Camera Assembly

ASSEMBLING THE CAMERA

The HERO3 camera housing is waterproof to 197'/60m and is constructed of polycarbonate and stainless steel for ultimate durability. The HERO3 has a new improved latch closure that offers one hand open-and-close functionality and locking.

To place the hero3 camera into the housing:

1. Place camera in housing.
2. Position the backdoor into place.
3. Lift the latch arm into upright position allowing the hinged arm to hang downward.
4. Hook grooved portion of hinged arm to grooved top of the backdoor.
5. Use one finger to push down the latch arm to snap into place.

To remove the hero3 camera from the housing:

1. Grip the housing with left hand.
2. Using right hand, place thumb to left side of arrow and index finger just below latch arm.
3. Pinch fingers together, sliding arrow to the right.
4. Use fingertips to pull upward, allowing latch arm to swing to fully upright position.
5. Lift hinged arm over the housing and remove the HERO3.

To close properly, be sure grooved sections of the latch arm and the backdoor are hooked.

The HERO3 housing comes with two types of back doors —Skeleton and Standard.

Skeleton Backdoor

The Skeleton Backdoor (non-waterproof) provides better sound quality by allowing more sound to reach the camera's microphone. It also reduces wind noise at speeds up to 100mph when mounted on helmets, motorcycles, bikes and other fast-moving vehicles. Use this backdoor only when sand, excessive dirt/dust and water damage is not a risk. This backdoor is also recommended for use inside vehicles.

Standard Backdoor

The Standard Backdoor makes the housing waterproof to 197'/60m. Use this door when you need to protect the camera from water and other environmental hazards.

PRO TIP:
Apply RAIN-X or a similar anti-beading solution to the housing lens to prevent waterspots from forming when using your camera in rain or water. When RAIN-X is not available, periodically licking your lens is a good backup solution. Dunk your camera after licking. Trust us, this works.

SWAPPING HOUSING DOORS

Your HERO3 camera housing comes with two types of backdoors—Standard and Skeleton (non-waterproof).

To change backdoor:

1. Open the backdoor of the housing so that it is hanging downwards.
   
2. Pull downwards on the backdoor until it snaps free from the hinge.
   
3. Line up replacement backdoor into the hinge opening.
   
4. Push upwards on the backdoor until it clicks into place.
   

PREVENTING WATER DAMAGE TO YOUR CAMERA

The rubber seal that lines the camera housing forms a waterproof barrier that protects your HERO3 in wet and underwater conditions. Keep the camera housing's rubber seal clean; a single hair or grain of sand can cause a leak.

After every use in salt water you will need to rinse the outside of the housing with non-salt water and dry. Not doing this can eventually cause corrosion of the hinge pin and salt buildup in the seal, which can cause failure.

To clean the seal, rinse in fresh water and shake dry (drying with a cloth may cause lint to compromise the seal). Re-install the seal into the grooves in the backdoor of the housing.

Failure to follow these steps each time you use your HERO3 can result in leaks that may damage or destroy your camera. Your warranty does not cover water damage resulting from user error.

ATTACHING ADHESIVE MOUNTS

To attach your HERO3 camera to a mount, you will need an attachment buckle, thumb screw or other hardware depending on the mount you are using. For more information on mounts, visit gopro.com/support.

USING CURVED OR FLAT ADHESIVE MOUNTS

The curved and flat adhesive mounts make it easy to attach the camera to curved and flat surfaces of helmets, vehicles and gear. With the attachment buckle the assembled camera housing can be clicked ON/OFF the secured adhesive mounts.

Flat Adhesive Mount

Curved Adhesive Mount

ATTACHING ADHESIVE MOUNTS

PRO TIP:

• Apply to clean surface only. Wax, oil, dirt or other debris will reduce adhesion, which can result in a weak bond and risk of losing camera should connection fail.
• Attach mount in room temperature conditions. Mount's adhesive will not bond properly if applied in cold or damp environments to cold or damp surfaces, or if the surface is not room temperature.
• Adhesive mounts should only be mounted to smooth surfaces; porous or textured surfaces will not enable a proper bond. When applying mount, firmly press into place and ensure full contact over entire surface.
• For best results, attach the mount a minimum of 24 hours prior to use.
  * See gopro.com/support for more information on mounts.

Locking Plug

Using the HERO3 in high impact sports such as surfing or skiing where significant impact may occur? Use the special locking plug which securely locks the attachment buckle fingers into place--helping prevent accidental housing release from the mount. The circular ring fits over the thumbscrew and acts as a leash to prevent dropping or losing the locking plug.
