MOUNTING GUIDELINES
Follow these guidelines when attaching mounts:
• Attach the adhesive mounts 24 hours prior to use.
• Apply adhesive mounts to clean surfaces 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 adhesive mounts in room temperature conditions.
Mount adhesives do 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 must be mounted only to smooth surfaces.
Porous or textured surfaces do not enable a proper bond. When
applying mount, firmly press into place and ensure full contact
over the entire surface.
See gopro.com/support for more information on mounts.
WARNING: If using your camera with a GoPro helmet mount,
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.
