...on Handlebars
If you’re using the Action Camera to record your bicycling adventures, it’s often
a better idea to mount the Action Camera to your handlebars than to your
body. Mounting the Action Camera to the handlebars will ensure that the camera’s
view stays upright, and doesn’t wind up looking down at the road or up at the sky
depending on the angle of your neck!
Undo the bottom strap of the handlebar clip.1.
Place over handlebars, lining up the groove in the clip to sit in.2.
Attach the strap so the clip is secure in place, but not so tight that the strap 3.
will break or stretch.
Once you’re satisfi ed the clip is secure, attach the 4. Action Camera using the
second strap on the top.
Tips and Tricks
Many handlebars are not exactly straight, rather they are curved. This is not a •
problem. Once you mount the handlebar clip, you can pivot the top half of the
clip to face the way you want.
Mount the • Action Camera so that the Rec/Pause button is covered by the tab
in the centre of the top strap. This means that the button is protected from
being accidentally bumped and your recording halted prematurely.
If required, you can twist the Action
Camera slightly to compensate for
the curvature of your handlebars

...on your Head
The head strap which came with your Action Camera is a great way to record
exactly what you’re seeing when your skating, snowboarding, participating in the
next extreme ironing championship – whatever fl oats your boat. Basically, by using
a cunning combination of practical design and some elastic, the Action Camera
head strap lets you strap the Action Camera to your head.
To use the Action Camera with the head strap:
Before attaching the 1. Action Camera to the head strap, try the head strap on.
Get a feel for the shape and size of the head strap.
To fi gure out which way around the head strap should be worn, the three 2.
adjustable clasps go towards the back.
Adjust the size and feel of the head strap with the three clasps. Ideally, the head 3.
strap should be tight enough to the head to prevent unwanted movement,
whilst loose enough to be comfortable.
Locate the two elastic rings, located on the left hand side of the head strap 4.
(whilst worn). Move them to the location that you’d like to mount the Action
Camera.
Push the 5. Action Camera through the elastic loops, and secure the Action
Camera in place with one elastic loop around the front and one elastic loop
around the back of the Action Camera. It should be a tight fi t!
Tips and Tricks
Make sure you mount the • Action Camera the right way up. Even a slight angle
can seem quite dramatic when you play your footage back! The easiest way to
ensure this is to check that the Rec/Pause button is facing up.
When placing the camera in the fi nal position, it can help to use a mirror (or •
willing accomplice) to make sure that it is facing exactly forward.
Mount the • Action Camera far enough forward on your head to avoid shooting
your own ear!
