GoPro
USING THE ADHESIVE MOUNTS
Follow these guidelines when attaching adhesive mounts to helmets,
vehicles and gear:
• Attach mounts at least 24 hours before you use them.
• Only attach the mounts to smooth surfaces. They won't stick properly
to porous or textured surfaces.
• Firmly press mounts into place. Ensure the adhesive is in full contact
with the surface.
• Only use on clean, dry surfaces. Wax, oil, dirt or other debris will
weaken the bond and you could lose your camera.
• Attach mounts in dry, room-temperature conditions. They won't stick
properly in cold or damp environments or on 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.
WARNING: To avoid injury, do not use a tether when mounting
your camera on a helmet. Do not mount the camera directly on
skis or snowboards.

Mounting Your GoPro
WARNING: Always use a helmet that meets applicable safety
standards if you're using a GoPro helmet mount or strap.
Choose the right helmet for your sport or activity, and make
sure that it's the right size and fit for you. Check to see
that your helmet's in good condition and always follow the
manufacturer's instructions on safe use.
Replace any helmet that's had a major impact. No helmet can
protect against injury in every accident. Be safe.
USING YOUR GOPRO IN + AROUND WATER
HERO8 Black is waterproof to 10 m with the door locked. You won't need
an additional housing before diving in.
The touch screen was designed to work when wet, but you may need to
wipe it off if it has trouble sensing your commands. You can also navigate
with your camera's buttons if you're under water. To learn more, see
Navigating with the Buttons (page 25).
PRO TIP: Use a camera tether and a Floaty (sold separately) to keep your
camera afloat in case it detaches from the mount.
To capture extreme adventures down to 60 m, pick up the Protective
Housing (HERO8 Black), sold separately.
For more information on Camera Tethers, Floaty and the Protective
Housing, visit gopro.com.
