INSTALLATION GUIDE
Follow these steps to set up your mounting system. Take your time, a proper install means a worry-free ride.
Painted or Hydro-Dipped Helmets
Custom paint, hydro-dipping, or clear-coat finishes can reduce VHB adhesion. For best results, apply the base to a clean, matte, non-oily surface. If you're unsure about your helmet's finish, reach out to us before installing.
Mounting the Base
Prepare the Surface
Clean the mounting area on your helmet use the included 3M surface cleaning cloth. Make sure the surface is completely dry, free of dust, oils, and residue. A clean surface is critical for a strong bond.
Tip: For best results, use 90%+ isopropyl alcohol and including cloth.
Apply the VHB Tape
Peel off the protective paper from the 3M VHB tape and carefully position the base on your helmet. Once placed, press firmly for 30 seconds with steady, even pressure. Double-check alignment before pressing, repositioning weakens the bond.
Tip: Warm the adhesive slightly with a hair dryer for improved bonding on cold surfaces.
Note: In some kits, the VHB tape is already pre-applied to the base.
Position the Base
Peel the remaining backing and carefully position the base on your helmet. Once placed, press firmly for 30 seconds with steady, even pressure. Double-check alignment before pressing, repositioning weakens the bond.
Let It Cure
Allow 24 hours for the VHB adhesive to reach full bond strength before using the mount. Avoid any stress on the base during this time.
Tip: Room temperature (20°C / 68°F or above) provides the best cure conditions.
Assembling Your Setup
Build Your Mount Assembly
Grab the included tool kit and fasten the camera adapter to your chosen mount. Line up the bolt holes, thread them in by hand first, then tighten with a light to medium pressure. A solid connection here means zero rattle in the field. After you first jump re-tighten with a light to medium pressure.
Tip: Snug is good, overtightening can break the heated nut insert. Finger-tight plus a quarter turn does it.
Note: In some cases, this assembly may arrive pre-assembled.
Slide In the Mount
Take your assembled mount and slide it onto the QuickRelease Base until you hear a definitive click. Give it a firm tug to confirm it's locked.
Lock In Your Camera
Seat your camera into adapter. You're locked, loaded, and ready to send it.
Tip: Make the shake test a habit. A quick 3-second check before every session keeps your gear safe.
