3. Setup and Installation

3.1 General Mounting Principles

1. Identify the Mount: Select the appropriate mount for your intended activity (e.g., chest harness for POV, handlebar mount for cycling).
2. Attach Camera to Buckle/Adapter: Secure your action camera to a J-hook buckle or a quick release buckle using a thumb screw. Ensure the screw is tightened firmly.
3. Connect Buckle/Adapter to Main Mount: Slide the buckle or adapter into the corresponding slot on the main mount (e.g., chest harness plate, handlebar clamp). A click indicates a secure connection.
4. Tighten All Connections: Use the provided wrench tool to ensure all thumb screws are securely tightened. This prevents camera movement during activity.

3.2 Specific Mount Installation

• Chest Harness: Adjust the elastic straps to fit snugly around your torso and shoulders. The camera mounting plate should be centered on your chest.
• Bicycle Handlebar Mount: Open the clamp and position it on your bicycle handlebar. Tighten the screw until the mount is firm and does not rotate.
• Suction Cup Mount: Ensure the mounting surface is clean and smooth. Press the suction cup firmly against the surface and engage the lever to create a vacuum seal. Verify stability before attaching the camera.
• Helmet Strap Mount: Thread the straps through the vents of your helmet and secure them tightly. Attach the camera to the mounting plate on the helmet.

4. Operating Instructions

Once your action camera is securely mounted, ensure the following:

• Angle Adjustment: Most mounts feature pivot points that allow you to adjust the camera's recording angle. Loosen the thumb screws, set the desired angle, and re-tighten firmly.
• Pre-Activity Check: Before engaging in any activity, always perform a quick check to ensure all connections are tight and the camera is stable. Gently shake the mount to confirm security.
• Environmental Considerations: While the accessories are durable, they are Not Water Resistant. Avoid prolonged exposure to water or extreme weather conditions unless your action camera itself is rated for such use and properly protected.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan of your BOTSLAB Accessory Kit.

• Cleaning: Clean the accessories with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Drying: Ensure all components are completely dry before storage, especially metal parts, to prevent corrosion.
• Storage: Store the accessories in the provided carrying case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This protects them from dust and physical damage.
• Inspect Regularly: Periodically inspect all mounts and fasteners for signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace any compromised components immediately to prevent accidents.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your accessory kit, consider the following:

• Camera Not Secure: Ensure all thumb screws are fully tightened. Check that the quick release buckles or J-hook buckles are fully engaged and clicked into place.
• Mount Slipping: For handlebar or helmet mounts, ensure straps or clamps are tightened sufficiently. For suction cup mounts, verify the surface is clean, smooth, and the lever is fully engaged.
• Difficulty Adjusting Angle: Loosen the thumb screws slightly before attempting to adjust the angle. Do not force adjustments.
• Missing Parts: Refer to the 'Package Contents' section. If an item is genuinely missing, contact BOTSLAB customer support.
